Level 1 training description
Satir’s Transformational Systemic Therapy Training Program is for practicing counselors, therapists, and graduate students who are currently working with clients. Satir’s Therapy Model is unique in encompassing both the intrapsychic and interactive components of therapy. Much therapy of the past has been focused only on clients’ behaving, beliefs or feelings. This model is focused on bringing about change at the level of being, as well as changes in doing, feelings and perceiving. The process taps the universal yearnings of individuals within their personal family and social systems and helps them work towards a sense of responsible wholeness. This work requires that the therapist develop a high level therapeutic competence and congruence.
The focus will be on the Satir Model and learning to bring about transformational change with individuals and couples. The training will focus on experiential learning including demonstrations, hands-on practice, and triad work.
The program will provide some hands-on skill development opportunities and participants will be required to work in triads between sessions, practicing some aspects of the program. Participants will also work with their own three generational family-of-origin maps to increase personal learning opportunities in applying a systemic therapy model.
Virginia Satir, founder of the Satir Model, believed that therapy is an intense experience with the inner self. The counselor/therapist helps and encourages the client not only to accept and deal with the pain and problems but also accept and live an inner joy and peace of mind.
