Description:

The Generational Self approach emphasizes how the state of consciousness in which an experiential challenge is held determines whether a problem or solution develops. The model identifies three types of mind – Somatic, Cognitive, and Field,and how each mind can be operating at a Primitive, Ego, or Generative level. We will see how a problem degrades a person’sconsciousness level so that change is impossible, and how that low-level state can be improved to a Generative level, sothat the problematic experience either spontaneously changes, or is more easily engaged. Numerous practical techniques and clinical examples will be offered.

Educational Objectives:

1. To list three techniques for developing higher states of consciousness in a psychotherapy session.
2. To identify four ways to transform a problem or symptom by lifting it into a higher state of consciousness.
