“Symptoms and procedurally oriented psychology in counselling”
This seminar makes us think about symptoms and what being healthy really means. During counselling two things become defined and clear: first one is our attitude, and second is our behaviour. Both of these things are important and should be born in mind. While working with symptomatic therapy it is important to talk about feelings and needs, start to believe and take responsibility. In this seminar people learn to recognize their symptoms and understand causes of them, as well as their origins.
