What our condensed training program can do for you.

Learn from the founder of Self-Connection Psychotherapy, and get his guidance on integrating this model with your own practice in three phases over 10 months. Trainees get the course, plus all resources available to Associate Members, and videos on more advanced topics.

How the Program Works

The Self-Connection Psychotherapy Condensed Training Program consists of three phases.

  • Phase 1 - Basic Concepts

    In Phase 1 (2 months) you begin to learn the basics and to understand the process. You learn how to use your own image as patients/clients learn to make use of theirs.

  • Phase 2 - Advanced Concepts and Skill Consolidation

    Phase 2 (6 months) is all about moving the bar. The structure of this phase focuses on the challenges that arise during the full course of therapy.

  • Phase 3 — Specialized Treatment Skills and Termination

    Phase 3 (2 months) solidifies the work of the first two phases. Termination follows work on self-supervision and mastery of the clinical work. The structure of this phase is determined by the needs and strengths of the participants, and stresses participant involvement in moving the body of knowledge forward.
