Seminar & Workshop programs

When researchers in the UK decided to 'get back to basics' on understanding emotional health, they looked at what new insights the disciplines of neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, biology could offer. The search yielded amazing results - a series of 'givens' or bedrock truths that better explain what it means to be psychologically well, and what to do when things go wrong.
The three events listed here are designed to make the Human Givens ideas accessible to as many people as possible. The two-day Seminar/Workshop combination both introduces the HG ideas in detail and enables practitioners to apply them in specific therapeutic situations. We have found that attempting to apply the skills without understanding the concepts behind them is not successful. Storytelling for therapeutic change for example, takes on a whole new meaning when the function of the REM sleep phase and the role of metaphor (pre-thought; pre-language) is understood.
The ideas and strategies presented in this Seminar (Day 1) are for anyone with a personal and/or a professional interest in building and maintaining emotional well being. The Workshop (Day 2) provides practitioners useful skills based on the HG ideas to improve their professional effectiveness.
The Understanding Emotions Seminar is our response to community interest in emotional health in general. It takes the HG ideas and enables anyone to see where they can be applied in everyday situations - personal development, relationships, family, schooling, and generally building and maintaining emotional buoyancy.

Due to the applied nature of these workshops, participant numbers are limited.
