Working at the Edges: Birth of a Soldier

 " where personal pain meets collective upheaval, and where therapeutic presence becomes both an anchor and a catalyst for resilience."

 These are words written by our Academic Director Rachel Wood from our summary of the conference theme. Perhaps there is no starker meeting of the personal and the collective when a nation goes to war. War is a time when we meet the worse parts of humanity and perhaps on occasion the best. I am bringing an account that is personal as well as being representative of the collective. This is a description of how a supervisee and colleague of mine - a man who is a psychotherapist, supervisor and leader transitioned from being a psychotherapist, to being a solider.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my advanced diploma course at Poole. Throughout the process we were encouraged to develop our own philosophy of counselling. I valued this chance to develop my own autonomy around what counselling meant to me. The group was motivated, supportive and fun! We became very close. Our tutor was very knowledgeable, experienced, supportive and inspiring. My journey was challenging and rewarding, the ethos of Iron Mill felt right to me prior to my enrolment, and this feeling has continued throughout my journey. It was worth the extra miles of travel to a place where I felt really at home..."
