Knowing how to use it well can make all the difference to a successful therapeutic outcome. Paying attention to the language we use is central to the human givens approach to therapy and counselling: our choice of words is crucial in building rapport with people, learning more about someone – their unique qualities and abilities – in listening and responding, in providing motivation and in collaborating to agree goals and strategies for the effective resolution of their problems. The careful use of language is essential for other areas of life too: at work, home, with family and friends – and this 2-day course is accessible to all. It can be taken as part of the Human Givens Diploma or as a stand-alone course. You will gain a solid foundation in the most effective brief solution-focused strategies and language skills that are essential if you want to be able to help people as quickly as possible. By distilling the essence of proven brief therapy approaches and working in tune with the givens of human nature, outcomes can be dramatically improved and suffering successfully reduced. You will also learn how any team of professional healthcare workers can safely incorporate brief therapy techniques into their work with patients suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, anger, OCD, eating disorders, addiction and relationship/marital/family problems, thereby improving outcomes and reducing suffering on an even wider scale. Good to know This course gives you essential skills that are used in the successful treatment of a wide range of conditions, such as anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, self-harm, OCD and the rewind technique for treating trauma and phobias. They are also fundamental skills to have when using guided imagery and visualisation. This course is an essential component of Part 1 of the HG Diploma. I feel very excited and energised. I can't wait to start using these techniques...OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST What will you learn The essential skills needed for successful brief therapy New information about the APET™ model – why it is so important to construct therapy that is in tune with our how brains work (our emotional reactions come first) – this speeds up therapy and explains why purely cognitive and behavioural approaches can take so long An ability to get to the root of the matter quickly by establishing which innate needs are not being met and why (the essence of effective brief therapy) Quick rapport building skills How to use the RIGAAR™ structure to improve therapy outcomes Reflective listening and reflective reframing How to use therapeutic language skills directly and indirectly to initiate change Ways to use solution-focused questioning to create a framework for change How to identify and use your client’s own life resources An understanding of why the human givens approach dramatically increases the likelihood of therapy being brief, regardless of the presenting problem A range of psychological interventions to use with common psychiatric problems: anxiety, panic attacks, depression, intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties and so on Promoting cooperation by developing realistic and achievable goals How to identify exceptions (when the problem doesn’t occur) and get the patient to take credit for them How to generate motivation for change in your patients Separating the patient’s core identity from their problem How to minimise or overcome resistance How not to be drawn in to a client’s negative self-view Great use of case histories to illustrate the skills covered How to use the psychological laws of positive expectancy and concentrated attention An understanding of why taking this collaborative human givens stance, reduces stress and pressure on you Plenty of opportunity to consolidate what you are learning by practising the skills yourself How is the course structured?
