Hello hello all! Have something I'm excited about to share ka....you say 'what else is new?' plao ka 5555!
Late last week, I attended a three-day training to learn about 'Satir Model', highly recommended by my two nieces ka. Let me put it into 4 categories ka:
1. What is Satir model? It's the methodology developed by Virginia Satir (founder and leading catalyst in the evolution of experiential family therapies). The model helps us learn about the relationship with our own selves, with others, and with the contexts around us. All mean to make us aware, understand, get over some of the issues to eventually make us happier ka.
2. Who led the workshop? By two experienced psychiatrists ka, one from Med school, Rama, and the other from med school, Chula who managed the sessions for 29 participants who were from diverse backgrounds, from medical doctors and pilates trainer to HR officers and a retiree like me ka.
My niece asked me if I was the oldest in the class. The answer was....good thing one ajarn was older kaaa!
3. What did I learn?
- What makes us happy is to realize our real needs which offer positive energy to our heart. We all deserve to be happier and it depends on our own decisions.
- We should learn to trace our feelings better, not focusing on thinking and reasoning only.
- Some issues and pains were deeply embedded in our childhood and it would be healthier to tackle the key ones with increased understanding to become happier.
- Looking back to my childhood and family relationships before I was 18 years old enabled me to see more details and how our family of 8 (Mom and Dad, and my 5 siblings) interacted with and among each other ka.
I consider myself much luckier than others. My real needs could include simplicity in life, good relationships, and social responsibility, I also learned more clearly why I love freedom and become quite creative. It was because of the upbringing with much fewer conditions ka.
4. One touching story
Even with lots of many touching stories shared, what is hanging on my mind is this one ka:
The more senior ajarn told us about her experience taking a cab back to the time when she was younger with only like 4,000+ baht salary. Then, she became restless as the old driver drove far too slowly for her to go back to Rama hospital well in time so she decided to talk with him. She learned then he had to drive again to earn a living for three grandkids after their parents were killed in an accident. He found it quite challenging when schools requested more money for extra classes.
Before she got off, she gave the cab driver an envelope with 3,000 baht, telling him to use the money when there were extra expenses. He reluctantly accepted it after Ajarn said she was a doctor and she could earn some more later.
Ajarn said if she couldn't think of any nice story during her last transition, this could be the one ka.
Besides feeling very touched, what she said at the end hit me hard ka.
What good story to my heart would I think of if I were in my transition?
I can't think of it yet and am still thinking ka!
Happy Wednesday na ka.
