We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy.
Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.
Course overview:
This one day experiential workshop introduces you to the fundamentals of the Person-Centered/ Rogerian counselling framework and provides real skill training and practice. Through the use of structured, safe and supported exercises you will have the opportunity to learn and practice skills in attending, paraphrasing, empathic responding, questioning and summarising. Experience how and why these skills are foundational for all methods of counselling.
This workshop will provide valuable learning processes for mental health clinicians, case workers and other helping professionals who wish to enhance listening and communication skills.
