Teaching & Learning
Syllabus (subject to updates)
- Recognise and utilise the distinct cognitive and emotional processes that make up the structure of both your Client’s problems and their problem solving abilities.
- Work with your Client to develop their relationship to their past, to transform pain and harvest wisdom.
- Engage your Client in learning the specific life-skills that empower them to strategically address the current issues they face, whether these come from within or from environmental influences.
- Embrace the human self-balancing system of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forces that combine towards recovery as a natural process. Facilitate organically – by responding to your Client’s beliefs, values, resources and experiences that make their recovery path unique to them.
- Master dynamic linguistic skills that help to unlock the matrices of a problem and create new possibilities for change.
- Acknowledge and enhance the multi-level communication that occurs ‘consciously’ and ‘unconsciously’, within an individual and within all relationships, including the sensitive rapport that is the therapeutic alliance.
- Enable your Client to make use of their natural and cyclical states of changing awareness that supports different kinds of thinking, understanding and healing.
- Apply these processes to your own life and development, in a warm, active and creative environment, supporting the unique facilitator and human being that you are.
