WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
Language is key to everything we do – being aware of the power of language to
help or do harm is essential when we’re trying to help people. 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.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
* The essential skills needed for successful brief therapy
* New information about the APET™ model – why it is so important to construct

innate needs are not being met and why (the essence of effective brief
therapy)

* Reflective listening and reflective reframing
* How to use therapeutic language skills directly and indirectly to initiate
