Description

Creating shared meaning with systemic theory Facilitators: Dr Sarah Helps & Dr Eloise Stark This workshop will use the practical systemic theory of Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) as a lens through which to explore working with neurodivergence among the people you supervise. We will focus upon two key CMM models: the LUUUUTT model and the Daisy model. The LUUUUTT model supports reflection about the complexity of our stories. It encourages us to not just see stories at face value, but to pose questions and think more deeply about the meaning behind and beyond the stories we tell. The Daisy Model works to increase our awareness of context by putting together all of the pieces that make up moments such as a single interaction or a conversation. While the centre of the daisy represents the moment, the petals of the daisy represent the factors that influence that centre, which can include previous conversations, our beliefs, sociocultural influences, and more. We aim to think with you with CMM models to reflect on neurodivergence in supervision, considering the “double-empathy problem” and how to foster “safe uncertainty” in a supervisory context where we think it can feel difficult to know how to discuss and support the intersection of an individual’s social GGRRAAACCEEESSS where there is neurodivergence. Sarah - I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Systemic Psychotherapist. Within the NHS, I am Chief Psychological Professions Officer for a large acute hospital in the north-east of England. In my academic work I contribute to systemic supervision, teaching and examining on DClinPsy programmes, and I contribute a systemic perspective to a Masters programme on consulting and leading in organisations. Clinically I’ve spent much of my clinical career working in assessment and intervention services for people who might be diagnosed as having an autism spectrum condition and their families. My research interests focus on how conversation happens, in researching from within clinical and organisational encounters and in exploring how a systemic approach can be used when working with systems. I am editor-in-chief of the Journal of Family Therapy Eloise - I am a final year Trainee Clinical Psychologist and a Research Fellow at the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing, Linacre College. Prior to clinical training, I completed a DPhil at the University of Oxford exploring the parent- infant relationship, using cognitive neuroscience to explore the human parental brain and our caregiving instincts as the basis for attachment, relational joy and connection. I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Section of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Oxford, exploring therapeutic adaptations for autistic people and how a more nuanced understanding of autistic cognition can support our understanding of neurodivergent distress, situated within the wider context of how neurominorities often experience societal marginalisation and stigma. I enjoy drawing upon my living experience as an autistic woman to enrich my professional work, and in advocating for understanding, acceptance, and social justice in relation to difference.
