Mary and Bob Goulding developed Redecision Therapy, which combines elements of Transactional Analysis and Gestalt Therapy. Using positive strokes, encouragement, and bringing the past into the present, Goulding helps her clients change paths from decisions made at a young age. In this video, she helps her client Beverly act out pivotal childhood moments, return to her recently passed mother’s graveside for a final goodbye, and speak directly to her 12-year-old self, helping Beverly mourn losses and open new doors for the future. Hosts Jon Carlson and Diane Kjos introduce Goulding and facilitate an enlightening discussion on the approach.
In this course you’ll…
- Develop an understanding of the key components of Redecision Therapy, including focusing on what clients wants to change, and bringing past and future scenes into the present.
- Gain insight into Goulding’s therapy style: how she uses positive strokes instead of diagnosis, and challenges her clients to dive deep into emotionally difficult material.
- Learn how to apply Redecision Therapy and Transactional Analysis to your own therapeutic work with clients.
