This workshop is a pragmatic look at how to gently, but quickly, understand how anxiety, depression and psychological trauma are created.

Therapist sculpting allows the therapist attune to the client’s experience; empathize with them; help the client to disengage from the problem; focus on what is important; and help the client discover new possibilities.

Dr Houston will offer a spectrum of ways designed to evoke new capacities in yourself and your clients in at least four areas: sensory and physical, psychological, myths and symbols, as well as spiritual.
