Please do not give any identifying information about the client.  Only identify by Case #1, #2 or #3.

Notes about consultation:  Each participant is required to present at least 1 case they have been working with between days 1-3 and days 4-6 of the training.  You will be meeting in small groups for consultation for a total of 10 hours in the 2nd 3 days of the training. It is very important that you fill this out for at least 1 and up to 3 cases.  

We will be inviting and demonstrating nonviolence and the use of our SAFE model practices for the consultation.  

Instructions for the group:  Each participant can present their case.  The group is invited to be mindful about the present moment experience as they hear the clinician present the case.  We are encouraging right brain, present moment experience more than problem solving and analyzing.  

1.  The person presents the case and the group is invited to notice in silence their present moment experience.  .  

2.  Everyone listening is invited to notice their right brain experience.  As the person is presenting the case what are you noticing?  Images, emotions, metaphors, movements?  The training coach shares what they noticed as they listened.    

3.  If time permits other members of the group may share their somatic response as the presenter listens silently.  

4.  The presenter reflects on the feedback given and asks clarifying questions.  What new awareness arises as you listen to the experiences and feedback of the group?

5.  What questions does the presenter have for the group or training coach?

6.  Presenter may say how they see the path moving forward with the client.  

7.  Expression of appreciation and gratitude for the group.
