Moniek Thunnissen, TSTA-P, (NL) 12 July

Service Description

7.00pm-9.00pm Saturday 12 July MONIEK THUNNISSEN, TSTA-P, (NL) THE WORKSHOP: Many theories on burnout deal with either the individual part (e.g., drivers or script) or with the organisational part (such as leadership or values in the organisation). Together with my colleague Marian Timmermans (TSTA Organisational), I developed a model to understand burnout from a TA perspective, as script circles of individual and organisation influencing each other. In the workshop I will present the model from both the organisational and the individual perspective. In an exercise the participants will experientially understand how these script circles work, reinforce each other, and where the points of engagement are for change. FIELDS: counselling; organisations; psychotherapy; education BIO: Moniek Thunnissen is a TSTA psychotherapist and psychiatrist and works since 1987 with TA as a method of psychotherapy with patients with personality disorders. The last 10 years she had a private practice and focussed more on teaching and supervision. In 2023 she wrote a book with a colleague from the organisational field, Marian Timmermans (TSTA), on burnout. In this book they describe how organisational/systemic structures interact with personality traits of the individual in the causes and also in the treatment of burnout. They developed a model to understand, treat, and prevent burnout, in which the main focus is to define and set boundaries. Moniek is looking forward to presenting this model at the TA Conference in Wellington. She can be reached on m.thunnissen@ziggo.nl
