Hello, dear readers of the portal "". Wishes come to my mail about topics that people are most interested in, and recently I have been asked questions about why personal growth trainings are needed. Today I want to present to your court an article called " Personal Growth Training". Now these trainings and coaches have simply flooded the Internet; hundreds and thousands of "professional trainers" offer their services, and I want to offer you my vision and attitude to these courses.

So, pour tea into a large mug and make yourself comfortable, now there will be the whole truth about personal growth trainings... It is known that personal growth trainings appeared in the middle of the last century in the USA. Gradually, all activities spread throughout the world, and reached Russia in the early 90s. At the beginning of its existence (and in most cases even today), the action on the human mind occurs according to a certain, sometimes with variations, pattern:

To humiliate a person, showing the insignificance of his existence before training
Give a gracious chance to show that a person is still good for something

The whole concept of personal growth training lies in the fact that the so-called “emotional swing” effect arises - at first a person is convinced of his failure, the fallacy of his worldview - he lived all his life differently (how is he still alive?). Against the background of this pseudo-aggression, against the background of public humiliation - any insignificant compliment causes greatness and boundless trust in the coach. The next stage is praise and as a gift - a chance to "become a man." Often a person will be politely explained that the environment needs to be changed, that those close people who are with him are dragging him into the swamp. So there are two ways - either to part with this environment, or to bring them into training, for enlightenment and payment for services (in fact, this is the goal of personal growth training). Reception is called - involvement.

You can't refuse. What can you achieve if you can't complete a simple task. You're a loser. There are "profitable" offers - you bring 10 friends, and your training is free and forever. Or pay for the course, and you can take a friend (girlfriend, dog) with you to the training. As a result, everything closes on multi-level marketing, the financial pyramid of happiness. Full of happiness from enlightenment, with an unnatural gleam in his eyes, a person runs to invite his friends and relatives to the training. Everything, the circle is closed.

The training program is usually divided into courses - basic, advanced, VIP. Amazing understanding of the financial capabilities of the client. For better assimilation of the material, the mandatory offer of additional courses. Continuous brainwashing plus group work. In a team, it is much easier to complete the task of hugging 30 passers-by, begging or selling a vacuum cleaner to the first person you meet for a million rubles. There are many fantasies - you can change into a prostitute (homeless person) and take public transport at rush hour.

And here you will find the most interesting. With constant mental stress, the nervous system malfunctions. Depression, neurosis - a logical continuation of "personal growth". Well, a significant, sometimes up to several thousand dollars, “weight loss” of the wallet.

Special signs

An acquaintance, a friend, or maybe a close relative comes running to you. He reports that he went through an amazing training, that this training is a must for anyone who wants to become a successful and financially free person. And you need to go right now, not later.

At the training, you will certainly meet several dozen “lucky ones” who will share with you what successes they have achieved after the training and show you the way to the cashier. At this moment (if this has not happened before), you just need to run, since the words “I will think about it” or “another time” will cause at least indignation. There has long been research that personal growth training leads to zombies.

coaching

From English. coaching- training, training. Coaching is an enhanced form of training, as it is aimed at one person. There is no critical attitude to what is happening due to the high workload of the coach. The result is an unsupported increase in self-esteem, neglect and superiority over others. In contact with reality, it can cause a nervous breakdown, which will force you to turn to a coach (trainer, teacher) again.

Typical statements of personal growth trainings.

Become successful with us!
It's your choice!
Career growth cannot be achieved without training!
Do you want to participate in the training? Do you want to become successful and rich?
We ourselves spend many dollars a year on our education, and we will give it to you almost for free!
I don't know how it works, but it works!
The world is kind and bright!
Life without personal growth trainings is simply UNTHINKABLE!!!
Your fate is in your hands!
join a sect

What is not hidden in most trainings is that nothing new is told on them. Almost any normal person already knows all this. But, supposedly such a powerful motivating push is only here.

back side

Trainings are different. There are trainings without the context “100% success, 200% guarantee”. Have you ever wondered who conducts the training? Psychotherapeutic trainings aimed at developing personal qualities are carried out by specialists - psychotherapists or psychologists, often in a specialized institution and often absolutely free of charge. Coaching is not streamlined, and no one asks to bring friends to save them.

Life after training

Having clearly understood that now he is a leader, a person begins to change his life and environment.

Throws a girl (guy) - (I'll find myself better!)
Without fear, he takes on work that he simply cannot do. Later it turns out that a task that was difficult to carry out under the supervision of a coach cannot be done on your own.
Attempts to pull over the role of leader in the team. Such behavior usually causes nothing but surprise, irritation or a smile.
The consequences of long-term stress affect: hysteria, depression, problems in communicating with the environment. The traumatized psyche is filled with false attitudes.
Lies about their achievements, fear of revealing the "terrible truth."
Inventing your own methods of liberation from the "shackles of civilization."

findings

The human psyche is a very subtle substance.
It is not possible to make a leader out of any person.
Tasks and methods, often from a textbook on "shock therapy", there are no halftones - either a person will forever get rid of his complexes and phobias, or after the stress he has experienced, he will drive the problem far inside. Consequences are possible in the distant future.
The creators of Nazism also wanted to "improve" humanity.
Work to improve your personal qualities is not limited to three days of the main course and not even a week of VIPa.
It will take more than one year to develop social skills in natural situations. Without regular practice in natural settings, short-term results and theory are useless and dangerous.
Most of the effects of personal growth can be obtained without paying a penny.
Self respect. How can a person who is ready to throw his “I” into the trash can treat himself in three days?

It seems to me that the harm of personal growth training is very obvious. Once again I say that this is my opinion, based on personal experience and the experience of my friends, therefore I do not pretend to be the truth in the first person. If you have been touched by this topic, please leave your opinion in the comments!

Personal development trainings differ from instrumental trainings (trainings of specific skills) in that they provide knowledge and develop tactics, strategies and skills that increase personal potential: helping to better solve life problems and used in a wide range of situations, increasing the capabilities of the individual in more than one narrow area and many areas of life.

Personal development trainings are held both in the personal field and in the business field. For example, "The Art of Communication" or "Management of Emotions" are more like trainings of a personal plan, personal topics, and the trainings "Public Speaking", "Goal Setting", "Leadership Development" and "Stress Management" are more like trainings of a business orientation. Training "Logical text analysis", which develops thinking, can be attributed to both business and personal fields. But all these trainings are personal development trainings.

Personal development training and psychotherapy

Personal Development Trainings and Personal Growth Trainings

These are quite different things, but in practice few people distinguish between them. Even experts call them, confusing, and so and so. But to be precise, growth occurs only by itself, while development can be produced.

Personal growth training is a series of activities aimed at improving individual qualities that contribute to the success of a person. Thanks to exercises focused on personal growth, a person is able to change unwanted character traits for more positive ones, can get rid of a variety of negative thoughts and negative complexes.

Personal growth is a purposeful process of improving a person, the desire to become better. Personal growth is considered to be all situations, factors and opportunities that bring the individual closer to achieving the ideal.

Personal growth involves the formation of a person's potential. Potential - a set of characteristics that express its ability to build on internal stable reference points, to maintain the stability of activity under periodically changing environmental factors. This is a series of characteristic properties that help the individual become able to regulate behavior, make decisions according to personal ideas.

It is important for each potential member of the group to know how dangerous personal growth trainings are, so that instead of being useful, they do not get more damage and maintain mental health.

The basic goal of personal growth training is the internal growth of the individual, self-development and.

Psychological training for personal growth

The goal of personal growth training is to modify the worldview, change the stereotypes of activities that prevent the individual from being successful and happier.

A subject who wants to transform individual characteristics into more positive and qualitatively different characteristics must undergo personal growth training. An individual who has completed these classes will become more calm, confident, happy and spiritually free, regardless of the influence of circumstances and environmental factors. Thanks to special psychological techniques, a person is able to be programmed for success. This happens thanks to classes and special exercises that help a member of the group to comprehend his deep attitudes, which subconsciously most affect existence and provoke certain results of activity.

Purpose of Personal Growth Training- to know and realize the possibilities (potential) inherent in the personality, which involve qualitative changes. The goal can change depending on the characteristics of the group. Often, exercise goals cover some general aspects:

Formation of self-knowledge by reducing psychological barriers and eliminating the feeling of insincerity of the personality itself;

Development of conditions and factors that will make it difficult or easier for the group to function (membership or size of the group);

Studying the relations of group members;

Mastering the skills of diagnosing organizational, group, individual problems, such as solving group conflict situations, strengthening group ties, creating training conditions, achieving individual requests.

The goal of personal growth training is achieved when a member of the group can make an independent decision about how he should live. Participants themselves find how diversely one can perceive all life around, they can make valuable life discoveries regarding their closest people, close friends and themselves.

A person may experience intense emotional upheavals and shake-ups, which often leads to a loss of self-control, since he needs to perform all the exercises or instructions from the coach, which sometimes do not make obvious sense.

Everyone who wants to participate in such classes needs to think whether he is really going to change something or whether the current life suits him just fine. If a person is not ready for changes or they do not need them, then the coach will not allow him to the group.

Future members of the training must have the desire to start a new life, but must also meet certain criteria. Those wishing to become participants in personal growth trainings must be mentally healthy, emotionally balanced, calm and without mental abnormalities.

The coach of the group should stimulate the process of making autonomous decisions by the individual, his ranking and structuring of life values, guidelines and goals. This is done through the application of various techniques, techniques and research approaches, such as gestalt, cognitive psychology, existential approach.

Types of personal growth trainings are psychological and esoteric.

Psychological training is carried out under the guidance of a leader who has a completed psychological education, using psychological categories and definitions. In contrast to the esoteric ones, which are led by a person with knowledge of psychology at the everyday level and owning esoteric and mystical knowledge.

Types of personal growth trainings:

Personal development (used to master the general knowledge necessary for orientation in a wide range of potential situations). For example, a person learns effective interaction, he develops strong and good traits in himself, learns confident behavior, learns self-control;

Psychotherapeutic trainings (carried out with the aim of improving the quality of life, they contain special procedures, techniques, methods and exercises through which the assimilation of ways of behaving in life and personal difficulties is carried out);

Condition training (this is a special type, including methods for overcoming the condition and other internal barriers and various complexes that arise in a person);

Research trainings (help individuals who set goals to understand personal limitations and gain emotional experience, which often helps in understanding something);

Transformational (focused on the basic (deep) beliefs of a person, his values and condition). An individual has very powerful internal spiritual transformations (enlightenment, breakthrough,), thanks to the occurrence of which he will be able to reveal something new in everyday habitual life or realize something differently.

Personal growth training for women involves dividing into groups that differ polarly. The first group consists of women subject to oppression by family members.

The purpose of personal growth training is to gain self-knowledge and develop fortitude, which helps to gain confidence and resist people who want to keep the female will from an independent, happy and self-sufficient life.

Training for women is in group form and in individual form. Participation in group trainings gives a woman a powerful impetus, because being among like-minded people, she feels confident.

The second group of personal growth training are women who work in large organizations and companies in leadership positions.

Not everyone is a natural leader, but many have to work in an organization and hold a leadership position. The charismatic attractiveness of a person helps a person achieve significant results in career advancement. Those who do not have this characteristic need to work hard and cultivate discipline in themselves. However, hard work does not help a woman overcome such a problem as internal timidity in relations with the team she leads. More often, such timidity occurs if the team is made up of men.

Personal growth training for women is focused on the development and discovery of internal potential; recognizing fears that prevent you from living a full life; development of positive traits and qualities; search for resources to help development.

Not all classes in a row can be equally useful. Quite often they conclude a veiled threat and can only harm the personality itself. The group member must know the dangers of personal growth training and recognize this danger.

In destructive sessions, participants are encouraged to destroy their personality or part of themselves that they consider unworthy and do it extremely abruptly, as if cutting it off. Such training does not at all lead to the progress of personal growth, on the contrary, it only breaks the human psyche. Advice such as "give up the old self" or "kill your weakness" is very destructive, has nothing to do with professional psychotherapy, and does not promote personal growth.

The danger of these meetings lies in the personality of the leader of the group. After working with a true psychotherapist, a person begins to notice that his emotional state has improved, fundamental changes occur in life, he becomes confident and successful.

As a result of communication with a destructive coach, a group member feels devastated and humiliated. Such a "guru" behaves with the members of the group arrogantly and cruelly. He offends, puts people in an uncomfortable position, reproaches them with weakness and ignorance. Such a leader seems to be deliberately trying to cause emotional suffering, explaining this as motivation and hardening.

Through emotional buildup, the facilitator tries to earn approval, he wants to assert himself, and not teach this to the participants in the personal growth training. He sees the ultimate goal of this training not to help others, but to subjugate their will to himself in order to force them to follow everything that the “trainer” says.

In order to understand the danger of such training in time, you need to listen to your feelings. If there is a feeling of emptiness and humiliation, you need to run away from this coach.

Destructive trainers teach that experiencing negative emotions, aggression, and suffering will only benefit the trainee for personal growth. Therefore, instructors often insult group members and try to provoke them into aggression. A person is forced to perform illogical actions: calling himself names, expressing joy for no reason, kissing or hugging strangers, declaring that this is “for their good.”

A destructive coach teaches participants to be rude and arrogant, since these qualities, in their opinion, characterize a person who is self-confident, which means successful.

First, pressure, then humiliation, then praise - this is a way of emotional swinging, which leads to the submission of participants to the coach.

A truly experienced, intelligent and conscientious psychotherapist, leading a group or personal counseling, will never humiliate a client in personal practice, will not force him to do what he categorically does not accept.

A smart and benevolent psychotherapist will teach individuals how to stand up for themselves without the use of rudeness and rudeness.

The danger of these activities may lie in the fact that members of the group are taught to actively and aggressively attack, and not defend themselves, thus, a substitution of concepts comes out when they are taught that an attack is the best defense, or impudence is a second happiness.

If a person is taught to be aggressive and rude, then he ended up in a destructive training. After visiting such a training, a person feels guilty. Even when he is absolutely unwilling to step over himself in order to show aggression, he is forced to do so.

If a person nevertheless manages to “squeeze out” an impudent trick unusual for himself, then the leader and the group approve with admiration, although the person himself does not like it. Upon returning home, a person feels a sense of shame and considers himself guilty for what he did at the training. The condition is aggravated by the fact that an internal one is formed between what is imposed on him in training sessions and what he considers the norm for himself. It is these sensations that are considered signs of the danger of personal growth training. If, at the end of the training, a person feels guilt that was not there before, then there is no need to attend this training anymore.
