SUMMARY:Kate Mikhailouskaya - Working with Childhood Memories
LOCATION:Upstairs at Gleebooks
DESCRIPTION:6pm for 6.30pm Tuesday 29th September\n\nKate Mikhailouskaya in
  conversation with Hugh Crago & Peter Blake\n\nAdvocating for the active e
 xploration of childhood memories and the natural avoidance that accompanie
 s them\, this book provides a clear entryway into complex and childhood tr
 auma work\, particularly in cases where tangled histories and overwhelming
  symptoms make it challenging for both counsellor and client to prioritize
  focus areas.\n\nChildhood history often serves as a record and a prelimin
 ary foundation for therapeutic work\, yet childhood memories rarely become
  substantial material for ongoing exploration. This leaves childhood "ghos
 ts" hidden\, unattended\, and unexplored—yet powerful drivers of psychol
 ogical symptoms that keep individuals stuck and make trauma difficult to t
 reat. To address this\, Mikhailouskaya offers a trauma counselling framewo
 rk built on two key pillars: working with early memories and actively enga
 ging with the avoidance that naturally arises around them. Filled with act
 ionable insights\, strategies\, and case examples\, the text provides a ro
 admap for addressing hard-to-reach trauma cases and resolving key therapeu
 tic dilemmas\, such as balancing client choice with therapeutic expertise 
 and navigating the tension between avoidance\, clinical judgment\, and the
  guidance needed to support recovery.\n\nDesigned to transcend any single 
 therapeutic approach\, this book is an engaging read  for psychotherapists
 \, counsellors\, and mental health practitioners seeking to enhance their 
 practice with a deeper understanding of the role memories and avoidance pl
 ay in trauma recovery.\n\n\nKate Mikhailouskaya is an existential psychoan
 alytic psychotherapist specializing in childhood and complex trauma. Drawi
 ng on her extensive experience working with refugees\, asylum seekers\, an
 d women in custody\, she offers focused support and practical tools for th
 ose suffering from post-traumatic stress and other maladaptive effects of 
 trauma. Alongside her clinical work\, she develops and leads professional 
 workshops for counsellors and psychotherapists and provides clinical super
 vision to practitioners supporting clients in trauma recovery\, offering g
 uidance and expertise in the complexities of childhood and complex trauma 
 counselling.\n\nHugh Crago - formerly Senior Lecturer in Counselling at WS
