INDIA - An Introduction to Provocative Therapy and Metaphors of Movement with Andrew T. Austin and Nick Kemp.
Saturday 15th January 2011 - Trivandrum, Kerala, IndiaIn this workshop, Andrew T. Austin, inspired by the work of Charles Faulkner, demonstrates how to overcome stuck states and create effective movement towards your personal goals.
Clients often arrive in therapy complaining of a lack of movement in their lives, both metaphorically and literally. Common expressions of how the person feels that reflects this lack of movement include:
- I feel stuck
- I don't feel like I am going anywhere
- I am stuck in a rut
- I feel like I am going around in circles
- I'm not making any progress at all
- I am not moving forward
- I feel like I am going backwards
There are many expressions that reflect a lack of movement in a person's life. In addition to this, many people lack direction:
- I don't know where I am going
- I don't know which way to turn next
- I feel lost
- I lack direction in life
- I feel disorientated
- I feel like I'm going the wrong way in life
- I don't know the right way forward
Instead of paying attention to these metaphors of movement and direction, all too often in therapy there is an excessive attention paid to the kinesthetic system and the emotions. As a result we often find a person who finds themselves unable to move forward until they have the right feeling in place.
It is often noticed that many martial arts and systems of physical movement are highly philosophical in nature, an example that is well known to many people is from Aikido, where an opponents movement is not blocked, but instead is redirected. In this Metaphors of Movement workshop, Austin demonstrates the relationship between the way a person moves their body and the way a person moves through their mind and through their life.
Nick Kemp will be introducting his Provocative Change Works model which draws both inspiration and strategies from the work of Frank Farrelly, Milton Erickson and Richard Bandler, among others to create a powerful set of tools for accelerated change. Provocative Change Works™ can therefore be "described" in terms of Provocative Therapy, NLP and Hypnosis, but is different to these specific individual disciplines.
Nick Kemp have found this combination of tools to produce the fastest, most successful and lasting results when working with clients. He used the Provocative Change Works™ approach in 2006 when appearing on BBC Radio for a 6 month series of live one hour programmes where he cured phobics live on the air using these tools.
Nick also uses this approach in his private practice and the approach is demonstrated extensively on the "Provocative Change Works™ for Phobias" DVD set, which shows him working with long standing phobics producing some really excellent results.
Frank Farrelly provides narration and commentary on these DVDs commented -
"You'll find his work on phobias using PT mixed with NLP and hypnosis quite a blend and Enlightening!!"
