While a bit repetative, I think there is value in hearing key concepts and interventions to promote integration of the person centered approach. I do caution the promotion of practioner using 'art and music therapy' when they are not certified to offer this particular therapeutic modalities. Language like this can be misleading both to learners in this course and to the future indiviudals and families that they interact with. Rather, encouraging the use and integration of art and music (ie. art as therapeutic vs. Art Therapy) as helpful. should be used. This differentiation will minimize the 'scope of practice creep' that both diminishes the educational credentials of professional and registered Expressive Therapists and will minimize potential and unintentional harm that could come from engaging in art therapy processing.
I did the entire class, but sometimes, i felt like information was missing. You have exercices to do, but not enough informations to complete them and no exemples to copy or adapt. When you do the exams, some questions are hard to answer since the information was not completely in the text book. As a former teacher, that was a problem for me. You should always test what is learned.
There was plenty of great content in here and the case study which followed through each module helped you look at it from a real life client perspective. That said I would have like to see different scripts for different scenarios.
For those considering taking this course, it is all reading, or listening to the verbatim text. There is no modelling graphics or animations or videos. Some of the templates are helpful but in most cases I had better ones of my own.
Finally I was intrigued that there is quite some intense visualisation and even hypnotherapy. This did concern me and certainly something I would not be engaging in with my clients without supervised training
I believe having some tutorial videos might help support learning and understanding for people taking this course and lighten up the load of all the reading.
In my opinion too much technicalities, too little practical applications. If I wanted an introduction to Neurosciences i could have just bought a book knowing that there are 26 synapses sizes helps me be a better coach how exactly ?
I found some parts very interesting. But other parts were lacking. I was expecting to learn more about circadian rhythms and the biology behind sleep and was left somewhat disappointed with the current content.
Some of the information wasn't as solid. It would have been nice if some of the remedies had resources or origin sources. For example, Common Folk Remedy, Country Origin of Remedy, or study showing the efficacy of remedy. The certificate doesn't seem worth much otherwise.
I enjoyed the information but I would have loved videos to go along with the modules to see some of the ideas in action. It would have made it more engaging as a learning and more memorable.
The content was comprehensive. A boring voice-over and the steps are very specific. It felt like I could simple answer the questions by cutting and pasting from the course. The final exam is multiple choice but does not give a score or pass rate.
This course provided many helpful insights and examples. However, I found a lot of its content seemed to be repetitive and redundant. It was hard to focus on it.
I thought this was a good course, but I think, particularly in the early stages certain terminology should be explained clearly. Same with example questions, they ask things you might not have much knowledge (or any) on yet. The example answers are helpful, but the course could use more time explaining things instead of just in bullet points most of the time. The case studies were very helpful and insights about studies done. I didn't like the robotic AI recording so I opted to not use it at all. Videos of this would be good too with an actual teacher. I kept feeling that a lot of this course was generated not fully by a human as it felt rushed, with a lot of repetition in some modules.
