Join CLEAR – Emotional Trauma and Therapy Specialists – for 3-hour CPD session exploring the lasting impact of childhood abuse and relational trauma on adults (with an emphasis on sexual abuse), and practical ways to support clients in therapy.
This workshop will cover:

We are delighted to welcome Caroline Eshghi, who will share her lived experience of relational trauma, providing invaluable insights into the client perspective.
