ABOUT THE COURSE:
"We all have characteristic embodied styles of living, and with each style, there are clusters of attitudes, expectations, behaviors, and emotional processes that shape our possibilities and limits. This 4 part lecture series will look at how these styles emerge from the interplay of our various vulnerabilities and adaptive adjustments, and how they are dynamically interconnected with foundational themes, with self-protective patterns, with longings and with imaginative and creative capacities. We will also explore the implications of this orienting process in therapy." -Lynne Jacobs

Reviews
Dr. Jacob's descriptions of the character styles was excellent. I have never heard the character styles explained in a way that makes so much sense and easy to understand! Her ease and style of lecturing was easy to follow and her easy-going personality could be felt, which captivated me, thus helping me really pay attention to what was being shared. Of course, it helps that this is a topic that I have researched and have a strong interest in, but I can definitely say I left this course a lot more knowledgable. I highly recommend this CE course.
TDC training is engaging, relational and thorough. It helped to strengthen my clinical work.
This was the best training I've taken in so long. I really enjoyed Lynn's authenticity, wealth of knowledge, and deep understanding for character styles.
