Certificate in Gratitude Therapy
Gratitude is an emotion expressing appreciation for what you have - as opposed to a consumer-driven emphasis on what you want. The therapy is the act of thoughtfully reflecting on the aspects of life that bring great joy, causing feelings of gratefulness, rather than the insatiable longing of what’s just out of reach. By practicing awareness of the positive things in life, we fight off the brain’s natural tendency to scan for and spot the negatives.
That is why, here at Psyuni Institute of Psychology & Allied Sciences we not only believe that it is crucial to understand basic concepts and theoretical principles of gratitude therapy, but also learn and understand concrete applications and illustrations of the theoretical principles by field training. In the process of training, the students become more aware of every individual they will meet every day and learn practical implications of their theoretical knowledge.
An enjoyable and creative atmosphere facilitates the experiential learning among students. PIPAS focuses more on out-of-the-class room study. The core model of this course is integrative. The holistic approach of the course emphasizes the need for the integration of thinking, feeling and behaviour together with awareness of the social and cultural contexts of counselling and its implementation in response to ground situations. An emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and empowerment of the client are always seen as core to the process of therapeutic change and we encourage our students to develop their own style of counselling within the core integrative model being offered.
During the training period, students will have a rich learning experience as they will be taught by different tutors all of whom are qualified counsellors practicing in a variety of therapeutic approaches. The course is mostly experiential; taught in a creative, challenging, and interactive way throughout. The teaching team considers professional practice to be a key component of counselling training and to be the future success of all qualified counsellors. Emphasis is also placed on students assuming self-responsibility in their general approach to their learning experience and meeting coursework requirements.
