Recertification Hub: CT Coach Cert.

Step 1: Enroll in the “Core Transformation: Beyond the Script” course

This course will make it easy for you to absorb some important distinctions that the best CT Coaches use to make their sessions more effective.

Some “CT Expert Coach” skills are easiest to learn by watching examples. So we’ve created this course to give you these examples quickly. Just viewing these examples will hone your skills, and the distinctions you can make. You’ll recognize some of our role-played clients in your future clients–and perhaps sometimes in yourself–and you’ll know what to do.

We encourage you to begin reviewing this course soon, in a relaxed way, so you’ll have more time to absorb the different client examples in the videos. Just watch as much as is easy and comfortable for you, this way you can absorb the learnings in a comfortable way.

Step 2: Watch these Modules of “Beyond the Script:”

Optional: Watch the first 7.5 min. video “Memorizing the CT Script.” (It’s under the heading “START HERE: Preparing for Module 1”).

Starting in 2021, our participants in the CTCC were required to make a video of themselves saying the script out loud from memory, blindfolded, for the first 2 phases. For you, for recertification, this is recommended, but optional. The benefit of doing this includes being able to remain true to the script while looking at the client. (If you choose to do this, and then compare your “blindfold video” with the script, you may be surprised to discover some ways that you’ve changed the script when doing it from memory.) Because this is optional, we didn’t include this in the 6-12 hour time estimate for completing the recertification.

Required: Watch the following videos before your skills roleplay:

• Module 1: Finding a Starting Place (1 hour of client examples in 1 video)
• Module 2: Working with More that One Part—One at a Time (Watch all client example videos, 30 minutes total)
• Module 4: Eliciting the Core State—How to Recognize When to Switch to Step 9 (Watch all client example videos, 30 minutes total)

There’s a lot here! We think you’ll gain the learnings from these video modules most easily if you “just watch and listen” the first time through. Consider relaxing and inviting your entire being to absorb the learnings, without you needing to grasp anything with your conscious mind at first.

You might experience many of these examples and demonstrations as reminders of what your being already “knows.” Instead of just thinking about these learnings in a mental way, consider checking with your own experience. Does each point resonate with your own experience–what you already “know” inside on some level?

Step 3: Watch this Skills Roleplay Example (and read accompanying handout): 

Watch this Skills Role-Play Video Demonstration of what the skills role-play will look like.

Here is the accompanying handout: Highlights from Skills Role-Play Video Demonstration

The handout pulls out the important skills we are looking for when you do your skills role-play. This handout is a good resource to build on the experience you already have.

In the Skills Role-play Video Demonstration: I (Tamara) created this new demo with Stephanie, where I am the guide and she is the client. This is so that you have a clean example of the skills we’re wanting you to have, through doing the skills role-play. (Of course, for each of your individual role-plays, your skills role-play mentor will be offering feedback to you. That’s a valuable part of the learning process–and, having a clean example is also useful for knowing what foundational skills we want to see demonstrated.)

In the video demonstration:

• Stephanie is role-playing a different client persona than the one you’ll be guiding when you do your role-play.
• This video demonstrates our new standard framing at the beginning of the demo, (standard framing for someone who already understands the basic concepts, such as ‘what is the unconscious,’ etc.) The standard framing you’ll be using is slightly different than in the video demo, because your framing is written for a generic new client, rather than a Wider Community client in the CTCC course. But again, it’s easy because for your skills role-play you can just read it if you want.
• At the end of the demo, I demonstrate delivering additional framing, for clients that don’t have as much background with CT. (These optional choices are additional “forks in the road,” so that we can adapt to what the client already knows and what they don’t.)

Note: Remember that when you do your role-play, the client persona you’ll be guiding will be a different “character” with a different presenting problem from the video demonstration above. However we’ll be looking for you to demonstrate the same skills that are demonstrated in the video above.

Additional Note: We have recently created an additional handout, “If There’s a Concern About the Process,” that we think can make the skills role-play even easier. This clarifies an area that most people have had some difficulty with. In fact, it could be useful to print out this additional handout to have handy for your skills role-play.

Step 4: Schedule Skills Role-Play:

Please contact Rory at [email protected] between now and October 30 to schedule your role-play for sometime before December 15, 2023. (If you have significant time/schedule constraints, please let Rory know ASAP so we can work with you as best we can.)

Your skills role-play will be done with a trained Mentor (we intend to have 2 role-play mentors), and take approximately 60-minutes.

What to Expect at your Skills Role-Play session:

At the skills role-play, we recommend that you have handy your Foundation CT script, to refer to if needed, and also to help re-orient you after a pause. You’ll also need the standard framing, which is in the 2023 CTCC manual, starting on page 36. It’s also useful to have the Cheat Sheet from the Advanced CT Manual (Appendix A), to more easily find a question, in order to find a starting place (a feeling, behavior, or thought to be changed). You can find the most up-to date versions of these in the Permanent CTCC Participant Materials dropbox folder. And in addition, it could be helpful to have the new handout handy, “If there’s a concern about the process.“

During the Skills Role-Play, there will be one or more times when we’ll skip over some steps. However, we’ll give you time to adjust to where you are. (This is another reason to have the CT Foundation Script handy, so that you can orient yourself to where you are in the process after a jump.)

Come ready to learn through through the process as well as demonstrating the foundational skills listed above. (We’re looking for a good level of skill, but not perfection.) So please expect to receive feedback through the process from your Skills Role-Play Mentor. The session will be recorded so you can access these learnings later. After your skills role-play, your Mentor will let Tamara & Mark know, and the ultimate decision for recertification will be up to Tamara and Mark.

Reminder: These Skills Role-Plays will be using primarily the Foundation Script, plus relatively small additions that help you get back to the Foundation Script. They will not involve other formats such as giving energy back, inviting the part out into the hands, or working with multiple parts at the same time.
