A Master class in Trauma Work This Master class in trauma work with Trauma Heart author Judy Crane, and Tom Pecca, focuses on strategies to help people break the Cycle of Trauma using effective, evidence-based strategies. It will be highly practical experience, enabling the opportunity for participants to practice in a simulated environment, exploring what is required of us and the roadblocks that get in the way of helping as a professional and carer. The most important thing is to mirror, model and witness and in that process, we can help to heal attachment disorder. This is a thorough and holistic experience based on dyadic attachment and experiential training. The vital components will include somatic work, therapeutic alliance and trauma brain, underpinned by the attachment trauma model and its connection to trauma work. Participants will be asked to look at attachment styles and how dyadic attachment and the relationship with the individual contributes to the healing process. This in-depth opening into the vigorous modules in trauma training will give participants a greater understanding of what trauma work truly looks and feels like. Master class participants are invited to attend the 2nd day - Body Mind and Spirit Recovery a practical and inspirational event giving additional support to developing insight and networks.

Body, Mind and Spirit Recovery Presents Sonny Hall & Mark Herman in Courageous Conversation

THE BLESSING INSIDE ADDICTION

20-year-old Burberry model and poet Sonny Hall opens up to creative producer and rehab consultant Mark Herman, who oversaw Sonny’s recovery from six years of drug and alcohol abuse. At 20 years old, Sonny Hall has modelling contracts in London, Milan and New York, has fronted a global Burberry campaign, has 119,000 Instagram followers and just published his first book of poetry. Yet just two years ago, his use of drugs and alcohol was so out of control that he barely remembers three years of his life. Concerned friends staged an intervention, and after five months in rehab in Thailand, Sonny has begun to build a stellar career and is today deeply committed both to the recovery that has rebooted his life, and to sharing his story with searing honesty to help others. Born into a household blighted by drugs, alcohol and violence, Sonny was adopted at the age of four, and although his new family was loving and stable, he never ceased to feel the overwhelming need to escape. He started smoking weed at 12 and quickly progressed to drink, opiates and benzodiazepines with which he would routinely start his day. The loss of his birth mother to a heroin overdose when he was 17 looked for a moment to be a wake-up call, but in the end only sent his use spiralling. In recovery himself since 1998, creative producer and rehab consultant Mark Herman was involved in the intervention that started Sonny’s treatment, and personally oversaw his early recovery, visiting him frequently in Thailand. ‘I’d always felt that I had this fire and drive in me,’ says Sonny, ‘but I could never connect with it. Like me, Mark’s adopted, and even though he’d come from a background of alcoholism and addiction too, I saw that he’d done well for himself. That helped me find the will to get clean, to do the best I can for myself.’ Mark has remained a guiding presence in Sonny’s life and career ever since. ‘Once you can understand and accept that you’re an addict, and learn to look after yourself,’ he says,’ you can start to learn how you can harness that character trait to your advantage. The creativity that Sonny’s recovery has unleashed in him is a perfect example. And now that at last we are waking up to the extent of the mental health challenges young people face, it’s so important to help those with addiction to find and pursue that potential in themselves.
