Why reliving matters: Insight ahead of our CBT Skills Lab

We’re really looking forward to our upcoming CBT Skills Lab: Reliving workshop on 24 February 2026, and we wanted to share this meaningful reflection from Dr Kevin Meares, Consultant Clinical Psychologist:

‘I have been reflecting on the process of reliving as this training approaches, and I keep returning to something a client said to me many years ago. Their words have stayed with me and have become a guiding idea in the hard work of reliving traumatic memories.’

The client said – “I have tried not talking about it, and that hasn’t worked.”


In essence, they were telling me that they realized attempts to avoid, suppress, or ignore their memories had not helped their PTSD. Their experience has encouraged me to support others, especially when I question myself or the effectiveness of the treatment.’

If you or your colleagues work with people affected by trauma, this session offers practical CBT tools and guided learning in a supportive, skills‑based format.
