                                    we share


                                    Dissociachotic is about coming to understand the dissociative na-
                                    ture of what is usually called psychosis and seeing how psychosis
                                    evaporates within the context of safe relational spaces.


                                    Matt Ball is a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, psychotherapist,
                                    trainer and Co-Director at the HUMANE Clinic. He is interested in

                                    distress  and  meaning.  Matt  was  awarded  the  2017  Australian

                                    Stephanie Mitchell - Compassion for “Borderline"

                                    Coming  from  a  place  of  compassion when  working  with  people

                                    often  labelled  with  “Borderline  Personality  Disorder”  should  be
                                    the basis of all clinical and non-clinical practice. Unfortunately in-

                                    dividuals with diagnosises of BPD are often some of the most ma-
                                    ligned  in  our  health  services.  In  this  workshop  we  consider  the

                                    attachment needs and legitimately adaptive behaviour of individ-
                                    uals who have often experienced complex trauma and significant

                                    attachment  disruption  in  early  life.  Participate  in  conversations

          around responsive and compassionate approaches to understanding and being alongside
          individuals experiencing deep distress.

          Stephanie Mitchell is a Co-Director of the HUMANE Clinic and a psychotherapist who spe-

          cializes  in  working  with  people  who  have  experienced  complex  trauma  and  labels  of
          'borderline personality disorder' and 'psychosis'. Stephanie has extensive experience fa-

          cilitating therapeutic groups and is interested in how healing occurs in the human to hu-
          man relationship.
