**PLEASE NOTE ALL FEAR MONSTER COURSES ARE CURRENTLY SUSPENDED WHILE THE WEBSITE / MY WAY OF WORKING IS BEING UPDATED- PLEASE KEEP REVIEWING THE PAGE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS**
I wish to teach you, The Fear Monster® concept when working with clients who present with anxious feelings.
-
Were you lead to believe that working with anxious clients was straightforward?
-
Do you spend time finding a reason that your client may be anxious?
-
Do you often find yourself and your client stuck and going round in circles?
-
Do you feel pressure to try to resolve the anxious symptom?
-
Do you feel a sense of responsibility for the fact your clients anxiety remains in the room and seems unresolvable?
Then, I believe that my Fear Monster® can help you to consider that there is so much more to anxious feelings than the symptom itself!
The course will follow the Fear Monster® story over his creation through what has a been a real life journey and will conclude to the present day. Together we will explore :
- How he first appeared and his initial impact on individuals who notice their Fear Monster.
- How he evolves and changes, he is not what he seems!
- How client’s and therapists can use him to guide the journey through anxious feelings
- My concept follows the story of a 20 year journey and those who feel the concept may be as simple as defeating your monster, would be mistaken. There is so much more to the Fear Monster® than this.
In addition we will apply his presence to practice and will will explore:
- How to introduce the Fear Monster® to your client work in a way in which seeks to empower your client and to show them that they CAN work with their anxieties
- To discover The Fear Monster® and to explore through his eyes the deeper layers of the client who presents with anxiety/panic feelings
- To explore how this method of working with the anxious client can support you within your practice. How you are able to connect on a deeper therapeutic level with your client and how you can enhance your existing therapeutic skills when working with anxiety presentations.
- To explore our own beliefs and responses to anxious feelings that may be present within the therapeutic space
I am a registered and accredited Therapist myself, who has personal experience of anxious and panic symptoms, and reversal of housebound Agoraphobia. Through my continuing work, and the process of my story, I wish to share with you this experience, and to show you how I learned to work with myself by creating and using my Fear Monster® during the twelve years that I suffered with acute anxious periods, and then most importantly how I noticed that this concept evolved as my own story evolved.
The course calls for you to work with intuition, insight and with reflection and to discover more and more layers to this journey. The Fear Monster® was created through a personal journey and this concept has many dimensions to it, as does anxiety and panic.
My courses will only be offered to only 6 professionals at a time. Small numbers enable me to interact more with delegates and enable a personal touch on the day. I wish for you to gain the most input and knowledge that you are able to within the time we spend together.
The course will count for 5 hours of continuous professional development. A pre course exercise and course manual will be sent out within the pre course week and an online certificate will be issued to Therapists who attend.
The course will enable you to apply The Fear Monster® techniques within your therapeutic work, with the knowledge of the concept and how it works.
“I gained so much from the mini course on Saturday. I spent a lot of time afterwards thinking about the work and how I can apply my knowledge now in the counselling room. Anxiety was definitely an area of weakness and yet now I can bring my skills into my client work. I have gained confidence and I feel the day was structured so well, thank you” (Attending Therapist)
” Michelle had a very relaxed and informal way of teaching which I felt appropriate and calming. I liked her mix of class discussion, theory and personal experiences. I felt everyone got to share and that we learned a lot as a group. I liked the small group interaction as it felt intimate and safe. I loved the course content, it felt personal and relevant and had a good mix of practical tools to help client’s and allowed me as the therapist to better understand anxiety and how debilitating it can be. I would rate the course a 9 out of 10. (Attending Therapist)
“The course content was good. It opened up a new concept of perceiving anxiety which I found relatable, and I can pass onto my clients. This course has helped me to understand some of my own behaviours surrounding anxiety and squash certain myths/conditions of worth. I respond well to visuals and giving ‘anxiety’ a body with a purpose was a revelation for me! I can’t wait to start using this concept on my clients” (Attending Therapist)
