MODULE ONE - Emotional Assertiveness Core Seminar - 3 DAYS

 

“In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.”
― Charles Darwin

This module will facilitate you identifying, differentiating, and understanding your emotions. It clarifies the difference between healthy authentic expressions of emotion and the destructive and harmful expression of cover-up emotions.

You will develop means to express your authentic emotions in healthy ways to facilitate your management of conflict and the development of deeper relationships.

During the seminar you will have time together with your colleagues to explore the application of emotional intelligence in practice.

    MODULE TWO - Emotional Assertiveness: Creating a place of safety - 3 DAYS

     

    “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.”
    – Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806 – 1861

    Emotions are integral to relationships and human relationships vary in intensity depending upon the depth of love we experience in each connection.

    How we manage our emotions depends upon how Emotionally Assertive we are, i.e. how well we manage our emotional interactions towards others.

    In this module we will review love in all its forms, we will heighten our awareness of the forms of love we give and take and clarify where we place our boundaries.

    We will also review Assertive Behaviour in general and develop some skills in expressing ourselves in win win ways to achieve
    healthy respectful relationship.

    As a trainer it is imperative that we can model the behaviours we are training; we need to “walk the talk.”
    • What’s love got to do with it?
    • The seven ancient words for love
    • Our levels of comfort and confidence in expressing, giving, and receiving love
    • Assertiveness Skills: six skills and one important
      value.
    • Where emotions fit in
    • Preparation for next session on emotions in working
      groups
    • There will be room to discuss, test out and practically
      experiment with the theory and practice of Emotional
      Assertiveness

      MODULE THREE - Emotional Assertiveness: Creating a place of safety - 3 DAYS

       

      “…feelings can’t be ignored, no matter how
      unjust or ungrateful they seem.”
      ― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

      Emotional issues have their origin in our childhood. The goal of this module is to understand the origin of unhelpful cycles and to replace those cycles with healthy behaviours.

      This module will facilitate your development of skills for creating a place of safety where your clients will be enabled to experiment with their authentic emotions.

      This module will allow the trainer, coach or therapist to select and make appropriate interactions with their clients, trainees, and everyday relationships.
      • Basic child development theory, defense mechanisms drawn from KJ Kaplan TILT model (Teaching Individuals to Live Together)
      • Relational approach and withdrawal behaviours
      • TILT compared with E Berne theory of Group
      • Imago and B Tuckman, Group Development Theory
      • Group Dynamics in Families, Teams, and all human endeavor.
      • Where emotions fit in
      • There will be room to discuss, test out and practically experiment with the theory and practice of Emotional Assertiveness

        MODULE FOUR - Autonomy: Awareness, spontaneity and the capacity for Intimacy - 3 DAYS

         

        “Feel, he told himself, feel, feel, feel. Even if what you feel is pain, only let yourself feel.”
        P.D. James, The Children of Men

        Self-awareness and Relationship-awareness are two of the four cornerstones of Emotional Assertiveness. The other two are, Self-management and Interpersonal-relationship-management, i.e. the social aspect of E.A.

        In this module we will pull together the elements of Emotional Assertiveness and you will be invited to explore your own
        personal limits.

        This will help you model managing emotional connectivity through the expression of healthy emotions within the context of your training groups.

         

        It is an exploration of self in the context of emotions and closeness, to facilitate you being congruent with your feelings and their expression.

        This will also help you to develop yourself as a ‘tool’ to authentically express self in interpersonal relationships.

        During the seminar we will share some safe experiments to become increasingly in touch with our “real self”, discover our learned vulnerability and practice taking the risk to feel vulnerable whilst being open with others. This applies in both one to one and within groups. This is an exercise in deepening our
        autonomy.

        Autonomy in this context is defined as Awareness, Spontaneity, and the capacity for Intimacy. (Intimacy: the ability to meet others in our uncensored self: to be real with each other.)

        We will conclude with the certification process.
