Fundamentals and Techniques of Life Stress Reduction Workshop:

Prerequisite: None Time: (Standard) 4 Days

Life Stress Reduction Techniques and Case Planning Workshop:

Prerequisite: Traumatic Incident Reduction Workshop Time: (Standard) 3 - 4 Days

Life Stress Reduction (LSR), part of the larger subject of Applied Metapsychology, is a full program which makes use of a broad array of techniques. A Life Stress Reduction Program is tailored to meet the needs of a particular viewer (or client), utilizing a combination of the available techniques to approach the particular issues of life that the viewer experiences emotional pain, resistance, confusion, or other issues relating to or causing stress in their lives.

It also includes techniques that address past traumatic incidents in a less direct way than is done with TIR for individuals who are not ready to face their most traumatic experiences. The LSR workshops also includes many practical, effective techniques to prepare a client for TIR, and to relieve current life stresses which may or may not have resulted from past trauma.

Life Stress Reduction training is offered in two formats: The first, the Fundamentals and Techniques of Life Stress Reduction Workshop, requires no prerequisite training and is designed for those particularly interested in the techniques and skills of Life Stress Reduction (see Outline below for a list of the techniques covered), those who work primarily with life stress issues, or those working in personal growth or life coaching. This workshop includes training of the unique session protocol which is the foundation of all Applied Metapsychology work, and grounding in the basics of the subject.

The second, the Life Stress Reduction Techniques and Case Planning Workshop is designed for individuals who have already taken the Traumatic Incident Reduction Workshop and so are already familiar with the background and protocol of the subject, and simply wish to further their abilities by completing the training in Life Stress Reduction. Both workshops offer the same objectives and follow the same basic outline. Therefore a graduate of the Traumatic Incident Reduction Workshop can attend either workshop to complete the Life Stress Reduction training.

These workshops present a new paradigm of safety and effectiveness for helping others. The structured techniques taught in these workshops are easy to learn and to apply. At the same time, they are very efficient and powerful in helping viewers release emotional charge and resolve issues that may have challenged them for years.

Upon completing either of these workshops, a facilitator can expect to get good results applying what has been learned. These workshops also include skill-building exercises, an opportunity to give and receive supervised Life Stress Reduction sessions, and practice in developing customized case plans using the wide variety of techniques taught.

Objectives:

As demonstrated through examination and supervised activities, the student will be able to:

• Explain the theory and practice of Life Stress Reduction techniques
• Demonstrate ability to create case plans using the techniques taught in this workshop
• Demonstrate ability to use directive, repetitive techniques within a client centered context.
