I met yesterday with Dr. Marina Ajducović of the Social Work Department at the University of Zagreb, and she was very helpful in directing me towards people and resources that will be helpful in planning my project.
After our meeting, she invited me to accompany her to the clinic where she sees clients. I was able to meet one of her clients and sit in for about 15 minutes of the session. Dr. Ajduković allowed me to ask her client some questions about her experience of recovery from domestic violence and the surrounding complications of child custody, etc. It was very informative and I felt incredibly lucky to have had this chance to hear directly from a woman about her experiences.
Dr. Ajduković also told me about a conference that is happening in Croatia while I will be here that is so ridiculously in line with my clinical and research interests that I am reeling from the synchronicity.
The Eurpoean Concerence on Traumatic Stress (10th annual) will be held from June 6-10 and I am making plans to attend. This involves basically inverting my whole trip, since I had planned to be literally at the other end of Croatia from the conference site during that time, but it is worth playing tetrus with the schedule because of the opportunity for networking, professional development, and the unbelievable beauty of the region where it wil be held. YAY!
