The workshop will summarise the argument of the book - Different Bodies: that just as the problem with 'race' is whiteness, the problem with marginalisation in general is the concept of normality and its power to shape society.

The workshop is addressed to everyone who identifies as 'normal', or who has a part of them that does; its aim is to question that identity, to encourage you to move away from it and identify instead with your unique pattern of difference -- which is what we all have in common.

Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event

Learning to question assumptions about normality and difference, and to relate better to these issues as they appear in therapy.

To challenge and also help the person who self-defines as ‘normal’– be they talking therapist, body therapist, client or anyone else.

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

Psychotherapists, counsellors, and anyone else interested.
