Counselling as a Space of Freedom in Relationship
Transactional analysis counselling gives people and groups space to pause, a space of freedom to perceive, to recognize and to acknowledge inner and outer movements. Counselling helps people shape their identity according to their history and contexts, their past, present and future.
This task of recognizing oneself, understanding and appreciating tensions with internal and external contexts, and then realigning oneself as a person and strengthening autonomy and homonomy – is the central task of counselling and a daily challenge in a postmodern world.
In this sense, counselling is also political.
In the lecture and exercise, this understanding of counselling will be presented, tried out and discussed.
