The
Personality Puzzle... Solved!
presented by Dr. Tina Thomas, on
Saturday May 19th
from 9-4pm
There’s no such thing as a
difficult person…
just people with difficult personalities to understand!
Would you like to... Communicate more effectively? Improve your relationships? Understand yourself and others better? Be more successful in business and life? Live your dreams more quickly and elegantly?
Understanding the Nine Basic Types of Personalities will make you powerfully successful in your interactions with others! Tina's "Biological Basis of Personality" theory is taught around the world, and has proven highly effective in enhancing the practice of health professionals! It is based upon how the varying combinations of serotonin, dopamine and epinephrine in the brain affect one's emotional, intellectual and energy levels.
"These neurotransmitters in each of us determine the Nine Basic Personality Types, which will predict much about an individual's behavior! This chemistry of personality affects us in every aspect of our lives, so come and learn how to influence that chemistry as well." - Dr. Tina Thomas
This innovative theory defines each of the nine basic personality types and empowers you to be in control of how to masterfully motivate others. Understanding the various factors that inspire each of the nine basic personality types will empower you to take more leadership in your own life, transforming you from a student of people to a master of motivation. In addition, this knowledge can create peace and compassion in any relationship or interaction you have ever had, now or in the future! This workshop will teach you how to recognize the Nine Distinct Personality Types in people, how to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each type, and how to easily connect with and motivate them.
Workshop is fun and open to the public! 6 CEUs have been pre-approved by the NASW. (Social Workers, mental health professionals and others who desire CEU's are especially invited.)
Cost of workshop: $95 (or $85 if registered by May 17th)

WHY WE PICK
THE MATES WE DO
....and What will Happen After We Marry and Become Parents?
presented by Phyllis Jenkins, the
weekend of June 9th and 10th, from 10-5pm
The "Ghost of Relationships Past" is
haunting our subconscious and wants to possess us. Many of us have found
ourselves helplessly enmeshed in negative relationships, all the while
praying for a miracle, "If only our partner would change!"
Learn how to
rewrite the secret
relationship code lurking deep inside of us! We have discovered the
unconscious mating map that attracts and bonds couples together -
but it's not always for the better, often it's for the worse. Your
Psychogenetics System TM
script determines the type and quality of your romantic relationship
bonding. And it will especially surface after significant events like marriage and parenthood.
This workshop begins with everyone
taking the Selection
Test from Anne Teachworth's hit book, "Why We Pick The Mates We Do"
This test will discover your subconscious agenda in the selection of a mate. This
short easy test reveals your "Inner Mate Model" and "Inner Adult Model" -
parts of your
Psychogenetics System TM.
The
Psychogenetics System TM
is particularly useful for pre-marital couple therapy since it provides
an unparalleled opportunity to predict and reinvent success or failure in a
potential relationship with your new partner.
Complete
your own Selection Test, then rewrite your own Inner Couple
and Inner Parent
re-imprinting script, and learn how to change your attraction and selection
patterns. Discover how to change your history of finding yourself
helplessly enmeshed in unsatisfying couple relationships.
"You'll love the homework
- which will be finding more compatible mates in your life!"

Our workshops combine Gestalt with The Psychogenetic System™ Model of Pre-Marital, Couple, Family & Parenting Coaching, Forgiveness, Self-acceptance, Self-esteem, Intimacy, NLP, Codependency, Addiction, Body Work, Dreamwork, Psychodrama, Grief, Meditation, and the popular Money Game workshop. All events are open to everyone for personal work and to counselors for personal work and/or professional training.
Each workshop teaches and demonstrates a particular modality that is compatible with Gestalt and offers the therapist the variety of approaches necessary to work with a variety of clients and issues. The general public can learn these same skills to use in their own relationships.
Gestalt Therapy is one of the humanistic psychologies that began in the 1940s. Developed by Fritz and Laura Perls, a psychiatrist and a psychologist from Germany, who founded the New York Institute for Gestalt Therapy. Fritz studied with Sigmund Freud. Gestalt is best described in Fritz’s books, EGO HUNGER AND AGRESSION, GESTALT THERAPY VERBATIM, and THE GESTALT APPROACH/EYEWITNESS TO THERAPY.
The approach helps clients understand their feelings, both physically with body language and emotionally and also their dreams. It is the therapy of choice in the addiction community since it gains direct access into the unconscious.
Transactional Analysis, or TA as is it often called, is the humanistic psychology approach developed by psychiatrist Eric Berne, MD, and described in his bestseller, GAMES PEOPLE PLAY. Transactional analysis therapists focus on identifying three basic EGO STATES - CHILD, ADULT and PARENT, which are similar to the psychoanalytic categories of ID, EGO and SUPEREGO.
Clients are encouraged to identify which of these three ego states are directing their interactional transactions, both intrapsychically and interactionally. Thomas Gordon’s book, I’M OK, YOU’RE OK also popularized the TA Model as did Claude Steiner’s, SCRIPTS PEOPLE LIVE BY.
Redecision Therapy is the combination of Gestalt and Transactional Analysis that was developed by psychiatrist, Bob Goulding, and his wife, Mary Goulding, a social worker, in the 1970s. The approach focuses on identifying early childhood decisions that are still operating unconsciously in the client and producing ineffective results in the client’s adult life now.
Clients are invited to role-play their early experiences and “re-decide,” thus updating their Individual Scripts.
The Psychogenetics System TM is a transgenerational approach to re-imprinting individual, couple and parenting scripts developed by Anne Teachworth and described in her book, WHY WE PICK THE MATES WE DO. Originally developed for working with couples, it is a combination of Gestalt, TA, Redecision and NLP.
Psychogenetics begins with a 10 question family-of-origin Psychogenetic Profile which quickly locates the hidden behavioral “landmines” introjected from their parents’ Inner Couple Imprint. Clients then role-play their parents’ interactions once "as it was" and then “once as they wanted their parents to be,” thereby imprinting a new corrective emotional experience into the their behavioral stress reactions.
Psychodrama was developed by Jacob Moreno, a student of Sigmund Freud. This group therapy approach requires the client to chose members of the group to re-enact a past and/or traumatic situation to give the client an opportunity to release long repressed or suppressed feelings to the stand-ins for other people in the client’s life then or now. The re-enactment allows the client to get closure by expressing withheld feeling or by creating an alternate ending.
Neurolinguistic Programming was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder after studying the interventions of Gestalt’s developer, Fritz Perls, and a family therapist, Virginia Satir. NLP, as it is often called, is the subjective study of a client’s internal mind/body/behavioral cues and responses.
Milton Erickson, MD, a psychiatrist and hypnotist, was also studied and his narrative and memory changing inductions have set the standard for therapeutic hypnosis. Over 100 books have been written about NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis since it’s introduction in the early 1970s with the first books on the subject, THE STRUCTURE OF MAGIC, VOLS. I AND II, and FROGS INTO PRINCES.
Yes, since they comprise the bulk of clinical approaches developed after Abraham Maslow introduced his ground-breaking work, THE HIERARCHY OF NEEDS, which identified the five levels of human needs: Survival, Security, Social Belonging, Self-Esteem, Self-Actualization, and their primary function in human emotional, mental and behavioral actions and interactions.
A combination of all three. Experiential and didactic in the workshops with written workshop, book and video/DVD reports for those who want the training hours or CEUs.
Workshops usually begin at 10am with a lunch break at 1pm and continue to 5pm. Two short breaks are included so that the CEU credit time is 6 hours each workshop.
