These include not only refugees but also those who have been marginalised in society as well as those who experience more relational and internal forms of loss of home.This therapeutic work he proposes, demands a new and radical approach with in-depth examination of epistemological traps that commonly skew conceptualisations of this type of work. The concept of trauma has been beneficial in throwing light on the suffering of many people. However, it has also contributed to the unprecedented proliferation of theories, methods, and techniques, leaving the practitioner uneasy as to where to turn for solid answers.

This workshop will revisit the basics of working with those who have been involuntarily dislocated by offering a sound and innovative epistemological framework. Renos will address how to support the processing of overwhelming experiences without pathologizing or minimising the negative consequences. The emphasis in this particular work is how to ‘be therapeutic’ as opposed to offering a traditional therapeutic approach. Renos’ work focuses on the integration of experience and moving towards adversity-activated development.
