- Short Description:
- BT12 Short Course 10 – Emotional Super Strengths: Transform Emotion, Transform the Person – Linda Duncan, EdD This workshop focuses on four categories of emotion—fear, anger, sadness, and joy, and illustrates their potential negative impacts. Problems arise when we respond to the impacts ineffectively—typically through some form of avoidance—instead of discovering our potential to transform the emotion. The key to transformation lies in responding with the emotional super strength hidden within each emotion. With anger the strength is self-mastery; with fear/ personal power; with sadness/ acceptance; with joy/ gratefulness. The workshop concludes with the Emotional Plan for Daily Living—a set of four principles that help integrate their super strengths into an overall approach to life.

- Short Description:
- It is the purpose of this short course to introduce and apply the concepts of both Narrative Therapy (NT) and Solution Focus Brief Therapy (SFBT) simultaneously in a therapeutic setting. The use of imagery and symbolism take the “storied” nature of problems and link them to the tapestry of all stories that a client brings into therapy. The Miracle Question looks at the “preferred view” of the problem and differentiates the singular vista of the problem against the preferred view of the client that has the vistas of the tapestry. EARS is used to give the client control over the preferred view of the problem.

We keep insight out of sight and focus on behavioral shifts and updates of beliefs. Unconscious process is a major contributor to lasting solutions and the ability to use hypnotic linguistic patterns of “temporary” (in reference to the present state) and “permanent” (in reference to the solution leading to the desired state) is an essential element of the model. Practice will be provided with demonstrations and casework elicited from the group.

In a therapy group with sexually abused survivors it is a useful tool in the tradition of Ericksonian therapy. Since sensory body work and improvisational theater elements are excellent tools to absorb the patients’ attention in an equally structured and playful way, they become actors and creators of their new body experience. This is an experiential workshop.

A brief therapeutic process will be described that dovetails into whatever therapy you practice to positively affect the Interplay.
