💛 After the conference in Montpellier, we have been thinking about how much our wellbeing is shaped by connection with another . 💛

So often, the moments that bring ease and nourishment aren’t things we do on our own, but those times when we feel we truly belong. Sometimes it’s a conversation that flows, a laugh that softens the day, or even just sitting in quiet company with someone who understands. 💛

Wellbeing is often spoken about as something individual, but we believe so much of it is relational. Being part of a community, feeling seen and understood can be such a gentle kind of medicine. 🌿

For us, the TA community is one of those places where belonging and connection are felt so strongly. It is a space where we grow and learn together. ✨

Where do you notice your own sense of belonging? 🤔

🔎 TA DEEP DIVE 3/5:
Feelings Cycle: Discovering and Unsticking Stuck Feelings

Emotional literacy (1996) can seem far too daunting when we or our clients are disassociated from feelings or our bodily responses. In this workshop we will draw from both physiological and phycological fields theories and practices to support clients make sense of and unstick some of their feelings.

We will consider the Vasomotoric Cycle (Eiden, 2002), Efferent Distribution of Primary Regulatory Networks (Perry, 2010), as well as Emotional Literacy (Stiner, 1996), and Rackets.

✨ Yesterday we had the joy of joining the STAA Summer Event in Perth ✨

The theme, “Rewriting the Narrative: Reclaiming the Self in Education”, was powerfully and thoughtfully delivered by Cat Cornthwaite PTSTA (E). 💡📖

A huge thank you to Cat, to the STAA committee, and to everyone who joined on the day. It was such a rich space for reflection, connection and new possibilities. 🌿

If you are not yet part of the STAA community, we would really encourage you to get involved 😊 It is a wonderful way to learn, grow, and connect with other practitioners passionate about TA. 💛

🔎 TA DEEP DIVE 2/5:
TA Deep Dive: The Drama Triangle: Accounting for the Discount

The Drama Triangle (1968) is a well-established TA theory that has developed way past TA (Summerton, 1993), and has been even been researched (Lac & Donaldson, 2022). In this workshop we will consider some of the more complex ways that this can be used in clinical work – considering practically how we might use this with our clients to support change.

We will also consider how this sits within the wider TA landscape and how we can best write about the Drama Triangle.
