'Beyond Guilt' - an evening with Caroline Brazier

Spend an evening with psychotherapy trainer and author, Caroline Brazier, on her return visit to the N.E., where she lived for over 20 years. Her talk will be based on the subject matter of her latest book ‘Guilt, an Exploration’: ‘a journey into areas of life which both fascinate and repel us. Weaving together an account of a group of young people, fine grained analysis of the emotional and ethical basis of guilt, and illustrations draw from a variety of life circumstances, she examines the complexity of a subject which troubles many people in the modern world. She deals sensitively with some of the most challenging areas of human experience, while retaining a joy in life. At times both humorous and emotive, her book reveals the beauty of the everyday and the pathos of the ordinary.’
