SATIR

• Can be used with individuals, couples, and families

• Explores coping styles , expectations, perceptions, feelings, fears, and yearnings in order to be more fully connected to Self

• Allows people to develop higher self-esteem, increase their level of responsibility, make better choices, and be more in touch with themselves.

• Is experiential, meaning that  feelings, perceptions, sensations, etc. are experienced by the clients; this is how it differs from other talk therapies. Family therapy, for example, can include role play, sculpting, and other interactive techniques.

• Is systemic and so individuals are considered  part of a larger system (such as the family)and their therapy involves the family either through history-taking or in person.
