Workshop Description
What exactly do we mean by containment? Why is it developmentally necessary? Is it always desirable? When does containment become compartmentalisation? What - and who - facilitated our best experiences of being contained, and what can we learn from those? How do we help clients learn healthy containment, or, indeed, allow themselves to be less 'self-contained' where appropriate?
The workshop will offer theoretical input on developmental aspects of containment and the relationship of containment to attachment: discussion, and experiential work using a variety of different containers, literal and metaphorical (including boxes, bags, drawing, stringwork, metaphor).
