Consciousness can be defined as increased awareness. Simply put it is, “seeing a bigger picture.” The more you understand yourself, the easier it is to understand other. AN individual’s consciousness is the “x” factor in therapeutic encounters. The short course with lecture and case discussions is useful to all skill levels. Non-pathological understandings and co-created solution for anxiety, depression, and PTSD are included in case discussions.
