The practice of Voice Dialogue will also be introduced.

Detailed content
Transformational Chairwork is centered on the belief that there is a healing and transformative power in:
- Giving voice to one’s inner parts, modes, and selves; and
- Enacting or re-enacting scenes from the Past, the Present, or the Future
The Transformational Chairwork Course is designed to introduce therapists to the practice of Chairwork, in an active, creative, and clinically-useful manner using clinical story-telling, role-plays, and live demonstrations.
In 2018, we discovered the Four Dialogue Matrix – which is a crystallization of over 50 years of Chairwork practice and exploration by a wide range of integrative psychotherapists. This is now the foundation of the course.
The 12 Chairwork training modules are focused on:
- Polarities and Decision-Making;
- Grief and Loss;
- Giving Voice to Parts;
- Difficult Relationships;
- Three-Person Storytelling;
- Ambivalence and Complex Emotions;
- Schema Therapy and Cognitive Restructuring;
- Painful Experiences and Interpersonal Mistreatment;
- Inner Criticism and Self-Hatred;
- Self-Compassion
- Imagery Rescripting; and
- Self-Witnessing;
The Transformational Chairwork Psychotherapy Project is dedicated to bringing the power of Chairwork and the Four Dialogues to people who are members of historically oppressed and marginalized groups. A central part of this work involves our reaching out to BIPOC therapists and inviting them to train with us.
