2 Chair work

Book before the 22nd June for an early bird discount. This will not be recorded and has limited space. Suitable for all interested in experiential chair work.

About the webinar

Chair work enables us to explore the parts of the self that have been hidden, denied or suppressed as a creative adjustment. Linked to historical field conditions at a formative age.

Those who seek therapy or counselling desire change, and chair work (linked to our core emotions) supports the development of confidence and self-esteem. This webinar will shine a light on the process and offer a framework to support your clients.

Also, this webinar will help you track where you are within a client's process whilst exploring (moving back and forth with an end goal in mind - completion). Meeting more of the client’s unconscious needs and unfinished business within a client’s psyche (their fixed gestalts and limiting beliefs).

This will NOT be recorded.

An experiential webinar where people can volunteer to do a piece of work for themselves or present a client’s case (which may or may not expand into two, three or four-chair work). It is an experiment after all. The experiments will be influenced by the material that the volunteer wishes to work with and would be especially suited to those who have experienced two-chair work before, but it's not necessary.

Suitable for all interested and especially Gestalt practitioners/trainees.

Feedback

I thought it was one of the best short learning events I have attended in the past year. I liked the way you stayed focused on the subject, framing it with the four emotions. I found the concept of two chair work without two chairs immensely helpful. I have tried two chair work occasionally, with some success I think, but using two chairs felt awkward. I can now use the concept without that awkwardness, and online, and I believe that will make it easier for the client to get into it. I also particularly liked the advice to listen not only to what the client is saying, but also to what is missing from what they are saying. I think I do that anyway, but being reminded of its importance with that simply phrase was very helpful.

So, a really valuable event and I shall certainly use learning from it in my client work. I shall see you again at future events.

P.D. from May 2024.
