Listen to the words of counsellors who use Emotional Logic: “I can get as far in one session with EL as in six of non-directional counselling.” “It rapidly gets to the level at which we can do some real work.” “I thought I knew Kübler-Ross, but this goes way beyond it.”
Emotional Logic provides a ‘third dimension’, card-sorting method for clients to see the emotional patterns behind their distress and confusion. It then links emotion to the logical process of adjusting to change. It affirms your client’s humanity, bringing their reason and emotion back together to improve decision-making.
We have shown that including the language of loss creatively in everyday conversations improves insight, empathy, emotional resilience and decision-making in the face of life’s problems. It gives you, as a counsellor, a humane, solution-focused context in which to use any appropriate therapeutic method with sustainable effect.
CBT addresses habits of thinking. Emotional Logic addresses the habits of emotional processing that underlie untrue self-beliefs and beliefs about the world. A one day ‘Core Level’ introductory course will enable you to start using Emotional Logic for your own life, and for change management at work. Distance Learning with a telephone mentor and further ‘Advanced Level’ training will enable you to use the method with clients as an Emotional Logic Practitioner, with an NQF Level 3 qualification. You may go on from there to train as a trainer in your organisation, and to use the method in supervision.
