The Core Energetics Four Year Program

“In Core Energetics we teach students to become therapists in the ancient Greek meaning of the word therapeia; -- doing the work of God, or doing the work of the whole. Core Energetics gives us the tools and shows us how to use these tools to co-create our own destiny.”

~Pam Chubbuck, director of Core South

 

The Core Energetics Institute South training program is designed as a process in which knowledge is shared and learned through the exchange of information as well as through deep personal experience. As students progress through the four years, they will learn experientially about the four phases of the Core Energetic Process: Penetrating the Mask; Releasing and Transforming the Lower Self; Enhancing the Higher Self; and Uncovering the Life Plan.

Working with Concepts of the Mask, Lower Self, Higher Self

Core Energetics emphasizes a Core to Core connection between the practitioner and the seeker. Participants will explore, confront and transform their defensive patterns to their Core. This exploration will release the energy of their love and pleasure, connect them to their soul's truth and open them up to their unique gifts - the source and greatest resource of one's work as a therapist. It is from this inner reservoir that the Core to Core connection is made. Professionals from various backgrounds (including psychotherapy, the healing professions, and theater arts) come to the program because of the integrating and unifying aspects of all levels of perception- mind, body, spirit and emotions.  We offer two learning tracks to accommedate those who wish to study Core Energetics mainly for personal process.

The Curriculum

The First Year: Building a Foundation

This year will acquaint the student with the basic concepts of energy and consciousness and how they relate to life and the process of therapy. The emphasis is on learning about oneself in terms of life task, core qualities and characterology. The Character Defense systems are presented as keys to diagnose the personal struggles and development of each individual. Practice in looking, seeing and touching prepare the student for the techniques of energetic work. Beginning to look inward and learn not to blame others is a vital part of this year.

The Second Year: Techniques

The second year emphasizes practice as students learn basic Core Energetic techniques for working with the body, with consciousness and energy. Aspects of psychosomatic unity as detailed by Wilhelm Reich are taught as well as hands on techniques developed by Lowen, Pierrakos, and others. Physical interventions to release blocked emotions, breathing and visualization methods are demonstrated and experienced. Countertransference and transference are explored.

The Third Year: Integration
The third year integrates spiritual aspects of working with character defense systems and Core Energetic techniques. Utilizing the model of "mask," "lower self," and "higher self," trainees focus on penetrating the false self, transforming blocks, reaching the core and uncovering their personal universal life plans. The relationship of heart energy to spirituality, love and healing is explored and nurtured. Students may begin seeing people under supervision during the third year.

The Fourth Year: Strengthening One's Gifts

Specific topics using the Core Energetic Model such as transference and counter-transference, resistance, psychopathology and ethics are covered to help round out one's education. In addition, students are given many opportunities to work as Core Energetic therapists. Key stages of the work - penetrating the mask, releasing the lower self, expression of the higher self and developing the life plan - are emphasized. Students begin to develop their individual unique strengths as Core Energetic therapists.

Classes convene four times a year for five days, Thursday through Monday. The schedule is designed to meet the needs of the adult learner and those who travel from a distance. Each meeting begins with group process, which is a fundamental part of the program. Process group provides grounding in Core Energetic techniques, as well as an intimate environment to explore defenses. These sessions facilitate the learning experience and offer an excellent opportunity to resolve life issues. The module ends with devotion to integration of the Spiritual Self.

 

Additional Requirements: Students are required to have therapy with an approved Core Energetic Therapist bi monthly, over the course of the 4 years. In addition, students in their third and fourth years are required to have two supervision sessions per month, with an approved Core Energetic Supervisor. Half of those sessions must be individual and half may be in a group.  group supervision is offered by Core South. The cost for student's individual therapy and supervision will be additional and paid for by the student. A monthly process group on a weekend day assists students in continuing their process in between modules. There is an additioanl reasonable additional charge for these group sessions.

Prerequisite Anatomy and Physiology, and Orientation to Psychodynamics classes are extra and paid for by student.

Professional students in track I will have an additional year of supervision after class room learning is complete. During this 5th year, professional students will work with clients using Core Energetics and have, at minimum, an additional 20 hours of supervision.

 Students in the first and second years will be offered the opportunity to meet with their group for additional process each month when the class does not have a training module. In the third and fourth years students will be offered a supervision group. There is an additional fee for these classes.

Upon final faculty review, graduating students will receive a diploma in the Core Energetics Evolutionary Process. Professional students will complete a year of working with clients using Core Energetics, and supervision after completion of the 4 years of class room requirements. The minimum supervision requirement during the post graduate year is 20 hours.

CEU's & Graduate Studies

Two Learning Tracks

Pam with students in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

"Today most academic programs are turning out therapists who are not required to have a day of personal therapy. This is deeply concerning for me both for these individuals who are working at a deficit, and for their clients who need more than a theoretical approach. It is my pleasure to serve to bridge that gap." ~ Pam Chubbuck
