This is a new one day online workshop, delivered by clinical Psychologist Dr. Kevin Fehin. The training will focus on the emotion of guilt and how childhood attachment can often create a guilt complex. Guilt will be differentiated from other emotions, while it’s developmental origins will also be explored. Interpersonal Symptoms of guilt such as submissiveness, obsessiveness, feelings of inferiority and constant states of doubt will be explored together with the self image of the person struggling with guilt. Therapeutic interventions will be outlined together with the specifics of a therapeutic relationship designed to speak to people suffering from intense feelings of guilt or an underlying guilt complex.

Attendees will learn to identify guilt as an often hidden process, to distinguish from other affects and to recognise a developmental derived guilt complex and how it influences adult functioning. Furthermore attendees will explore therapeutic interventions to address guilt related issues such as obsessiveness and develop awareness of the type of therapeutic relationship that speaks best to someone presenting with guilt related trauma or issues.

Participants will receive an emailed copy of the presentation, other supporting documents and links to relevant literature by email which will enable them to develop their understanding of Working with Guilt. In each session participants will have the opportunity to participate in discussions via Zoom.

Suitable for: Psychologists, Counsellors, working with addictions, Psychotherapists, Nurse Practitioners, Youth Workers, Social Care Workers
