Description
Note: This course does not qualify the recipient to perform any form of therapy or counselling for any other person
This course will show you how to run several different workshops AND also give you many ideas to enable you to write a book - plus a step by step process. The course includes two books written by students on the course! The key to gaining from this course is DOING THE EXERCISES and PARTICIPATING IN THE Q/A.
The course has now been considerably expanded and contains FOUR very specific sections that can be used to run workshops as follows:
1. Workshop for teenagers
2. Workshop for Seniors

TWO recent reviews:
"I wanted to send my personal thanks to Chris Bankes Sivewright, for helping me step into my potential outside of fear and anxiety. Since I've started this course, I've started writing again, as well as started teaching workshops to a small group of over 600 people. I'm sincerely looking forward to continuing with your course, as well as future courses, and peeling back more layers of my own perception. With sincere thanks!"
