The 「Making Contact Workshop」is designed to support participants in developing meaningful interactions with others while fostering a deeper understanding of themselves. Throughout this course, students will engage in reflective practices that highlight the impact of their interactions on both themselves and others. This dynamic learning process allows for continuous application of insights in personal and professional contexts. It provides a space for practice, self-clarification, and effective expression.
Grounded in the Huawushi family therapy model, this course highlights the importance of authentic self-awareness within interpersonal relationships. When individuals are able to connect with their true selves, they can cultivate more genuine interactions, enhancing both their personal and professional effectiveness. By practicing these skills in everyday life, participants will improve communication, self-awareness, and the ability to navigate evolving relationships with confidence.
Through active participation, students will develop a clear understanding of the 「Person–Self–Context」model, strengthening their ability to build consistent and meaningful connections with others.
