Satir Family Relationship Workshop in Brisbane| Healing Through Connection

This December, Bright Insight Counselling had the incredible privilege of co-hosting a two-day Satir Family Relationship Workshop here in Brisbane.

Led by the wonderful Teacher Mitchell from Taiwan, the weekend was filled with sincerity, vulnerability, and deep human connection.

Over these two transformative days, participants were introduced to powerful tools from the Satir Model, including the well-known Iceberg Metaphor, helping us to:

 Understand and unpack old coping patterns
 Reconnect with our deeper feelings and true yearnings
 Shift from “I must” to “I choose”

The Satir Model, developed by Virginia Satir, is built on the belief that every person longs to be seen, heard, and valued—and that everyone holds an innate capacity for growth and healing. When people feel truly safe, they can gently lower their defenses and begin to express their authentic selves.

Throughout the group, we witnessed many beautiful moments of change:

 Some participants bravely expressed feelings they had never voiced before.
 Some gained a new understanding of the distance and patterns within family relationships.
 Others discovered that they no longer needed to work so hard to please others in order to feel worthy of love.

These shifts were not loud or dramatic—yet they were deeply real and meaningful.
A gentle softening.
A quiet transformation.
A movement from “I have to” toward “I have a choice.”

This experience continues to influence the way we support our clients at Bright Insight Counselling—trusting more deeply in each person’s inner strength, and patiently holding space for change to unfold naturally.

A heartfelt thank you to Teacher Mitchell for bringing his healing light from Taiwan to Australia for the very first time.

And to every participant: thank you for your courage, your openness, and your tears. 

Stay tuned for our next growth workshop.

12月，Bright Insight Counselling 有幸協辦並參與了一場 薩提亞家庭關係工作坊。
那是一個充滿真誠、理解與深度連結的週末。

由來自台湾的瀚強老師親自帶領，這也是他首次將這份療癒的光帶來Brisbane。

薩提亞模式由 Virginia Satir 所發展，
它相信每個人內在都渴望被看見、被理解、被肯定，
也都擁有成長與療癒的力量。
當一個人感到安全，就能慢慢鬆開防衛，開始說出真正的自己。

在這兩天裡，我們透過像「冰山理論」這樣深具力量的工具，一步步探索自己：

 看見並理解舊有的應對模式
 重新連結內在更深層的感受與渴望
 從「我必須這樣」走向「我可以選擇」

在團體裡，我們看見——

 有人第一次勇敢地說出心裡的感受；
 有人重新理解自己與家人的距離；
 有人發現，原來自己不需要再那麼用力討好，依然值得被愛。

那些轉變並不張揚，卻真實而深刻。
是一種溫柔的鬆動，
是一種安靜卻有力量的改變。

這份經驗也持續影響著我們在諮商中的陪伴方式：
更相信每個人內在的力量，
更有耐心地等待改變自然發生。

未來若有合適的時機，
我們也期待再次舉辦相關成長工作坊，
讓更多人有機會在安全的空間裡，與自己相遇。

特別感恩瀚強老師，
首次從台灣為布里斯本照進療癒之光。
帶著真誠的看見，帶著溫柔的接納，
陪伴我們走過難忘的兩天心靈旅程。

也感謝每一位參與者，
讓這個12月充滿溫度與感動
