Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy Training Programs Professional Development Personal Development Special events Clinical Evenings Research Support Professional Development Training Programs, Workshops and Seminars The Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST) training programs (Levels I, II and III) are for practicing counsellors and therapists who are presently working with clients.  The focus of the programs is on facilitating transformational change through Virginia Satir’s Growth Model.  The approach is applicable to working with individuals, couples and families.  Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy Model is unique in encompassing both the intrapsychic and interactive components of therapy.  Much therapy of the past has been focused only on clients’ behaviour, cognition or emotions.  This model is focused on bringing about change at the level of Being, as well as changes in doing, feeling and perceiving.  The process taps the universal yearnings of individuals within their personal family and social systems and helps them work towards a sense of responsible wholeness and peace.  The process requires that the therapist has a high level of therapeutic competence and congruence.  The program will provide hands-on skill development opportunities and participants will be required to work in triads between sessions practicing some aspects of the program.  Participants will also work with their own three generational family maps to increase personal learning opportunities in applying a systemic therapy model. The course leaders will utilize lecturettes, small group discussions, structured exercises, demonstrations, experiential learning and skill practice sessions as part of the program.   All training programs, conferences, workshops and seminars sponsored by Satir Institute of the Pacific are under the supervision of Dr. John Banmen R. Psych., RMFT, Director of Training For program information and general inquiries: Cindi Meuller at our Surrey, BC office.
