A Closer Look at our Innate Resources – new online course
Date posted: 20/01/2022
Every single one of us is born with essential physical and emotional needs and, if we are born healthy, the innate resources to help us fulfil them. The importance of meeting our emotional needs is now well understood - but making sure that our innate resources are developed and used well is just as integral to our mental health.
Based on live online training given during the pandemic last year, A closer look at our innate resources is a new self-paced, online course delivered by HG co-founder Ivan Tyrrell and HG Diploma tutor Carol Harper.
"A perfectly coordinated seminar, a ‘dance’ between psychotherapy geniuses Ivan Tyrrell and Carol Harper - I wouldn't have missed it for the world ..." (IAKOVOS FLASKIS)
Ivan and Carol draw upon their extensive experience to explore each of the resources that nature "gave" us - including our ability to develop complex long-term memory, our observing self, our ability to "know", our emotions and instincts and our dreaming brain. They share key insights into how these inner guidance systems work and what they do for us, which will deepen your psychological understanding - of yourself and others - and increase your ability to help people.
The course is suitable for all - no prior experience of human givens is necessary - and it is available to start today. You can find out more here.

They contain no sensory information. Such words used to be called 'reifications' in philosophy and are now more commonly called 'nominalisations'.
