Introduction
The Primal Sympathy Training is a postgraduate CPD training for therapists and clinicians who wish to extend their therapeutic practice or deepen their understanding of pre- and perinatal psychology and therapy approaches. The training explores the most primal period of personality development, the first 18 months of life from conception to nine months or so after birth. Participants will explore their own early life experience within the context of relational skills from Core Process Psychotherapy and Buddhist self-psychology and contemplative practices.
The overall framework for the training is derived from the integrative work of Franklyn and Maura Sills, the Directors of the Institute. The training uses the pre- and perinatal paradigm developed by Dr. Frank Lake, one of the fathers of pre- and perinatal psychology, as an orienting structure. Input also draws upon the visionary work of Dr. William Emerson, another early pioneer in this territory, the object relations context of Ronald Fairbairn and Donald Winnicott and the related work of Daniel Stern. The training is experientially based and theory is offered in the context of inquiry, relational exercises and therapeutic explorations.
This training is open to accredited psychotherapists and complementary and orthodox health professionals. One 5,000-word essay is undertaken each year and is required for CPD credits and completion certificate.
