Building Resilience After Abuse
How Psychological Abuse & Emotional Manipulation Impact Clients
Meet your Facilitator
Tyne Buchy, RCC-ACS, is the founder of Tyne Buchy Counselling Collective and a dedicated clinician, educator, and workshop facilitator. With over six years of experience in private practice and a background in community mental health with Moving Forward Family Services, Tyne brings both depth and practicality to her work with clients and clinicians alike. She is EMDR-trained and has extensive clinical experience supporting individuals navigating personality disorders, antisocial and psychopathy dynamics in relationships, as well as recovery from narcissistic and psychological abuse. Her work also includes supporting clients through the CVAP program, offering trauma-informed care to those impacted by crime and violence. Since 2020, Tyne has been actively teaching and facilitating workshops for clinicians across British Columbia. Teaching is a central passion in her work, and she has thoughtfully designed and curated each of her workshops to reflect the complexities of real-world clinical practice. Her approach to training is grounded, relational, and skills-focused—bridging theory with practical application to help clinicians feel more confident, clear, and effective in their work. Tyne is known for her warm, direct, and engaging style, creating learning environments that are both supportive and challenging. She is committed to fostering growth, critical thinking, and clinical integrity, with a focus on helping clinicians deepen their understanding of trauma, attachment, and complex relational dynamics.
In this workshop, we deepen the work of supporting clients who have experienced psychological and narcissistic abuse by focusing on building resilience and fostering lasting recovery. Clinicians will expand on their understanding of how this form of abuse impacts identity, attachment, and nervous system functioning, while developing practical, trauma-informed strategies to help clients rebuild trust in themselves, strengthen boundaries, and move toward meaningful, sustained healing.
This workshop is for therapeutic clinicians, working professionals in the healthcare or education faculties, and interns or practicum students.
This workshop will be facilitated over zoom and runs 9-4PM for each day. Each clinician will receive a workshop package upon registration.
