The Wisdom in How We Cope with Stress
With Anastacia Lundholm
In this two-session workshop we learn to identify the different ways we react under stressful circumstances. Our coping is a resource that has helped us survive, but it can often get in the way of healthy relationships with ourselves or with others.
Increased awareness of coping can lead to better self-care and less reactivity. We will explore the challenges and the strengths of each coping pattern, and what happens when different coping styles collide.
Understanding the inner experience of each style of coping can support new perceptions of self and others in stressful situations. This can give us new choices for ourselves and new possibilities in relationship with others.
This program is for social work students, counseling students and interns, coaches, parents, business team members, managers and supervisors, members of boards and committees in any setting.

Applications of Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST)
SIP’s Applications of STST program is for advanced Satir Model practitioners. While most Satir Model practice has been at the process level, advanced practitioners need to incorporate the deeper levels of meaning and energy in their work. We will focus on how to bring about change at these levels with our therapeutic clients.
This program will look at aspects of therapy where clients are working with impacts of depression, anxiety, pain, attachment and Use of Self. We can understand and work with individuals beyond the D.S.M. (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of APA), looking at working successfully with the root causes instead of symptoms.
Let’s go back to the roots of the Satir Model and explore what is now possible with all the increased understanding of the healing process.
This program will also look at how the Satir Model has changed, evolved, and developed over time, as well as looking at what has been added from other schools and authorities to mix with the Satir Model.
We will have 12 days, “becoming more fully human” and deepening our therapeutic work with clients.
