Supervision / Mentoring is often thought of as an annoying requirement. I think there is more to it than that.

Pesso Boyden Workshop in Newcastle Upon Tyne - 24th & 25th May 2025.
My friend and colleague Masha Bennett and her co-facilitator Clara Charlesworth will be running a two day Pesso-Boydon workshop in Newcastle in May (the venue still has to be confirmed).

The Pesso Boydon approach is an intensive approach (completely unlike tapping) to working with the damage childhood can do to us. So if you have attachment wounds, pre-verbal trauma or other childhood ‘stuff’ you may find this very useful. Please note, you have to be reasonably stable and able to tolerate emotional intensity.

I attended one of these workshops the year before last, here are my reflections on that experience:

Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend a ‘Pesso Boyden’ workshop in Manchester with my good friend Masha Bennett and her colleague Clara Charlesworth. The Pesso Boyden approach is a way of repairing some of the psychological/emotional damage done to us in childhood. (It’s the kind of work I do, but it’s a very different approach).

It was a powerful experience for the whole group. Masha and Clara were amazing facilitators: skilled, grounded and kind. Under their guidance, the whole weekend was collaborative, respectful and accepting of our humanity and we all had lesser or greater roles to play in the work.

It’s hard to summarise the process, but I would describe it as a way of defusing the painful aspects of past experiences and infusing what should have been present in a powerful and moving way.

If you feel you have a messed up childhood crying out to be healed you might want to check it out.

I can’t recommend Masha and Clara highly enough.

After a (very) long hiatus I'm launching a new and improved email newsletter aimed specifically at tapping practitioners.

It's looks at strategies to help manage client sessions, deal with common difficulties, ways of thinking about problems and how to organise your tapping.

There are no tapping scripts or anything like that, just concrete strategies and tactics for working with clients based on my 20+ years of experience as a tapper.

This is an exquisite description of some of the clients I work with.

Back in the 80’s, when I was on a Person Centred counselling course, one of our tutors, Professor Charles (Chuck) M. Devonshire, said this:

“For most people, the security of misery is better than the misery of insecurity.”

I think he was right and I think this observation explains a lot of otherwise mysterious human behaviour.
