Comments
“…belonging to a community of like minded people who inspire, encourage and challenge me to keep growing and developing and how wonderful and unique that is….”
“Supervising CAT trainees and providing CAT training therapies over the last decade – it has been a pleasure to be alongside the next generation as they become CAT therapists. I’ve witnessed a growing relational awareness and the ability and skills to connect with others in distress. CAT encourages self-reflection, offers emotional and dynamic understanding and the possibility of change for all of us.” (Kath Sykes)
“The connections I made with peers as I was training, supervisors (some of whom are now colleagues), and others in the CAT world I’ve since rubbed shoulders with, have been really valuable in lots of ways – personally and professionally. Training with the course helped me be part of networks that have really helped my work and sustained me through the choppy seas of NHS reorganisations etc.”
“What I learned has helped me think when times are tough, organisationally and clinically. It’s helped massively in my therapeutic work – I feel I can give back a bit to my clients and supervisees some of the ‘nourishment’ the course gave me.”
“It started with a conversation about what CAT was, and I was drawn (!) in by reciprocal roles and mapping. What followed was practitioner, psychotherapy and supervisor training, running workshops and furthering the scope and awareness of personal reformulations.
I think it’s fair to say I’ve found my therapy ‘fit’.” (Clive Turpin)“Mapping’s been a real gift for all sorts of purposes.”
