Scope of practice varies widely across modalities—from Craniosacral Therapy to trauma therapy and psychotherapy—shaping not only how practitioners work but also what they feel comfortable addressing. Some clients seek urgent, solution-focused interventions; others are drawn to slower, client-led processes of unfolding and reflection.
In this discussion we'll explore key questions:
- When is it appropriate to be directive in therapy, and when should it be entirely client-led?
- Can therapists working with babies remain truly neutral, or are early imprints and survival patterns always present?
- How can we recognize when we’re unconsciously slipping into “rescuer” roles rooted in our own early experiences?
In this talk, psycho-spiritual psychotherapist Ian Rees will offer insights and practical tools to help practitioners remain aware, grounded, and open while supporting clients—especially those shaped by prenatal and perinatal themes.
