“Practical Psychology”

Enrolment for this programme is closed: the description is kept for the record. Some programmes return in new intakes — write to us if the topic interests you.

Join us for a fascinating course, “Practical Psychology”!

The course sets out to give you a broad theoretical grounding in psychology and in how mental life works, and to establish and strengthen the link between your inner and outer reality. To strengthen awareness, build self-awareness and reinforce the position of the Self.

You can look forward to many engaging practical exercises aimed at self-knowledge and self-exploration, at reshaping the patterns of perception you already have and at creating a new vision of your own reality.

The course broadens your outlook and develops psychological flexibility, imagination and spontaneous self-expression.

I am quite often asked: why isn’t this taught in primary school?
What I mean, of course, is psychological preparation and the ability to understand your own inner world.
Although we are fairly open-minded about all kinds of information, psychology still sits a little “outside the frame” of the pursuits one can openly announce to the world.

You don’t have to look far for examples: we meet them in our practice every day!

  • “I spent a long time deciding whether to come to you or not. Going to a psychologist means admitting you can’t cope” (man, 28)
  • “I’d like to be the way I used to be: quick, cheerful, active, on top of everything. Help me get rid of this apathy and laziness. And help me get rid of the tears too!” (young woman, 24)
  • “Lately some kind of tension has settled inside me. I used to know what to do, and now nothing feels right. Help me get back to that state. And the one I’m in now — take it away!” (man, 29)

There are plenty of examples like these, and I will tactfully say nothing of the harder and more tangled situations we meet in our practice.
Many people very much want to move towards their goals cheerfully, skipping along, travelling light. This is exactly how many initial consultations begin for those who want to set off towards their dreams and reach their goals.
At the start, though, we take into account more than the joyful anticipation of bright images of the future. At the start we help a person assess realistically how much strength they have for what they want to achieve. Once you can assess reality objectively, it often becomes clear that there isn’t enough strength even for the first three steps.

  • Why aren’t goals being reached?
  • Why won’t the crocodile get caught and the coconut grow?
  • Why was everything good, easy and joyful, and now laziness and apathy roll in? It is good if there is still some anger left. Often even the anger is no longer on the surface.

Because besides outer aspirations there is a whole realm of inner ones. They are the fuel that can take you to the Moon and back, with a couple of relatives along for the journey.

Have you ever wondered what you really want to get rid of?
Your own savings?
Your own skills?
Your own resources, which you are not used to looking for, seeing and finding within yourself?

The “Practical Psychology” course gives you the basics of:

  • HOW to handle everyday tasks effectively
  • HOW to recognise what you truly want, rather than an illusion that will drain your strength and give nothing in return
  • HOW to become whole and start LIVING
  • HOW to leave the people around you in peace and take care of yourself and your own wishes
  • HOW to understand what I want

And psychology will tell you much more besides, helping you rely on yourself and adapt to an unpredictable world and to uncertainty.

If your life looks like a Monday in a hypermarket after “Black Friday”, with nothing left in your soul but empty shelves and scraps of wrapping paper.

Perhaps it is time to change yourself?

Tired of bending the world to your will?

We invite you to the “Practical Psychology” course, where over 12 months you will learn much of what school never teaches and discover a completely different world around you.

A world of wishes come true, of varied sensations and of your new hopes for this life!

  • The course starts on 27 January 2021!
  • Places are limited; to join the group, please pay in advance for the first month of classes.

Course leader: Anna Shyman.
