Incorporating Chair work into your practice can be a powerful tool to facilitate clients and give you a useful option to apply in a range of situations. This technique can be used to help with issues such as;
- silencing the inner critic voice
- processing grief and loss
- role-playing difficult conversations
- addressing inner conflicts and decision-making and other things
In my own training as a Psychotherapist, a large part of what I was taught was based on Chair work. I remember mine and my colleagues initial hesitance at using this and also questions around how it would help our clients.
As we practiced with each other we were flabbergasted at the impact and were soon applying it in our practice. Our clients were able to process complicated emotions, repair relationships that were put on ice for too long, remove fear and shame from their lives and discover and freely express feelings that were suppressed for too long.
Over the years this has become and important part of my work and why I fundamentally believed in the power of Chair work and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with you in this upcoming workshop!
You will get handouts for all the dialogues we will demonstrate as well as explanation in the workshops.
This workshop will be fun and interactive as well as give an opportunity to learn an excellent tool for therapy and counselling, a tool which you can use for couples therapy, fears, grief, decisions making, coping mechanisms and various internal and external dialogues.
