Why is it so hard to be understood by each other?
You would think nothing would be easier than communicating. After all, we've been doing it since we were small children. Yet if you spend any time with a group, you'll notice that miscommunication can seem more common than true understanding. Is there a way out of this trap? Yes, there is. We can train people to be better communicators. Learning to listen well is as important as speaking well.
The aim of the Basic Communications Skills Training is to give participants a basic understanding of counselling and the skills required. At the completion the course, participant’s listening and responding skills will become more effective and their interpersonal communications and interpersonal relationships will improve.
Participants will also be able to demonstrate these basic skills and become aware of their own behaviours and prejudices. They will have gained an understanding of the 3 core concepts – Respect, Empathy, and Genuineness of Carl Roger’s Person Centred Therapy.
