BRILLIANT AT THE BASICS:
ADVANCED CLINICAL SKILLS.
Presented by Kalanit Ben-Ari Ph.D and Mike Borash
To achieve the designation of an Advanced Imago Clinician, it is required that you participate in four Advance courses.
Brilliant at the Basics is a lively and interactive course of delving deeper into building our skills and deepening our processes of Dialogue. Stuck not using the Parent Child Dialogue (and all those other great processes?)… time to get unstuck! Our goal is that you leave this training with an expanded understanding of how and why to use different interventions at different times, and to support you in being creative within the structure of the dialogue process. We will sharpen your use of sentence stems and doubling to increase connection, safety, and forward movement with your couples. Together we will clarify and deepen the essential theory pieces that help keep you calm and connected to your couples…yes, all your couples! As you master the Imago ‘Basics’ we will now add the skills to become ‘Brilliant’ and trust the depth of the Dialogue process even more. Please Join Us!
Main Points:
-
Explore your beliefs about therapy and couples and their relationships.
-
Fine-tune the mandate for the therapy in the first session and for evaluating progress according to the stated desires of the couple.
-
Tools for deepening connection and "shallowing" affect are studied in more depth.
-
Increase your presence in your work with couples.
Learning Objectives:
-
Deepen the dialogue process through advanced use of sentence stems, doubling, and focusing.
-
Apply integration of the four “meta theories” of Imago with the deepening tools.
-
Utilise the Parent-Child Dialogue and BCR processes.
-
Observe how, when, and why to best use each of the Imago processes.
On a personal note, I want to share that I participated in Mike's addiction training many years ago. However, it was only two years ago, when we both presented at the Imago International Conference in South Korea, that I formed a more personal connection with Mike. His gentle soul and wisdom are truly captivating. Since then, I have been in discussions with him about the possibility of co-facilitating a course together in London. It is with great delight that this vision is coming to life this April! Do not miss this opportunity. Mike has actually already retired, so this might be your last chance to experience his brilliance.
