“You are behaving like a three-year-old.”“You’re acting like a stroppy teenager!”
“I’ve never seen you like this.”
Often, we know that we’re behaving inappropriately but can’t seem to help ourselves. Or we surprise others by our apparently out-of-character behaviour. There are many selves inside each one of us and it can be a revelation to know which part of us has taken centre stage in any situation.
Thirty-five years ago, I found a way of using Russian Dolls creatively in the therapeutic process. In this workshop, I will tell you how my approach came into being, how I developed it and how I’ve worked with the model since. Used in conjunction with ego state circles, the subject of a companion workshop, you will learn how to introduce them to the client, how to identify the age of each Doll, what each one “carries,” and their key statements of emotional state. This can lead to conversations between you and each Doll so that each one at last, is heard.
It is advisable that you bring your own set of Russian Dolls to the workshop with you.
Who this workshop is aimed at
