Coming back, together is both the topic and intention of this experiential session. This session will bring together my teaching and practice of counselling to offer those working in higher education an exploration of how we might support ourselves in navigating these times both personally and in our work. We will explore insights from interpersonal neurobiology and a nervous system lens to build a conceptual map of these pathways of return, and then explore practices and ways of actually doing it, in the moment, when there is the possibility of moving towards ourselves and each other, so that something different might unfold.
