Psychviews

Today is the 1st August 2022 and although its sometime since I started this Blogpage for a number of reasons  it's probably a good time to start using the page again.  A number of things have happened in my life, in the world etc since my earlier postings so catching up is likely to take some time. My life has changed, my extended family has grown, my wife's disability has increased which required a move to more manageable accommodation.  My own health has deteriorated, but is reasonably manageable (were both now in our late 70s). Our three children are now in their 5Os, our seven grandchildren range from 13 - 32 years, we also have two great granddaughters aged 5 and 11 years. I retired from my role as a NHS Adult Psychotherapist in 2011 having, and continued on a weekly basis to see a small number of clients privately until the first Covid 19 Lockdowns in 2020. (To be continued)

I had forgotten that this Blog  exists. I plan to make great use of it in the future and write about stuff that interests me and catches my eye/head/heart. There may be pieces that interest others and create the opportunity for discussion - and that would be perfect. At the present time I am interested in developing ways by which I  [and others] might use the sub-sets of a generic Positive Psychology model [PERMA] with clients in whatever context we work with those clients. I know that some people in the groups that I am involved with are already applying a PPsych approach to their work and are very willing to share their experiences. So enough for now - watch out for further developments.

Over the last 10 or so years I have had the pleasure of directing and facilitating more than 20 NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner trainings. The students attending have come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, what they have in common is a willingness to explore, an acceptance of "Not Knowing" as a temporary state and an unconditional excitement when they discover new learnings . My students continue to amaze me, encourage me, to [sometimes] scare me with their attitude, warmth and energy. I learn from each and every one of them allways .
