I’ve just got back from Bristol after taking SER2, my brain is fried but I feel fantastic!!
We had the wonderful Stan Gerome teaching us and from 10mins into day 1 he had us all feeling like one supportive unit, barriers down and ready to tackle our personal issues (and boy we had the lot between us!).
I came to the course having had some SER work done to start clearing my own personal struggles, so I could focus on being good little student and learn lots of new skills. Turns out I had it all wrong! A lot of this weekend is about working through your own ‘stuff’. We learn such a lot through doing that process, plus through helping each other. This is where it really starts to be about clearing through your history/baggage so you can work at your best for others. It certainly helped do that for me.
The course is also about understanding the principles and theories that John Upledger has drawn from in developing SER techniques. If you’re still struggling to take the plunge working with SER after SER1, SER2 is a definite must for you. The dialogue techniques you work with make the process and role of the therapist a lot simpler and really help take your ‘ego’ out of the equation. It also expands on the idea of communicating with a specific point in time, giving you tools to help a person work through and complete a biological process that was left in an unsatisfactory state, e.g. trauma during giving brith. This was one of the most magical and special treatments I have ever had the privilage to witness. Its potential to help individuals move on from a traumatic time in their life is incredible.
Of the Upledger core cirriculum courses I have taken so far, I think this has had the most profound and impacting effect on me. It really helped make me feel more confident in working with SER. I made huge steps personally and also know how I can continue to take responsibility for keeping my own processing going. If you are in two minds as to whether you want to move on from CST2 or SER1 then I hope this post may help confirm your decision to book on the next available course.
I for one am saving my pennies to get on Advanced 1 and keep the learning/clearing going!
