Humour for Therapists and Change workers Workshop 7-8 Oct 2023

Helping your clients with Humour is perfect for you as Therapists, Counsellors and Coaches and want to introduce skillfully structured humour grounded  interventions into your work with your clients. Humour for Therapists and Change workers Workshop is facilitated with Phil Jeremiah using his Humourworx experiential change model.

Humour in therapy ( and in life ) is to me an essential component in change. This is nothing to do with cracking jokes but the often overlooked different way to see a problem. Humour and irrelevance can be a piercing insight into cracking the difficult nut of a way to well rooted and rehearsed inner story. A red carpet to explore a different path, shifting the sensations of stuck; just enough.

Humour for Therapists and Change workers Workshop

I can easily despair at the state of our world right now. Criminally stupid exploitation of our environment, outrageous inflation, wars around the globe and the disgustingly immoral unfairness of many companies paying very poor ‘living’ wages forcing ordinary people to food banks, working several jobs to pay the rent, causing stress and worry; that list can go on and on.

Its way too easy to feel so stuck you can’t move or see a way out of worry, depression and a sever lack of control. But if you could change how you think and feel you can see there are alternatives to the usual old problem fixated reality.

Here you can help your clients shift from fixating on seemingly unsolvable problems to opening their door of freedom and see some real possibilities of change. How? With the use of strategic systematic humour based vaccines to negativity and stuckness.

You know when your laughing your entire state shifts dramatically. Laughing, you produce feel good chemicals in your body which can last for hours making you see and act in the world differently, more positively, more resourcefully.

With a process based approach to using humour and irrelevance you can assist your clients to change their story, their perceptions of old problems and skilfully guide them in new and different ways to freedom.

You know the way it is now, there are so many external events which are driving normal people to seek professional assistance. You can add and enhance your professional resources and skills to help your clients even more.

 

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 at £125 for two days of experiential training with Phil Jeremiah IV where you really will be laughing and learning 𝘢𝘯𝘥 transfer these life changing skills to your professional work. Taking place in Newcastle upon Tyne, October 7-8 2023.

Post-Traumatic Growth Workshop – Being Remarkable on Purpose : 9-10 April

Humourworx Post-Traumatic Growth Being Remarkable on Purpose

A two day weekend workshop with Phil Jeremiah IV in Newcastle upon Tyne

Post-Traumatic Growth Being Remarkable on Purpose

For connoisseurs like yourself who value experiential training that will greatly assist your creativity, resilience, anti-fragility with exceptional tools you use and can share with your clients and family.

“Your conscious and unconscious thinking defines your reaction or response to other people, circumstances, and external events.





So, is it vital to recognise and acknowledge your thoughts, worries and feelings about the world at large, because you’re thinking affects your fatigue/tiredness/energetic states.

Basically, it’s difficult to solve problems when we are in low energy states/tired. The global pandemic has affected most of us on a day-to-day basis, and maybe we need to explore what Post Traumatic Growth would look like and feel like, while still emphasising the grief many of us have experienced. The mystery is, “you can be remarkable on purpose!””

This is an experimental workshop, but it will be underpinned with the structure of Provocative Coaching in all its wonderment and daylight. As well as the existing model of Percussion – Concussion – Discussion, Phil will release a new model of, Define it – Deconstruct it – Develop it – Drive it. The challenge is to find strategies that include different modes of fun which appeal to our diverse tastes, because the humour responses are learned and are affected by our gender, age, religion, culture/media, and upbringing.

Walking on The Moon Dangerous Ideas

Psychoneuroimmunology of laughter smashing together Polyvagal theory, Amygdala Paradox into the Giant Hadron Collider of Provocative Coaching. Every description like grit or resilience is manufactured in your own chemical electrical mind body systems. You cannot do anything without thinking; you are the creator of your moods, feelings and behavioural patterns.

Your thinking defines your reaction or response to other people, circumstances and events. Your thinking affects your fatigue/tiredness states, new brain cell production and a whole array of feelgood chemicals. The autonomic nervous system sympathetic branch can be triggered for fight, flight and freeze through the Polyvagal and Amygdala systems, whether the threat is real or imagined.

However, there is an antidote, and it is already available within you. This workshop will help you generate many new ideas and add to your existing toolbox to help people.

Provocative Coaching and Pain Management

A two day workshop for people experiencing pain and for therapists who want new and additional provocative methods to really help your clients

Newcastle upon Tyne : November 2-3

Provocative Coaching and Pain Management Newcastle upon Tyne

Suffering with chronic pain can put your life on hold. Are you sick of another day of miserable gruelling pain? Sometimes it’s so bad that you may have even considered ending it all. Living with your pain there is the constant memory of how bad it has been in the past and the chilling anxiety of how bad it will be tomorrow and all the days after. This is for you whether you are experiencing either deep physical or psychological pain.

As a therapist this is also for you when you are honestly committed to really helping your clients who are suffering terribly by you learning new methods and techniques to integrate into your current skills.

There is an insidious torture method commonalty know as Chinese Water Torture. This is where the victim is restrained and water is dripped continuously onto their head. Drop by drop, never ending until the victim is literally driven insane. Continuous or even intermittent pain is like water torture. But imagine that you really could turn off that tap and switch it off? How dramatically would your life improve?

Please do read this next paragraph because its Phil’s pain story.

Pain and I go back a long way, bedridden at the age of ten with rheumatic fever was the start of my long relationship with chronic and acute pain. I am therefore an Expert by Experience (EE) which includes, two bouts of rheumatic fever, ankylosing spondylitis which is an autoimmune disease, to serious broken neck episodes, hit-and-run smashed tibia and fibula resulting in compound fractures, various body parts fusing due to AS and two total hip replacements!

Chronic pain is still a part of my life but there are strategies to help, such as the careful, respectful use of humour through Provocative Coaching. Indeed, a greater understanding of the brain and immune connections and systems help physicians believe their patients when they say, laughter is truly exceptional medicine. The ghostlike concept of belief can now be grasped in concrete terms and broken down into many cells and nerve pathways through the understanding of the chemical flow. Provocative Coaching will help you laugh and let it go, hence changing your own chemical flow and altering beliefs along the way.Phil Jeremiah IV

You want as much pain out of your life as possible so make a clever decision to come and learn massively valuable tools and techniques at a minimal cost with abundant fun and exciting learning. Again this is for therapists as well as people experiencing pain. An absolute bargain at only £150 for two full and hugely valuable days training and practising.

Phil doesn’t often get to come to Newcastle. You really don’t want to miss out on learning his latest creative updates in Provocative Coaching. Avoid some serious future regret by making a great decision to come and experience for yourself the power and technology of Provocative Coaching for Pain Management. Book yourself a place right away and expand your horizons.

You will discover the genuine value and meaning in using the Provocative Coaching approach from the unique perspective that is Phil’s life work. You get to learn and integrate the tools of an absolute world class expert. Your training will be exciting, fun and highly interactive. This means you going forwards into the future more well equipped than ever. Make yourself happy and book your place!

Provocative Coaching and Pain Management 7 Key Concepts

1. During the workshop Phil will introduce new ideas around pain management, linked into the latest discoveries and breakthroughs in the field of psychoneuroimmunology.
2. Understanding the neural plasticity of pain pathways gives great leverage to the provocative coach.
3. Pain is information, when to provoke and when not to provoke, that indeed is the question! This will be answered during the workshop.
4. Tailoring the Bubble session to meet the individual needs of client’s pain types.
5. Making friends your great Vagus Nerve and how the Voo sound helps with this, this is from the real research, trust me.
6. Endogenous opiates and out to tap into them, so you become your own dope dealer which is perfectly legal!
7. Developing new metaphors to change the deeper meaning of pain signals.

I believe Provocative Coaching can help healing through changes in beliefs fueled by the atomic substance of laughter! By understanding the biological basis of the stress response and the effects on illness we can develop better coping strategies, thus empowering people to manage their pain. In the workshop we will explore, the underlying labels of pain phenomena, including Arthritis, ME, Fibromyalgia, Migraine and many different types of spinal pain sprouting from the musculoskeletal systems. My aims and objectives for the workshop is to show that minute connections can affect our broader emotional systems. Lubricating the cogs and wheels in the interlocking parts of our time defined patterns can lead to more harmoniously, functioning basis for meaningful well-being.

You punch your timecard every day with love and joy because you really don’t know when your timecard will be rejected, when your time is up and when you’ve had all your allotted heartbeats! So in the interim along the road of life, please find some meaning in yourself, you can because I know this, for I am an expert by experience.Phil Jeremiah IV

Thought Provoking Philosophising Training Newcastle : October 2018

Thought Provoking Philosophising Training Newcastle with Phil Jeremiah IV. You will experience the Percussion, Concussion and Discussion model of how specifically to arrange the context for provocative change.

There are many variants of using humour and irrelevance in change work and there are two unique aspects to taking on and incorporating in your work with a Provocative Coaching Training Newcastle. Firstly there is the Phil factor which having trained with him you will know. Phil is teaching you to own the patterns and apply them as yourself, in your own unique style.

Secondly, an aspect that is missing from many if not most training’s in the provocative method is how to set up and frame what is going to happen to your clients, be this in therapy or coaching. This essential framing allows and facilitates the essence of being provocative. This is called in the inner circle ‘The Bubble of Possibility’.

The Bubble of Possibility – A Humourful Provocative Space for Change

This is the well defined ‘safe space’ of absolute inclusion where nothing is out of bounds and just about anything goes in light of helping a client get unstuck using an array of patterns which are shared in great detail during the training weekend.

A bubble session can be thought of as a kind of brain spa treatment session where your entire body has the potential to be drenched in laughter, confusion and new meanings, solutions and experiences that can completely re-write the old story of what was once a real problem.

Thought Provoking Philosophising Training Newcastle October 2018

Taking this unique training with Phil Jeremiah IV is highly practical and you will get to experience, by demonstration, how to apply the serious use of humour in therapy and coaching. There is a course manual detailing the many varied patterns utilised within a session.

Throughout the two days unique training you will get to see, first hand ( it may be you ) a selection of real change work and therapy sessions. Sessions are 20 minutes in duration, framed within The Bubble of Possibility, Percussion, Concussion and Discussion model.

Discussion being so important it will get a mention here. When genuine and meaningful discussion becomes apparent, this is where tenderness and honest communication becomes vital; this is the beginnings of re-writing a story of love and integrity take shape.  And it is the client who is the author of their change.

Humour Worx : Provocative Change : Workshop : Newcastle 28-30 July

Humour Worx and it all begins in the ‘Bubble of Possibility‘. Provocative Change is all about the structured and unstructured ( spontaneity ) use of irrelevance. Irrelevance has a structure so this should at least be confusing. Here we go!

Get an amazing solution oriented set of key skills to add to your tool box with Humour Worx Provocative Change.

The ‘Bubble Of Possibility’ is a metaphor, and from the outset, The Bubble creates a safe and genuinely challenging space to be prodded, poked and encouraged to explore a problem, a limitation or a thought. This is the safe space where provocative change happens. The Bubble is necessary to set the stage of what can happen. Anything, everything and all that is in between.

Phil has been coming to Newcastle to teach his Humour Worx since 2010. Phil’s work is constantly evolving and is based in solid structures that have a way of creating neuro-plastic change in the brain that is soaked in humour.

As a participant you will be learning patterns and drills ( which are easy to learn ) which culminate in a set of skills, suitably framed, that are a perfect addition to your current skills set.

Provocative Change Patterns

This is Phil’s latest work which is comprising of updated structure of Humour Worx being 20 patterns and an additional day of the advanced stuff which is rarely taught, as they say, the cutting edge. Here are some of the patterns.

  • Voice Technology
  • Don’t worry about that
  • Where there is blame there is a claim
  • Problem justification shuffle
  • Research shows

Over three days you will be internalising some 20 linguistic patterns of Provocative Change in Humour Worx BUT as seasoned practitioners know the linguistic patterns are just a part of the congruent attitude that both verbal and non-verbal excellent change workers demonstrate.

You will be developing your own personal style of expression of the Provocative Change Humour Worx system which on day three will grow into the reality you can create and project.

The three days are centered around genuine Bubble Session where you will experience Phil working 1:1 in 20 minute sessions. Did you know it takes around 20 minutes to create, that is grow and solidify new neural connections?

This is an excellent opportunity to work with and model ( in my opinion ) the best Provocative Change exponent. The workshop is also excellent value.

Playful Change – Humour In Therapy : Exceedingly Good Additions For Your Therapy Toolbox : November 2014

If you are an NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, Solution Focused Therapist, counsellor or a change worker of any form you will deeply understand the value of having several approaches to complement your main profession.

Effective therapy often involves going beyond any one specific protocol or pattern because all of our clients are individuals and respond better to some forms of intervention that others. That’s why its invaluable to have a variety of tools that can help your clients out of seemingly intractable thinking patterns or behaviours.

Phil Jeremiah is coming to Newcastle ( for the third time in four years ) this November to share his latest additions in the world of Playful Change. That is the structured use of humour and playfulness within a safe therapeutic setting.

Now have you ever considered the structured and deliberate use of humour, irrelevance and playfulness as applied to therapy? Especially with the people you find the most challenging to work with.

Playful Change in Therapy

Completing this workshop you will have both the skills and competency to interject irrelevance, humour or positive shock which can be easily incorporated into your current work or you could just as well utilise a full 20 minute Playful Change session inside your therapy work too.

The workshop will include patterns, group work and the opportunity to work with Phil one to one in a full 20 minute Playful Change session.

So you are confident in your application of the skills there will be many drills and exercises where you practice the patterns continuing to build on what you are learning over the weekend.

The weekend is guaranteed to be fun, relevant and structured. You can anticipate having a real laugh while your learning in experience.

November 22-23 : Newcastle upon Tyne : £150

Before the booking information, Im going to share a little history about how I was introduced to Phil and why I am inviting him back to Newcastle.

I was introduced and recommended to Phil’s work in 2009 by one of my first excellent teachers of NLP. Such a recommendation was real interesting and couldn’t be refused so I acted immediately intending to bring Phil to Newcastle.

Following a couple of telephone conversations and emails, I realised Phil is very much a kindred spirit and soon we had arranged dates for a two day training in the North East.

In early 2010 Phil came to Newcastle to teach Humour Works to a group of Hypnotherapists,  NLP Practitioners and a smattering of Solution Focused therapists and counsellors. The weekend was a huge success and the feedback from participants was extremely positive.

Phil Jeremiah IV is a world class exponent of Provocative Change, Thought Provoking Dialogue and Playful Change. Phil was one of Frank Farrelly’s ( creator of provocative therapy ) early and close in students.

My opinion is Phil is the slickest and most natural exponent of any of the ‘provocative’ styles facilitators I have seen. Plus his being a superb and fun teacher makes this a training you really must attend. You will be learning much more that patterns, you will be learning application and style.

I thoroughly enjoyed Phil’s workshop. Apart from the actual content, which was fascinating, his slick delivery meant that the weekend flew by. He is a superb and extremely humorous presenter, who could give many comedians a run for their money! He brought the topic to life through a wide range of actual examples and life experience. Thought Provoking Dialogue is a brilliant tool which complements other approaches. I have used it regularly since to great effect.”

Phil Jerimiah has been providing training in the UK and Europe for over 20 years to a wide range of professionals and organisations and has worked in the field of personal development for even longer. He was a qualified Senior Mental Health Social Worker, approved under the Mental Health Act 1983. Phil has extensive training and a wealth of experience in the fields of adult psychiatry, psychotherapy, counselling, hypnosis, brief therapy, NLP, EFT, EMDR, Life coaching and clinical risk assessment in mental health.

I attended the workshop for Thought Provoking Dialogue (TPD) without any prior knowledge of what this therapy actually meant in terms of therapeutic change work. I listened to Phil Jeremiah who explained what TPD was and also observed him whilst he carried out this work in his metaphorical “Bubble of Possibilities”. All I can say is that when the change happened, for whoever sat in that bubble with him, it was almost palpable as I sat in the audience and witnessed the change happening to that person in front of me. I got into the bubble with Phil Jeremiah and can say without reservation that he is an exceptionally skilled therapist, indeed at times it was as if he could read my mind before even I knew what was on it. I have heard and read the statement that TPD is not for everyone! I would disagree with that and say it is a necessary part of any therapists toolbox if they are committed to facilitating change for the client and, therefore, would urge all therapists to attend Phil Jeremiah’s TPD workshop and get one of the most skilled therapists to teach this art to them

Christine Brock


So, here it is a DVD of a Humour Worx weekend. This is specifically for therapists, coaches, change workers and anyone interested in adding and incorporating a real dimension into how you work with clients.

When I first did the ‘Thought Provoking Dialogue’ weekend course with Phil Jerimiah, I was not sure of what to expect. What I found was a very fun way of resolving problems, that was both rapid and very effective. The processes used are very well structured as is the teaching methodology, which involves clear explanations along with actual practice of the processes involved. All in all an excellent piece of therapeutic technology.

When we are working in the role of a change consultant, therapist, facilitator or coach we do have an outcome in mind that is to facilitate a real, honest and empowering environment of exploration for our clients. How can we tune into being this creative?

There is a real need and requirement to be able to create a context for generative change which is enabling and at the same time, truly an honest and very creative place. When we hold a perspective of being seriously creative, we can see a clear path to genuinely enabling changes …

Performing arts and drama facilitation expert, Ruth Hindmarsh will facilitate a fun and safe space to really be the change consultant you know are, with fun and real purpose.

Within a sequence of exercises, Ruth and myself will integrate play, fun and creativity into tools and process’s you can easily merge into your professional practice and your life to make your sessions and interactions much more creative as well as bringing a smile and sense of something more deeply connecting into our work, play time and life as a whole.

What is the Bubble Of Possibility?

The ‘Bubble’ is a safe space created in advance of any therapeutic or coaching work. Humour Worx change consultants, explain what can happen in this space, a space where the agent of change will and can do anything and everything to assist their client in making an honest and lasting change, from a problem space to something much more resourceful.

All participants will receive

  • A robust structure to utilise humour in change work
  • Personal change work with the group via exercises
  • The opportunity to do a 1:1 session with Phil
  • New and different perspectives and methodologies to use humour in your own work and practices

So many research papers and books tell us of the positive effects of laughter. Apparently 20 minutes of laughter is equivalent to 20 minutes of physical activity, likened to an inner form of jogging. It may well act as a buffer against day to day stressful perceptions. However, laughter is not easy to come by in our mixed up fear driven world. Consequently Humour Worx sets out to challenge our sometimes negative mind-sets and self-limiting beliefs.

I thoroughly enjoyed Phil’s workshop. Apart from the actual content, which was fascinating, his slick delivery meant that the weekend flew by. He is a superb and extremely humorous presenter, who could give many comedians a run for their money!

He brought the topic to life through a wide range of actual examples and life experience.

Humour Worx is a brilliant tool which complements other approaches. I have used it regularly since to great effect.

Research shows that laughter can help to boost the immune system

 

This workshop is all about therapeutic uses of humour and a Humour Worx approach to real change. An absolute must for therapists, coaches, trainers and all people helpers! Phil Jeremiah was one of Frank Farrelly’s ( Provocative Therapy ) earliest and brightest students.

When I first did the ‘Humour Worx’ weekend course with Phil Jeremiah, I was not sure of what to expect. What I found was a very fun way of resolving problems, that was both rapid and very effective.
