The theme of the conference has emerged from the feedback of those of you have attended our last two events. Trust, Love and Betrayal are at the core of the experience of childhood trauma and ultimately the relationships which can offer safety, hope and resolution. Each of the speakers will share their most up to date ideas and thinking about trauma using this centralising stock of ideas.It is terrific value for money to see so many of the world’s leading thinkers and practitioners all in the one place.
