In the trainings I deliver I have frequently been asked “what is the link between rage and shame?” Participants and myself have intuitively known that there is a strong relationship between them both. As a consequence I have been inspired to research the issue and have developed a model that articulates the connection between the two, and also a deeper understanding of how the therapeutic relationship can address these commonly presented, often perplexing, issues.

In this online interview I discuss a practice example of how a client may oscillate between rage and shame, the impact that this had on me as a therapist and how I worked with it.

TA is a great tool that can be used in a range of ways, my experience is that TA therapists in particular often limit themselves to using their skills and knowledge within the therapy room, but there are many other areas we could apply what we know.

I talked about TA as a psycho-educational tool and shared some ways that we at The Link Centre facilitate learning TA concepts while inviting growth and development in our students. We mostly use these ideas when training therapists but they can be applied in many different settings.

Mary kindly agreed to spend an hour with us talking about her new book The Last Pair of Ears.

THE LAST PAIR OF EARS is a collection of poems and short stories about seeing and hearing what we aren’t supposed to notice; ‘lost stories’ that have been overlooked, suppressed, or forgotten.

There has been a blossoming of awareness of the Autistic Spectrum condition including Aspergers’ in the last decade. It is estimated that the condition affects about 1% of the population. It frequently creates difficulties with empathy, social interaction, two-way social communication, leading to anxiety, fear and depression. We estimate that 1 in 10 of individual counselling clients is affected (either personally, or through a close relationship) by Autistic Spectrum conditions. For couples counsellors we estimate that this figure climbs to 4 in 10 since it creates so many relationship difficulties.

As person-centred counsellors we continue to offer Rogers 6 conditions to clients on the spectrum but we frequently find ourselves working differently and the concept of ‘empathy’ has to be reviewed afresh and used with precision and accuracy.

In this discussion Steph talked about the importance of brain development, in the service of self regulation, and the impact of the lack of emotional attachment on the developing brain.

Is online supervision appropriate, effective or even ethical? As technology moves ever forward we find ourselves able to make contact with our counselling supervisors and supervisee’s via email, text messaging and even video conferencing. These mediums are obviously different from meeting in a face to face context and raises questions around the ethics and effectiveness of this kind of work.
