This additional online training session gives us time to look in more depth at narcissism and what a relationship with a narcissist might look like In most cases, applying the skills and techniques learned in the Couples Therapy Online Masterclass [https://www.humangivens.com/college/couples-therapy-a-practical-masterclass-live-online-training/] is all that’s needed to help a couple move forward in their relationship. But sometimes additional knowledge is needed, as in the case of relationships where narcissism is a suspected factor, to help a therapist assess more quickly and meaningfully the relationship dynamic and specific challenges involved, thus allowing them to help the couple more effectively to find a constructive and compassionate way forward and out of their current difficulties. WHY TAKE THIS COURSE The term ‘narcissist’ is often bandied about and narcissism is frequently covered in the media – but is this language over-used or misused?  It’s great that awareness is being raised generally about narcissism and the impacts it can have on a relationship, but it’s important to be well informed. As a result of this increased awareness, more people are seeking information and answers to their own experiences, as well as about the causes of their own relationship difficulties and what they can do about them. As part of that process they may well seek some counselling or therapy so it’s important that, as therapists, our knowledge, skillset and stories are as up-to-date and relevant as possible to best serve our clients. If you already work with couples, in your private practice or employed role, and you want some more detailed insight into narcissism and how to spot it, as well as some of the additional relationship challenges it brings, this live online training is for you.. > Jennifer gave a very informative response to my specific request for > information relating to narcissism > > PAULINE, THERAPIST ATTENDING JENNIFER'S 'COUPLES THERAPY' COURSE WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * What is a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) – and what are the criteria for clinical diagnosis * What specific unkind or manipulative behaviours in relationships can be classed as narcissism – and when should we really not use that term * Why the reports of narcissistic emotional abuse in relationships are significantly on the increase – and how (or whether) this parallels family, relationship and societal changes * If it’s not narcissism, what else could be causing the dysfunctional relationship pattern?  * The truths and myths of the nature vs nurture debate in relation to NPD * How to spot narcissism when both partners are in your therapy room * How to spot NPD when only one partner is in your therapy room * Why it’s usually the co-dependant partner, rather than the one with narcissistic personality traits, that instigates therapy * How to support an abused partner to exit a narcissistic relationship – OR to remain in it if he/she won’t or can’t leave * How to identify which needs are not being met for one or both partners of a couple – and strategies to quickly change that * Tools and checklists to keep your clients emotionally and physically safe as you support a rise in their self-esteem, self-compassion and emotional needs being met more healthily * The common language (media and social media) for NPD-related behaviours * How to raise children (separately or together) when one parent has NPD – the critical Do’s and Don’ts * Additional resources to steer your clients towards – plus recommended reading for you as a therapist * And more… You will also have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and benefit from those asked by other people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who is this course suitable for? * Anyone who has previously attended our Couples masterclass 1-day workshop (live or in person). * Anyone working with couples, perhaps as a relationship counsellor or through couples therapy, who would like a better understanding of narcissism and NPD, and ideas for helping couples deal with the challenges these bring. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE This course is not a substitute for therapy.

If you want to be more effective in what you do, these are core skills to have…   Denise Winn previously taught this course, it is now delivered by Gareth Hughes 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. They are also fundamental skills to have when using guided imagery and visualisation [https://www.humangivens.com/college/guided-imagery-and-visualisation/]. This course is an essential component of Part 1 of the HG Diploma. > I feel very excited and energised.

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.
