Stop F*cking Nodding: Working with Gen Z Adolescents – Jeanine Connor

Jeanine will read two extracts from her book ‘Stop F*cking Nodding and other things 16 year olds say in therapy’. These readings will serve as prompts for our exploration of key themes in working with adolescents.

The first reading is from Chapter 4: In transition – which illustrates themes of gender identity, self-injury and the young person’s relationship with their body.

The second reading is from Chapter 5: W*nking – which illustrates themes of sexuality and sexual fetishes, and themes of identity including being a young black man and a child in care.

This workshop will contain swearing and themes of a sexual nature. Audience participation is greatly encouraged.
