If you are in two minds over whether to sign up for this workshop, you are experiencing ‘configurations of self.’
In the workshop we will focus on how to bring our client’s awareness to these internal conflicts. We will learn how to help them differentiate the different aspects of self. How to facilitate them in giving voice to these conflicted parts.
These may be relatively benign and superficial differences: “I want to apply for that new job, but I don’t want to risk being turned down”. However, they often harbour more fundamental splits in our experience of ourselves: “I’m deeply unhappy in my current job but it’s pointless trying to do anything about it because I am basically useless.”
We all have aspects of ourselves that we are not comfortable with, that we choose to minimise, ignore, deny and hide away. When we do this with a part of ourselves, we are denying it the chance to grow and develop along with the rest of our being.
