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

Who is it aimed at

Psychotherapy trainees and TA Qualified Practitioners.

Workshop Outline

Since their conception in the 1960s the 3Ps have been well integrated into the TA community- much later however Tudor (2016) argues that these don’t need to stem from the therapist alone – but can be found rather within the relationship.

In this workshop we will explore what we mean by each of the three Ps, 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 3Ps.

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

Participants from this course should have a good understanding of the 3Ps, and how to use them in their work.

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