Why Train
With Sensory Systems
Life
Learning
The world
is changing more quickly than ever before. We are under increasing pressure
to keep up with the changes. To keep up we need to increase our learning.
It also requires making many more changes in our life.
Learning
is something that we engage in throughout our life. We learn what to think
and feel and learn how to think and feel. We also need to learn how to make
decisions, and how to be motivated. We learn what we need, like and want from
life. We learn how to meet these needs. We learn that life can be joyful,
successful and meaningful.
All too
often life falls short of its potential for fulfilment.
We can
however do something about this. We can learn from the collective wisdom of
others. We can identify how best to learn and apply learning to meet the challenges
of life. How? Through the process of behavioural modelling.
Learning
about Life
As humans
we have been collectively learning about ourselves for thousands of years.
In the last fifty years major new developments in the fields of systems theory,
cybernetics, linguistics, anthropology, psychology, ecology, chaos theory,
fractal geometry and mathematics have resulted in a new integrated way to
make sense of life.
The latest
innovations in the area of learning and human development come from the field
of Developmental Behavioural Modelling (DBM).
At the
individual level we each form our own ‘model’ of our world. Throughout life
we engage in ‘modelling’ without realising we are doing so. As it is mainly
learnt and practised without our awareness, inefficiencies and ineffectiveness
can go unnoticed. Problems resulting from an inaccurate or poorly used model
will continue.
We can
benefit greatly by learning about this major aspect of our life – our own
personal modelling. Knowing how to form a more accurate model and how to use
it effectively is a major life skill; a life skill that can greatly enhance
our success and contribute to a higher quality of life.
Living
Learning
Whatever
learning we have made will be the basis for all that we do. We are living
the skills that we have learnt. Having more skills means having a better basis
to meet life’s challenges. If we have skills that enable us to learn in any
situation then life as a whole becomes a process of learning.
Life
Skills
Life
skills are all the skills involved in our social and professional lives. These
involve things not often thought of as skills, for example, how to be happy
or excited about life. Modelling is a life skill. The skill can be the naturalistic
modelling that everyone does or a more sophisticated form such as DBM. The
life skills involved in modelling cover a number of areas.
To help
understand why training with Sensory Systems could benefit you we have posted
a series of articles written by Sensory Systems graduates. These are examples
of just some of the many uses our students find for thier newly developing
skills and understandings.
