Gazioglu, N. & Erenel, S. (2023, March 30- April 1). Satir Online! [Conference presentation]. IFTA 31st World Family Therapy Congress, Malaga, Spain

Satir Online!

Short Description: During the pandemic, the vast majority of therapists shifted online. Most of them continue online therapy sessions. This workshop will share tools that therapists can use online with their clients. The central perspective will be Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy Model.

Abstract: Satir Transformational Systemic Model has a tremendous range of techniques. These techniques are also called “vehicles of change”. Until the pandemic, therapies were mostly held face to face, and therapists held these vehicles of change experientially in a therapy room setting. During the pandemic, as people shifted to the cyber world, Satir therapists continued to have experiential sessions. The clients’ representation of their primary triad was reflected online: empowerment was online, raising awareness was online, integrating resources was online, and change and transformation were online. In this workshop, Satir Transformational Systemic Model-inspired online vehicles of change will be shared with the participants.


Gazioglu, N. (2023, March 30- April 1). Metaphoric Meditation in Family Therapy [Conference presentation]. IFTA 31st World Family Therapy Congress, Malaga, Spain.

Metaphoric Meditation in Family Therapy

Short Description: According to Virginia Satir, meditation is an entrance to the right hemisphere. In this workshop, Gazioglu will present her way of integrating metaphors with meditations.

Abstract: Virginia Satir began her teachings and workshops with a meditation that helped to focus energy, quiet their inner dialogue and be more present in the “now” (Satir, Banmen, Gomori, Gerber, 1991). Therapy is experiential for both the client and the therapist. Metaphors also help us during this experiential journey. Gazioglu uniquely implemented metaphors and meditation in her work with couples. After realizing the impact, she transformed this systemic approach to families and larger groups. She is a Satir Therapist, so her work is majorly Satir Transformational Systemic Model inspired. In this experiential workshop, the power of metaphors and meditation will be investigated through therapeutic games. In addition, sample metaphoric meditation will be highlighted. Finally, the participants will develop their metaphoric meditations. Satir, V., Banmen, J., Gomori, M., & Gerber, J. (1991). The Satir model: Family therapy and beyond.
