The Cassandra Syndrome
12th November 2019 @ 5:45 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
The Cassandra Syndrome, or the Cassandra Phenomenon, refers to traumatic stress which affects people who are in a relationship with someone on the autism spectrum.
In November’s Open Research Forum Deborah Lawrence draws on her personal experience of relationships with people on the autism spectrum. She will explore the intimate and domestic aspect of these relationships can be supported through a distinctive approach from that usually adopted in the counselling of couples.
This topic will be of particular interest to couples, therapists and counsellors.

Deborah has been a therapist for 28 years. After her training at Vaughan College she has counselled full time in her own private practice. Much of her work comes from a mind and body connection using Kinesiology, but she also offers counselling and co-counselling from an emotional slant.
