Apprenticing
with Linda Marks
Many
people want to study EKP for both personal growth and professional
practice. From 1990 - 2001, Linda ran a 3-year, 1000 hour apprentice
training program, which offered a certification as an EKP Body
Psychotherapist. The combination of being a mom to a young child (born
in 1996) and then a single mom (1998), required Linda to pull back from
the demands of apprenticing therapists in an intensive program.
In the years between
1998 and 2005, people continued to request formal training in EKP, but
Linda could not accommodate these requests.
In
2006, so many people approached her and asked to be trained in EKP that
she realized she needed to reconsider offering training. Because her
son was still young, the 3-year, 1000 hour format was not feasible to
administer. So, Linda proposed a slower paced, longer term training
process that involved meeting once a month over more than three years.
Given the life demands of many of the people who wanted to apprentice,
this model proved to be win-win for all. A new apprentice group started
training in January 2006.
Linda is forming a list
of people who were not able to be part of the apprentice group that
started in 2006, but would still like to train. There will be another
apprentice group starting at some point in the reasonably near future.
The exact start date has not yet been determined.
