WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Conflict isn’t always destructive. Properly handled it can be creative and productive, leading to better outcomes and possibilities for all. Although conflict is a normal, ever-present possibility in our lives – between family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, and in our interactions with organisations – when it  becomes entrenched it can cause immense individual distress, and waste time and money. Addressing interpersonal conflict using the psychological insights, concepts and proven techniques you will learn on the day, helps us to solve problems creatively and improve the health and wellbeing of those involved. To lead a healthy life we don’t need to avoid all conflict, but we do need to know how to approach it in ways which can help everyone involved meet their emotional needs, a win/win for all. Learning the human givens approach to conflict resolution helps to reduce the potential damaging consequences of destructive conflict and embrace the benefits of constructive conflict. Throughout the day, Rupinder will draw on her own considerable practical experience of successful conflict resolution and mediation in a wide range of settings as she provides expert guidance and training in the psychological insights and skills you need to be able to constructively resolve conflict between individuals and/or groups. > Addressing conflict in the right way helps us solve problems and improves the > health and wellbeing of everyone involved...

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 [https://www.humangivens.com/college/lift-depression/], addictions, self-harm, OCD and the rewind technique [https://www.humangivens.com/college/rewind-technique-training/] for treating trauma and phobias.

Stories and metaphor are a powerful way to stimulate hope and by-pass resistance – they can also enhance problem solving and creativity, beneficially impact the mind/body system and much more… -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Accredited CPD Certificate : 6 hours * Length 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Wonderful – inspiring, informative and empowering communication skills > masterclass > > JENI NELSON, PSYCHOTHERAPIST / HYPNOTHERAPIST WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Stories can be incredibly powerful therapeutic tools. They help bypass rigid views about life, enhancing the listener’s flexibility of thought. And by suspending ordinary constraints, they help people reclaim optimism whilst fueling their imaginations with the energy necessary to attain goals. In the physically ill, they can also stimulate the immune system and speed recovery. All successful psychotherapy and counselling involves storytelling and the use of pertinent metaphors, both of which tap into the natural way our brains work. We can’t know what goes on in another person’s mind but, if you perceive the ‘pattern’ of a story and understand that it could be useful to them at a specific point in their life, that is reason enough to tell it. Their unconscious, creative imagination will seek and find the ‘meaning’ relevant to their situation. No explanation, no direct statement of a story’s meaning can substitute for the way it acts on the hearer’s mind. Join us to discover more and learn how to source and tell such therapeutic tales yourself… > Gareth was fantastic, brought a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm as well as > stories to the course... > > PROJECT MANAGER > Wonderful practical skills - I was entranced the whole day... > > PSYCHIATRIST WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * How and why our brains work through ‘pattern-matching’ * How to use this profoundly useful tool for getting through to people stuck in the black-and-white thinking of emotional distress * A powerful way to stimulate optimism, hope and independence in distressed people * Increased ability to source and tell therapeutic stories yourself * Ways to enhance your own problem solving capacity, as well as being better able to help others with theirs * A new way to motivate and engage people * Insights into the mind/body communication system and how useful this tool can be for promoting healing and recovery * A great way to build rapport and bypass resistance * How to choose the appropriate stories and metaphors for different people, and when to use them * Practical ways in which therapists, teachers, GPs, managers, policy planners etc can apply this knowledge to their work * The ability to enhance flexibility of thought, creativity and confidence in your clients * How stories and metaphor can also help us diagnose where problems lie * A new love and deeper understanding of the value, resonances and resources within stories * Greater confidence in dealing with a wide range of people – and a solid understanding of, and practise in, the therapeutic precision of metaphor and more… > So informative and relevant to my everyday work.. > > SCHOOL COUNSELLOR    Pat Williams, creator of this course, talks you through its benefits -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PROGRAMME The ‘How to tell stories that heal’ course starts at 9.30am and runs until 4.00pm. * From 8.30am * Registration (Tea and coffee served until 9.25am) * 9.30am How and why stories help people * 11.00am Discussion over tea/coffee * 11.30am How to find the right story for each situation * 1.00pm Lunch (included) * 1.45pm How to use stories as therapy * 2.45pm Discussion over tea/coffee * 3.00pm How to tell stories well: the three simple rules * 4.00pm Day ends -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://directory.cpdstandards.com/providers/human-givens-college/ This course has been independently accredited by the internationally recognised CPD Standards Office for 6 hours of CPD training.
