My first academic experience with Transactional Analysis started when attended my doctoral program in Italy, and I was introduced to Vann Joines’ work through his books. When I move to the United States, I told my husband “I have to meet the guy”. So I did. I started the Postgraduate Program back in 2016 and I am still currently enrolled.
This program has been a life changer from a professional and personal point of view. I embraced Transactional Analysis principles and the idea of “I’m OK and you’re OK” as a lifestyle. I decided to enhance my life using the Cooperative Contract at work and with my family, to attend workshops, training and personal work. The Training Program is a lifetime experience that I would recommend to every person that like me, is excited about life and, like Emily Keller said, has a desire to be “aggressively healthy”.
“Vann Joines is the therapist’s therapist … his depth of knowledge, skill and clinical experience has been invaluable to my growth as a therapist. The Certification Training in TA and Redecision is the foundation from which my clinical confidence has emerged … and success as a practitioner has blossomed. I honestly don’t know how I could do this work without Vann’s teaching and mentoring.”
The Postgraduate Training Program at SEI has been a valuable, rewarding experience for me both professionally and personally. I highly recommend the program to any psychiatric/mental health professional wanting to be more effective with clients.
I have been attending the training program and seminars at SEI for two years and as a result my personal and professional life have been enhanced tremendously. The transactional analysis and redecision therapy and have transformed my practice. I now regard myself as a competent, confident, and effective therapist. My client’s lives are transformed and they are healed by these modalities in a way that talk therapy had not afforded. Vann and Emily are a dynamic team and a joy to learn from as they bring their personal flavor and professional expertise to each training. I consider the SEI experience as a personal and professional vitamin B12 shot I need to refuel and equip for my life and practice.
“This training has tremendously enhanced my clinical skills and contributed to improved patient outcomes, and increased confidence for myself as a therapist. The group modality offers a safe and supportive environment for learning and practicing new skills as well as valuable clinical supervision of existing cases. I highly recommend this training to any psychotherapist who is looking for effective ways to acquire new skills and get peer support for ongoing practice.”
