Last time I tried to reach Bristol, a certain volcano made it impossible. 🌋
Maybe there is a chance this year? 😅

Conference banner with a picture on the left and some text on the right.

The picture shows on the right hand side a hill with houses along streets winding up, some trees, and a mooring area and water in the front. In the background, tall bridge connects the hill to the other side of the water on the left hand side of the picture. (Probably Bristol, as this is where the conference is)

The text on the right announces that the 7th Joint UK SPR and EU-SPR (Society for Psychotherapy Research) Conference will take place 2nd to 5th of September at the University of the West of England in Bristol, UK.

The conference theme is "Putting Psychotherapy Practice at the Heart of Research: Amplifying the Clients' Voices.

The client is the expert on their lived experience. Your textbook knowledge is secondary. Approach every interaction with genuine cultural humility and a willingness to learn. Listen first. 👂

A core lesson in social work: you must meet the client where they are, not where you want them to be. Drop your expectations about readiness for change. Progress starts with radical acceptance of the current reality. 🌱
