Music and Psychodynamics is back… for the last time! After this year we will say goodbye to M&P - so if you thought about coming last year but didn’t manage it, make sure you get your tickets booked. Weekly Tuesdays, 7-9pm online, 17th Sep - 22nd Oct. Secure your spot: https://lnkd.in/e5nik9FE

My whole team (including me) at North London Music Therapy are first or second generation immigrants. Most of the team have a second language; English isn’t everyone’s first language. It’s been hard not to fret the whole time the riots have been kicking off - but most of us are white passing so we have privilege too. Some of our loved ones have direct experience of the mindless racism we’ve seen over the last few days. NLMT is proudly anti racist, anti fascist and pro neurodiversity, accessibility and acceptance of all. We’re committed to improving our diversity to better serve the people we work with. What a relief to see the strength in numbers for the anti fascist turnout - especially in North Finchley, near to our North London clinic and where I lived for a long time. Hope everyone directly affected is keeping safe.

You asked us - we brought it back. So many music therapists are working with people who have experienced trauma - in all settings and from all backgrounds. We’re bringing back our popular training where we will cover: 💡 How trauma shows up in our workplaces 💡 How to spot trauma symptoms in those we’re working with 💡 How best to respond to people experiencing trauma 💡 How existing theories can help: Adverse Childhood Experiences, physical and neurological responses, developmental theory, psychoanalytic theory and cultural considerations relating to trauma and power dynamics within therapy Hosted by Priya Vithani and Marianne Rizkallah in a safe, confidential space on Zoom. This session will not be recorded so please book on if you can make it on the day. It’s a participatory session where you will be invited to ask questions and bring relevant clinical material, without having to delve into personal experiences. Tuesday 18 June, 19:00-21:00 on Zoom.

Thank you to the 50 delegates who came to our workshop yesterday! Self-care to combat burnout is so important and valuable and we loved sharing the techniques we’ve cultivated over time. We presented as a team, together, ably led by Priya (and Nicola via video link). It’s important to hear as many voices in the room as possible - to hear delegates’ reflections and thoughts was so valuable. We’re going to develop our workshop so we can share it more widely - watch this space! ❤️ Thanks and love to British Association for Music Therapy and the whole team for a wonderful #bamt2024
