I’m currently studying Transactional Analysis with the aim of becoming a psycho-therapeutic counsellor and eventually going on to become a psychotherapist. I’d like to use my experience of 25 years with Parkinson’s to help other people who have been diagnosed with PD or any life changing illness. I was very happy to have one of my assignments from last year chosen to be published in the United Kingdom Association for Transactional Analysis (UKATA) quarterly magazine, “The Transactional Analyst.” It’s a discussion of the importance of somatic awareness in therapeutic practice and how it influences my own life and my approach to clinical practice. If you fancy the read, please click on Betney_Layout 1 (1) I hope it’s not too dry and if you make it to the end, I hope it has helped.
