But in going deeper, your participant will become much more vulnerable, and will consequently need much more safety from you as the facilitator. We have found that the best safety comes from your ability to facilitate the prerequisite processes from the BFT. In many cases the AFT processes actually contain whole BFT processes. So your knowing how to use the Risk Manager, or What\u2019s at Risk, or the Switch is essential for keeping whatever AFT process you are facilitating safe enough that the participant does not experience any damaging shame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/shadowwork.com\/aft-prerequisite-seminar\/\">AFT Prerequisite Seminar<\/a> offers a multitude of opportunities for learning. You will facilitate processes with the supervision and personalized coaching and feedback from expert mentors. You will be facilitated yourself by other students who are backed up by the mentors. You will also participate in thorough feedback sessions at the end of each process.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In this experiential way, rather than through lecture or reading, you can learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>how your own shadows get triggered and block your ability to facilitate cleanly.<\/li>\n<li>how to manage your own \u201cstuff\u201d as it builds up over the stretch of facilitating a whole live process \u201cfor real.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>how to conduct a Risk Manger process without actually splitting out the RM onto the carpet, by continually maintaining your awareness of the participant\u2019s RM throughout the process and thereby running a RM process on the \u201cMaster Overlay\u201d Level.<\/li>\n<li>how the depth of a process can be determined by your ability to bring onto the carpet a Bad Guy at a deeper level.<\/li>\n<li>how to distinguish between a real Bad Guy and a \u201cRisk Manager as Bad Guy\u201d and when to proceed with either one, depending on the participant\u2019s desire for depth and safety in the process.<\/li>\n<li>how to apply your knowledge of the Magician Woundology to a participant, and what \u201cTrim Tabs\u201d to adopt to help facilitate that wound.<\/li>\n<li>how to apply your knowledge of the Sovereign Woundology to a participant through your tone of voice.<\/li>\n<li>how to \u201ccast\u201d your compassionate voice, so that you can create the required level of support for your participant while still being heard by everyone in the room.<\/li>\n<li>how to apply your knowledge of the Lover Woundology by supporting your participant\u2019s flow of emotion while at the same time keeping the process on track and on time.<\/li>\n<li>how to take your participant into more emotion or out of emotion.<\/li>\n<li>how to apply your knowledge of the Warrior Woundology by providing your participant with maximum choice as a way to bring more Warrior energy on a Master Overlay

of watching the Switch process transform the participant\u2019s experience of almost any difficult emotion or issue.<\/li>\n<li>how to help a stoic participant sink into deeper emotion.<\/li>\n<li>how to use the Warrior energy of the Metaphorical Pull-Out process to protect and rescue a participant with troublesome somatic events happening in the body.<\/li>\n<li>the power of helping a participant set a new boundary to protect and prevent further harm from happening.<\/li>\n<li>the use of Trim Tabs to enhance your own emotional approach to a participant who triggers you.<\/li>\n<li>how to work with sensitive information on the participant\u2019s Confidential Information sheet.<\/li>\n<li>how to \u201clean in\u201d or \u201clean out\u201d of your own emotional reaction to the participant, or the participant\u2019s issue, in order to empower the way you facilitate.<\/li>\n<li>how to shift the experience of \u201cleaning out of something harmful\u201d to \u201cleaning into something helpful.<\/li>\n<li>which archetypes are an easy \u201clean\u201d for you and which are more difficult.<\/li>\n<li>how to bring up whichever archetypal energies are difficult for you to employ in your facilitation.<\/li>\n<li>how to put \u201cinto your back pocket\u201d your own predictions or reactions to the participant\u2019s want.<\/li>\n<li>how to deal with issues that are never safe to work in a Shadow Work process.<\/li>\n<li>how to offer your support to the participant without making yourself the judge of whether or not they are doing \u201cgood work.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>how to turn your participant\u2019s comments about a part into messages which the part player can deliver and thereby deepen the process.<\/li>\n<li>how to see the three Loops which you have learned in the BFT, the Connection Loop, the Independence Loop and the Security Loop in action, together with ways to bring in whichever loop might be \u201ca quart low\u201d in your participant\u2019s process.<\/li>\n<li>how to discover the incredible depth in a What\u2019s at Risk Process, both for you and for your participant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>As you are facilitating processes at the <a

your facilitation.<\/li>\n<li>that \u201cyou can do it\u201d if you have the right support present.<\/li>\n<li>some deeper applications of the four-directional model by showing you ways of seeing whatever dynamics are presented by the participant in the four directions or in the loops, or in one of the twelve types.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>When you are being facilitated as the participant, you can have a very powerful experience for your own growth.

We can be \u201cright in your ear\u201d or we can give you lots of space and provide you with help only when you ask for it.
