Episode Description
Virginia Satir is one of the key figures in the development of family therapy. She believed that a healthy family life involved an open and reciprocal sharing of affection, feelings, and love. Satir is also well known for her poem “My Declaration of Self-Esteem”. Throughout her life she worked tirelessly to support everyone she came into contact with to increase their level of comfort and joy by embracing their individuality. Satir's genuine warmth and caring was evident in her innate ability to incorporate feelings and compassion into the therapeutic relationship. She believed that caring and acceptance were key elements in helping people face their fears and open up to themselves and others. More than other therapists, Satir was a powerful voice who wholeheartedly emphasized the importance of love and nurturing as essential aspects of healing and therapy. Tune in this week as we explore Virginia Satir’s declaration of self-esteem and other aspects of her signature work.
