Introduction STST

SIP offers a 3-hour online or in-person introductory workshop on Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST).  This workshop can fulfill any interests or curiosity of STST without committing to a full 10-day program.

Here, you will receive a taste of transformational experiential learning and an opportunity to increase internal peace, empowerment, and integration.

You can experience the possibilities of increased connection and acceptance in relationships with SELF, others and context.  Join us for these three hours of learning and a chance to begin a practice of authentic and meaningful self-growth.

Application of Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy

(Prerequisite STST Level 1 and Training Director’s Approval)

8-day residential intensive training program

Applications of STST program is for Satir Model practitioners to deepen how they can bring about change with clients when focusing on specific areas of practice.

This program will look at aspects of therapy where clients are working with impacts of depression, anxiety, pain, attachment and Use of Self.  We can understand and work with individuals beyond the D.S.M. (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of APA), looking at working successfully with the root causes instead of symptoms.

Using STST Applications we go back to the roots of the Satir Model and explore what is now possible with all the increased understanding of the healing process.

This program will also look at how the Satir Model has changed, evolved, and developed over time, as well as looking at what has been added from other schools and authorities to mix with the Satir Model.

We will have eight days including evening trio work, “becoming more fully human,” and deepening our therapeutic work with clients.
