Description:
The concept of the Life Script was one of Eric Berne’s most significant contributions to the fields of psychology and psychotherapy. No other theory contains as in-depth an insight into what is going on with people. Bringing into awareness an individual’s life script provides a tremendous tool for personal growth and change in their achievement of autonomy. Come learn how to help clients identify their life script and change it in order to live the type of life they desire. Participants will be taught how to use The Life Script Questionnaire, complete a Life Script Matrix, construct a Life Script Wheel and an Autonomy Wheel.
Opportunities will also be provided for practicing using these tools with a partner and doing psychotherapy to change one’s script under the direct supervision of the faculty.
