Carolyn Spring worked therapeutically with children for nearly ten years. And then all of a sudden, at the peak of her career, she had an unexpected and debilitating breakdown. From working as a professional in a multi-agency team, she suddenly found herself unable to sleep, eat, think or work. At times she was barely able to speak, and when she did so it was in a four-year-old's voice, pleading not to be hurt. She began what felt like a series of 'time-travels', back into the past, then suddenly forwards again into the present. She would realise that she was miles from home, with no memory of how she had got there. She felt like she was stepping in and out of the TARDIS in Doctor Who.
What had happened? Had she gone mad? Where had the competent professional gone, and was this regressed child- adult here to stay? Could she get better? What would happen to her?
That was over five years ago. Carolyn is now walking down a path of increasing healing, having been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder as a result of extreme childhood sexual, physical and emotional abuse. Using her story as a basis, and expanding out into the experiences from 'the other side' of two leading therapists, this training day will explore the mechanisms of dissociation and DID, the effect of trauma on the body and brain, the reality and therapeutic minefields of disorganised attachment, and how healing and recovery can be possible through appropriate therapeutic work.
The training will be led by Hazel Barton and Dr Jane Potts, two therapists experienced in the field of trauma and dissociation, as well as by Carolyn herself. It will be a fascinating day full of insights into both living and working with Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Please note that some content may be triggering for survivors but attempts will be made throughout the day to give advance warning.
