I was due to go through to Glasgow today for the fifth workshop in this seven seminar emotion-focused therapy (EFT) series. Sadly my back has been playing up ... as it occasionally does ... and it really doesn't make good sense to travel. The soreness is getting better nicely, but it can do with a bit more TLC as I gradually mobilise more.
Last Saturday was the fourth day of this seven seminar "Emotion-focused psychotherapy: Level 2 workshop series" that I'm going to at Glasgow's Jordanhill campus. I took my bike on the train from Edinburgh and then cycled along the canal and in past Gartnavel Hospital. There was a woodpecker chipping away high up in the trees as I arrived at Jordanhill. It was a lovely morning ... the weather showing its creativity with rapidly alternating rain, snow and sunshine ... but mainly sunshine.
"Those who do not have the power over the story that dominates their lives - the power to retell it, reexperience it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as times change - truly are powerless because they cannot think new thoughts" Salman Rushdie
So yesterday was a day seminar on Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) with Robert Elliott. I wrote yesterday about my excitement over starting this sequence of monthly workshops - there are another five due over January to May next year. Well how did the day go?
