Introduction to DBM Systemic Therapy and Consultancy |
|
Synopsis:
|
All of us are born knowing next to nothing, able to do very little for ourselves. In a short period of time each of us creates our own understanding, our model, of the world, and through this understanding we create effective ways to live in the world. Throughout our life we can greatly improve our effectiveness through education and training.
Sometimes the ways we develop personally are not effective and we benefit from assistance, advice and support through to coaching, counselling and therapy.
Therapists are no different. They also develop their own models with a similar range of effective and less effective behaviours and also benefit from education, training and support.
For the last twenty five years NLP has been one of the major resources for therapists to improve their effectiveness. NLP was created through the application of modelling to study the most effective therapists to identify what they did that was more effective than others. The result was a range of skills and techniques that others can use to improve their effectiveness.
The standardised therapy techniques in NLP do not match the richness, variation and creativity that is evident in the life problems people experience. NLP is not in itself a therapeutic methodology. It was never designed as one. It was designed to supplement other methodologies. Together these limitations create a major professional problem for those wanting to use NLP as their main approach to therapy.
In recent years modelling has been greatly extended and improved and these improvements, known as Developmental Behavioural Modelling (DBM®), have been applied not just with individual examples of effective therapy but to the process of therapy itself. The result is a holistic systemic modelling methodology for therapy.
The methodology integrates the best from science, clear thinking, precision, experimentation, testability, and verification, together with the best from art, creativity, intuition, and aesthetic and offers therapist further advances in their effectiveness. As part of a holistic approach the methodology includes a consultancy model that integrates the roles of advise, counselling and therapy with teaching, training, coaching and supervision.
A two year Systemic Therapy and Consultancy Diploma (prerequisite NLP Master Practitioner certification) has been taught and further developed and tested over the last ten years in England, Scotland, Denmark and Spain.
In this workshop you will learn key distinctions, skills and processes for effective therapy. This will include:
* How we all build our natural models of the world
* The different kinds of natural modelling: Mythical, Metaphoric, Magical, and Formal (scientific)
* Specific models for modelling and change
* How to model another persons model of the world
* Specific Language tools for effective information gathering
* How to direct the five senses for different tasks - the senses ‘able-to’
* How to identify specific patterns of behaviour, successful ways to do things - ‘sense-able ways’
* How to identify and select the most worthwhile things to change - the ‘sense-able choice’
* Different types and levels of change
* How to work differently with Difficulties, Problem, Limitations
* The difference in Coping, Solving and Learning interventions
* Conscious, unconscious and biological mind change
* To facilitate transitions in change: identifying transitions, partial completion and how to help make complete transitions
* A self management model for personal and professional development
* Specific learning processes and strategies
* How to evaluate therapy effectively
* To test the effectiveness of the skills directly through your own experience and that of other participants |
