| Extra Info | : | A live webinar with Margaret Altemus, Sarah Benamer, Letticia Banton, Yansie Rolston and Jane Catherine Severn Mirroring society, the menopause is an area of women’s lives that has been overlooked by psychotherapy, in theory, research and practice. This live webinar will address why a legacy of misogyny prevails in silencing discourse about the menopause and how as psychotherapists we need to confront this by focusing on it as an area of training, so we can better empower our clients to navigate this fundamental life-transition. As the menopause is a bio-psycho-social-spiritual phenomenon we have designed the programme to offer multidisciplinary perspectives to enrich your understanding of what the menopause can mean for women. The speakers will offer their expertise from medicine and psychiatry, psychoanalysis, intercultural therapy with a focus on the black experience, and humanistic psycho-spirituality. They will also offer personal, case insights and suggestions of how to work with the menopause in practice. There will be plenty of time for questions and we will close the webinar with a panel discussion which will enable some integration of the new learnings throughout the day. Please note the content will primarily be about women’s experience but we acknowledge not all women experience menopause and not all people who experience menopause identify as women. We intend this to be an inclusive event that recognises subjectivity. We welcome therapists of all genders to join us to learn about how the menopause impacts people of all genders in a variety of ways. |
