Course Description:
Our resourcing series is about reconnecting with our Essential resources that are beyond our conditioned mind and ego defenses. These are fundamental human virtues that are the basic structure of the True Self such as love, compassion, courage, wisdom, joy, presence, innocence and others. In this course we will reconnect with the Essential qualities of will and presence and how we can implement them in our own healing and in working with clients.
Course Goal:
The aim of the course is to teach the students about the White Essence how to recognize the psychological issues related to the lack of this quality or due to the fact that we got cut off from it. We also teach how to work with resourcing clients with this core quality.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this course the students will be able to:
1. Explore the White Essence through inquiry, mirroring and feedback
2. Apply interventions and exercises which foster sensing the presence and/or absence of Essential Will
3. List the childhood stages in which the White essence is of central developmental importance
4. Identify the psychological issues which indicate conflict, compensation or blockage of the Essential Will
5. Recommend ways to become aware of inner critic attacks, to disengage from reactivity and toxic negative self-talk
6. Counsel clients that lacked support in childhood to internalize and develop a sense of inner support
Education Method: Lecture/Theory, Exercise, Meditation, Group therapy process, Practice, Inquiry and feedback
