The forerunner of the
I.C.S.T.R. (QLD)
P.S.H. Practitioner Training Program was first conducted in Sydney NSW, in 1990. Experience has clearly shown
that no particular academic, experiential or professional
background has proved necessary in determining a trainee's
eventual proficiency as a P.S.H. therapist.
A student's
attitude and
commitment is far more important in becoming a
successful P.S.H. therapist than ANY formal
credentials.
People from many walks of life have now successfully trained
as P.S.H. therapists. Past and current
students include people with no prior experience in any
professional capacity, through to nurses and midwives,
doctors, psychologists, hypnotherapists, occupational health
workers, counsellors, natural therapists and many others.
A growing number of therapists are embracing the
P.S.H. approach as they discover the results are so
often superior to their current or previous methods.
Due to its comprehensive structure, there are no formal
academic, professional or experiential skills required to
undertake the I.C.S.T.R. (QLD) P.S.H. Practitioner Training
Program. There are however, several prerequisites that
are mandatory. These include:
Prerequisites:
►
A genuine interest in helping
people to help themselves
This course is specifically designed for
people who have a genuine interest in becoming effective,
professional 'people helpers'. It is not a 'self help'
course and it is not for those with only a 'passing' or
'self interest'. It is explicitly designed as a 'vocational training program'. Our aim is to teach you what is
necessary to establish yourself in a new and rewarding career in a very
important and expanding area of health care.
►
A solid sense of personal
integrity and ethics
It is essential that students are 'well
centred', congenial individuals, with a natural
predisposition to high ethical and moral standards.
►
A willingness to complete an
intensive course of formal study
Successful completion of the program requires
a dedicated commitment. In addition to the time spent attending the four
training
modules, there are several written home assignments to complete and home (or clinic) practise to be carried out.
For those with a genuine keenness and interest, it is not an onerous task.
It does however, require a true drive to work hard and a
desire to
be good at what you do.
►
Adequate literacy skills &
academic ability to successfully complete the required
training program
There is a considerable amount of reading and
written work involved in the home assignments, theoretical
and written assessment sections of the program. The
equivalent of 'year 12' secondary educational level is
generally considered a minimum requirement.
Everyone is considered on a case by case basis and extra support and backup
is offered in cases where a genuinely keen student may otherwise struggle.
If you are drawn to this work and think the academic requirements may be beyond
you, you should speak with us. See our contact details
here.
►
An acceptance of the need for a
purity of therapeutic approach
We do not expect students to abandon other
modalities or methods they may currently utilise. However,
when P.S.H. is indicated and used correctly,
it is usually very important to use it on its own, in any
given therapeutic intervention. P.S.H. does
not lend itself to 'mixing & matching' with other
techniques.
►
A commitment to undertake post
graduate development
Graduates are encouraged to join the
Australasian Subconscious-mind Therapists' Association
(ASTA). Membership of the Association requires
continuing self-development and professional education, in
the form of workshops, seminars and appropriate external
education programs.
►
A genuine undertaking to complete
the program with the express intention of working
professionally as a Registered P.S.H. Therapist
Intending students should be prepared to give their
best efforts and have a genuine desire to attend and complete all training
modules and required course work. Although the school cannot force participants
to work professionally with P.S.H., the entire program is structured with this
goal in mind. Those who demonstrate a genuine initiative and enthusiasm,
receive all the support and assistance necessary to successfully complete the
program and become professional practitioners.
