TA Deep Dive 4/10: Relationship Centered Permission Protection and Potency

Who is it aimed at

Psychotherapy trainees and TA Qualified Practitioners.

Workshop Outline

The 3 P’s as they are often referred to have been well integrated in the TA community since the early 70’s- much later however Tudor (2016) argues that these don’t need to stem from a one or one-and-a-half style of therapy – but can be found rather within the relationship.

In this workshop we will explore what we mean by each of the three P’s, what their function/purpose is within psychotherapy work, and how we can consider these as stemming from the relationship rather than from the therapist alone. Throughout this workshop we will be considering practical ways of working with the 3 P’s.

Aims

The aim of this training is to give an overview of the 3Ps and how to consider these as relationship centered. This is with the aim of supporting the participants to feel confident to use this in their work.

Learning Outcomes

The Participants from this course should feel confident in how to use these 3Ps effectively in a relationship centered way.
