Training from Chrysalis Awakening

Workshop 1 – Relating (this workshop can be attended as a group of three or as a stand alone training)

Exploring imagery, metaphor, story-telling and kinaesthetic approaches that provide an extra opportunity for you to develop yourself and help clients make new associations, gain fresh perspectives and delve deeper into the heart of the matter.

What we'll be doing:

Exploring imagery, metaphor, story-telling and kinaesthetic approaches that provide an extra opportunity for you to develop yourself and help clients make new associations, gain fresh perspectives and delve deeper into the heart of the matter.  

We explore the nature of truth and our decisions to tell the truth, withhold information or lie and how this affects our behaviours, our relationship with ourselves and with others.  

Becoming aware of the choices we are making, all the time, to tell the truth, withhold information or tell a lie is, for most of us, an on-going challenge. And to complicate matters, we often feel 'right' in withholding or lying because we believe we are protecting someone's feelings or saving them some hurt. But withholds and lies are both a form of self-deception. This is why raising those choices from the unconscious to the conscious level, matters.

Do you always tell the truth? 

Is it ok to tell white lies?

Do you withhold information?

When do you lie and why?

What other choices do you have? 

Join us as we explore our individual approaches to truth, withholds and lies through creative techniques and the underlying behaviours that can result in self-deception, distortion, defensiveness and denial. 

These workshops are suitable for:

• Individuals wanting to know more about themselves - what makes you tick,  what your beliefs and values are, where they came from and explore if they are still serving you well. 
• Coaches, Counsellors or Therapists undergoing their training or fully qualified, who are wishing to explore how creative techniques unlock a deeper conversation with their clients.
• Mindfulness, Yoga, Pilates and teachers in other affiliated fields who are engaged with developing the whole person.

​For those of us in the coaching, counselling and therapy profession, they are a welcome addition to our tool-kit and one that Dr Pat Williams, co-founder of the ICF Core Competencies, calls an advanced skill, because, as he says  "it helps clients to get to the unconscious part without words getting in the way."
