California dreaming

Scritto da admin in Blog

While you are reading this, I am probably flying over the Atlantic on my way to San Francisco, where I am going to present the ABC model at the IASH (Institute for Advanced Studies of Health) World Health Conference. Squaw Peak

It is a great honor and I am proud to take my own model across the Atlantic, where many of the techniques that distinguish ABC were born.

I will also have a few days to visit Phoenix and the Milton Erickson Foundation, as well as Squaw Peak, the famous mountain where Milton often sent his patients to “reflect on their own life”.

From there we might move on towards adventures, maybe the magical town of Sedona to experience the famous Energy Vortexes, or maybe Mexico, we’ll see.

If you want to participate in this trip “virtually”, you can do so both here on the blog and on Facebook, which perhaps will be easier for me to update.

You just have to click on the “Like” button to keep in touch all the way and come with me, to discover new things. I will post photos and maybe some videos too.

I still have 50 minutes to take off: I think I am going to let myself be hypnotized a little bit more by the airport bookshop.

See you soon, in America! :-)

ABC week

Scritto da admin in Blog

Il Modello ABC

This is ABC week.

This is the day Ferruccio, one of our students from the Master in Counseling course, discussed his final thesis at the Faculty of Psychology in the University of Padua.

What’s amazing is that his thesis is an in-depth analysis of the ABC model, an approach designed to help people which I created several years ago and that has now reached thousands of people.

This is also the week I am going to take the ABC model across the ocean to speak about it at the World Health Conference in San Francisco.

Finally, I’m happy to mention that, and it happens to be this weekend, an ABC master course is taking place in Turin with our brand-new Trainer Sheyla Militello, one of only four trainers in Italy.

To celebrate this event, I think you’ll enjoy reading a comment a student of ours has just sent me:

“Hello Charlie,

On Saturday and Sunday I attended the Turin Master in Counseling with the Trainer Sheyla and the Observer Giovanni… they are both great, wonderful, professional people!!

With this email I want to compliment you on your method, the dedication and love you show in order to offer help and comfort to people facing difficult moments, so that they may find the best way out.

Thank you for your commitment to the diffusion of Counseling thanks to professional experts like the people I met this weekend, giving me the chance to feel emotions I have never felt before, letting me discover that sometimes it’s not true that we can’t cope… but only that we’d rather stay stuck in our discomfort, victims of something or somebody, but actually victims only of ourselves.

In this email I have taken the liberty of addressing you as a friend… it was instinctive … after these two days, I really feel like I know you personally!!!

Thanks again!!

Take care.”

Thank you and congratulations Sheyla.
I‘ll go pack my bags now, I’m off to the USA tomorrow!
