THE TRAINING COURSE:
WHAT IS THE FOCUS OF THE TRAINING?
The Radix Training Programme is designed to give its trainees a very comprehensive education in the theory and practice of Radix body psychotherapy, the relationship of Radix to other somatic therapies and its place in clinical practice.
It requires trainees to develop their skills through three foci:
• The trainee's own ongoing experiential work. Sometimes this begins prior to or at the beginning of the formal programme, sometimes as the training commences. In either case it continues at least to the conclusion of training. The heart of Radix training is the emphasis on the personal experiential work of the trainee. It is important to the process of a client that the therapist has explored the depths of their own experience, and is able to surrender to, and to be supportive of, their own deepest primary processes. This provides a solid grounding for the encouragement and support of these developments in their clients and creates a firm base of self knowledge to underpin one’s work as a psychotherapist.
• The study and application of theoretical and conceptual concepts underlying Radix body psychotherapy. These concepts are experienced, discussed and integrated into a clinical understanding. Teaching methods include mp3’s and written reading materials, short seminars, experiential and training workshops, research and written assignments, group presentations, practical and written exams and supervision.
• Supervised clinical practice. Having completed at least two of the Modules each trainee is eligible to establish a small practice group with whom they work individually and in group and workshop settings under supervision. This enables the specific concepts, applications and interventions taught to be practised and supervised in depth. We call this supervised practice working with a Contract Group. Working with clients in such a group across twenty months is a requirement of Certification
• This is equivalent of a postgraduate level course. Participating in the course and successfully completing it requires a strong commitment to your personal and professional growth and development.
