WHO WE ARE

The Satir Centre of Australia for the Family is a private, professional clinic, which offers prompt, confidential help for a wide range of psychological, personal and emotional issues which frequently trouble otherwise well-adjusted people.

With many years of clinical experience, the Satir Centre’s psychologist and psychological medicine doctor are able to work separately or together to help individuals, couples, and families identify, clarify, and resolve a wide range of problems or issues.

Individuals or couples may call us directly; a referral is not necessary.  However, referrals by doctors and other health professionals are always welcomed.  New patients are seen promptly, and the therapist will work according to the specific needs of the individual, couple or family.  At the Satir Centre of Australia for the Family, you are always treated by one of the doctors, each of whom has more than thirty years of clinical experience.  You will never see an inexperienced junior or a trainee.

The Satir Centre of Australia for the Family believes that effective help results from empowering people to become their own decision-makers in life.  Accurate information, careful and thorough assessment, understandable explanations and experienced guidance form the basis of successful therapy.

SATIR ENRICHING PROGRAM

“Enriquecendo Seu Relacionamento Consigo Mesmo e com os Outros”

Programa desenvolvido por Sharon Loeschen, LCSW, baseado nos ensinamentos de Virginia Satir (1916-1988), foi mundialmente reconhecida, pioneira no campo do trabalho social e precursora das “Terapias Familiares”. Satir, promoveu a ideia de que a maneira de ajudar as pessoas é focar em seus potenciais e recursos internos, em vez de sua patologia e também foi uma das primeiras a enfatizar a importância que a autoestima desempenha no comportamento humano. 

Esta jornada começará com foco no recurso central para todos nós, que é o nosso Espírito único. Virginia Satir acreditava que as pessoas são milagres e que em seu centro havia um lugar de luz onde as pessoas sentiam seu valor, ou como ela chamava, seu “tesouro.” Ela viu como sua missão ajudar as pessoas a se reconectarem com esse lugar que abrigava seu “Espírito” e falou sobre isso desta maneira:

“A questão para mim nunca foi se (as pessoas) tinham espíritos, mas como eu poderia contatá-los… Era como se eu visse através da essência interior de cada ser, vendo a luz brilhante do espírito preso em um grosso cilindro preto de limitação e auto rejeição. Meu esforço era permitir que a pessoa visse o que eu via; então, juntos, poderíamos transformar o cilindro escuro em uma tela grande e iluminada e construir novas possibilidades” 

O objetivo em realizar este trabalho é o mesmo, ajudá-lo a ver sua “luz brilhante”, para lhe trazer orientação de maneiras de ajudá-lo a contornar o cilindro preto de limitação e auto rejeição. Uma maneira é nutrir conscientemente seu Espírito. 

Sharon Loeschen, LCSW, Psicoterapeuta há mais de 40 anos, teve o privilégio de ser aluna de Virginia Satir(1916-1988), da qual os ensinamentos à tocaram profundamente. Sharon, descreve Virginia Satir como uma “Presença Extraordinária”, e sente falta da energia que Virginia Satir trazia ao mundo. Sharon acredita que muito da sabedoria de Virginia Satir podem e devem ser compartilhados, e assim, Sharon, escreveu vários livros que trazem os ensinamentos de Virginia Satir, dentre eles o livro que inspirou este programa  “Enriching Your Relationship with Yourself and Others”.

Este é um programa psico educacional com foco na construção de suas forças e habilidades psicológicas. Tem como foco, enriquecer sua vida, ensinando a acessar seus recursos internos de forma mais profunda, tomando consciência sobre seu “Espírito Único”  – sua energia vital e, simultaneamente, explorando habilidades de; conscientização, aceitação, fazer escolhas e mudanças, exploração, ter coragem, entre outras. 

Algumas das premissas que alicerçam este trabalho são:

  • Você é um milagre e digno de amor.

  • Você é uma manifestação da força da vida e recebeu o dom de um Espírito interno.

  • A mudança é possível.

  • Você tem escolhas, especialmente em termos de responder aos eventos ao invés de reagir a eles.

  • Você pode se conectar com base em suas semelhanças e crescer com base em suas diferenças.

  • Com novas informações surgem novas possibilidades.

Com base nestas premissas, você terá a oportunidade de explorar, praticar e aplicar estas informações em sua vida e em seu trabalho. 

Você poderá poderá participar deste programa com foco em seu Desenvolvimento Pessoal, por meio de atendimentos individuais e/ou trabalhos em grupo, como também, havendo interesse em aprofundar seus conhecimentos nesta metodologia, você poderá participar da formação Satir Coaching & Mentoring Program.

Professional Development Training Programs, Workshops and Seminars
The Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST) training programs (Levels I, II and III) are for practicing counsellors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, family physicians, nurses, clergy, instructors of family studies and family therapy, child care workers and graduate students in the above fields 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:

Tricia Antoniuk, MSW, RSW Director of Training

Israel


SATIR INSTITUTE OF THE GALILEE

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION OF EXPRESSIVE ARTS

HISTORY:

         Dr. Nitza Broide-Miller has been training with Virginia Satir since 1976 in the USA. Her invariable dream was to bring the Satir Model to Israel.  Since Virginia’s teaching in Israel in the 60ththere were few attempts to teach the Satir Model in Israel. Such was Stephen Buckbee and Bunny Duhl’s visit to Israel in 1996.

However, it wasn’t until Dr. John Banmen graciously agreed to come to Israel and give us a headstart in 2006 that we marked the beginning of the formal training process of the Satir Model (STST) in Israel. The first group was trained by Dr. John Banmen and Dr. Nitza Broide-Miller, with additional contributions by Kathleen Maki- Banmen.

Since 2006 this initial group continued training with Dr. Nitza Broide-Miller; fulfilling the equivalent requirements of Level One & Two. The first group of 18 graduates celebrated the completion of STST training in 2011.

Since 2011 several enrichment programs have been conducted by Dr. Nitza Broide-Miller including: Using the Satir Model in couple therapy, the use of self in therapy, Satir’s internal parts, the change process, dealing with trauma- the essence of trauma and its treatment, issues of betrayal and other topics.

Graduates of the training, alongside trainees have been meeting regularly, studying and expanding their knowledge of the model. The groups practice in triads deepening their understanding and skills of the various roles within the triad, specifically the roles of the therapist & the supervisor. The goal was to become more CONFIDENT, COMPETENT & CONGRUENT using the Satir Model.

The MISSIONof the SATIR INSTITUTE OF THE GALILEEin the ISRAELIcontext:

      • To spread the good intention and the harmony between people.
      • To appreciate peoples’ resources & their ability to change and grow.
      • To become more tolerable & peaceful towards ourselves & towards others.
      • To promote peace within, peace between, and peace among.
      • To apply Satir’s beliefs to various organizations.

The PURPOSEof theSATIR INSTITUTE OF THE GALILEE

To teach and train therapists and trainers in the spirit of Virginia Satir (1916-1988). As one of the leading and most influential family therapists of our time, she created her unique humanistic, systemic approach to treating families and individuals.  Among other goals we aspire to:

      • To promote the humanistic elements of the Satir Model.
      • To learn to be more open & accepting of peoples’ differences.
      • To enrich each other within healthy relationships.

TARGET PARTICIPANTS:

Psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, couples & family counselors, child & school counselors and educators, expressive arts therapists. Most participants have had training in family therapy.
