Course Title

Autogenic Therapy Training Course

Who is the course for?

Anyone who wants to change their attitudes and patterns of behaviour which increase rather than minimise, stress.
Anyone who wishes to increase their creativity, improve sports performance and/or facilitate personal growth and development.
The course is also for those who wish to train as Autogenic Therapists who must complete this basic course in the first instance before progressing to the Diploma in Autogenic Therapy – Level 1 (which is accredited by the British Autogenic Society).

Entry Requirements

  • The desire to join the course and to work toward the course outcomes.
  • At the start of the course participants will have a 1:1 assessment with Lynne Stevens, our fully qualified AT Therapist and Counsellor, to ensure the course meets their needs.

Course Description

Following an initial one-one personal assessment with Lynne Stevens you will learn Autogenic Therapy over 6-7 weeks. Sessions last approximately 1_ to 2 hours and are conducted in small supportive groups. No special clothing or equipment is required.
Over the 6-7 weeks the whole programme is built up week by week; you are trained to use the exercises by Lynne who guides you through the process of change. Each week’s exercise builds on the last and forms an integral part of the whole programme. Gradually you will be training yourself to tap into and trust your own innate healing capacity, to bring about improved physical and emotional health.
Between weekly classes, you’ll be asked to do two or three practice sessions each day. These simple exercises only take a few minutes, can be done anywhere, and help the mind and body focus on the process of switching to the relaxation response.

When does the course run?

The course starts in the autumn, spring and summer terms and runs for 5/6 weeks.
The next course will start at the end of October 2010, date tba.
