Interpersonal Skills
School of Creative Kinesiology
Body Oriented Inter-personal Skills
We in CK have developed a new approach to Inter-Personal Skills. The reason for doing this is that our work is body-oriented and this course will take the body into account, by focussing on what the body is telling us. A lot of the work we do is centred on stress, extreme stress, trauma and shock that may become lodged in the body. Learning how to deal with this effectively is one of the main reasons for this rewrite of our Inter-Personal Skills training course.
The course includes the basic counselling skills needed by any therapist, how to witness and hold another person, support needed by clients during and between sessions as well as the values that must underlie any client work.
The aims of the course are to help the participants:
- Recognise what the body is saying – and witnessing this
- Understand and work with past events and ancestral inheritance, including trauma and shock that are held in the body
- Work with ways of releasing what is held in the body – in order to increase energy and wellbeing
- Support clients in this work as they delve deeply into their problems
- Ensure that basic counselling skills of listening and responding, reflecting and supporting, encouraging trust and understanding the importance of process are included.
- Come from an understanding of the stages of life and the ways we can use our Five Element work in our relationship with our clients
- Include basic values and support for clients
This 90 hour course is a core subject for a kinesiologist from any modality wanting to become a Registered Practitioner.
