feeling-seen - by Michael Bachg

Experts' opinions

"Unnoticed by the PBSP public, feeling-seen is probably the most significant and beneficial application of PBSP in German-speaking countries.

Who did not feel close to tears, when Michael Bachg showed video clips about various families at our last conference? It was clearly evident that these moving scenes penetrate the very core of the parent-child relationship.

In view of the difficult psychotherapeutic work with children and adolescents – oftentimes only leading to partially permanent changes – whether it is depth-psychology, systemic or behaviour therapy, here a possibility is opening up for treating parents and their children in a completely new way, a family therapy – through microtracking with the child, while the parents are present.

I believe that anyone working with PBSP should take part in this additional training, even if he/she is never going to work with children or adolescents. Because PBSP is being explored here from a different angle, providing very important impulses for working with adults too."

" A lovely and effective application of PBSP principles and procedu- res for the field of parenting."

"What you are doing in facilitating emotional processes is really good, and as a result you get to the core of the matter very quickly.Actually, this kind of approach ought to be obvious, but it takes a lot of courage and a deeply rooted empathic attitude."
