Yes.

No. Online live and recorded webinar trainings are open to anyone.

Why are the live onsite and online trainings limited to 27-36 participants?

These trainings are smaller to create a more intimate learning experience. It can be challenging to experience and learn process-oriented therapy, so we establish an interactive group, with personal feedback and discussion. The practicum sessions give a rich environment to experiment with new ways of working. Processing the practicums helps participants to integrate what they are learning, as observers, clients, and therapists.
