Contribution Training - An introduction

Contribution Training (CT) has its roots in Gestalt Therapy, Victor Frankl’s Logotherapy and the work of David Pellin. CT teaches people how to use the energy of their emotions therapeutically, even the difficult emotions, to make contributions. We get our needs met through these contributions and feel our life has meaning in our relationships and the wider community and world in which we live.

An integral part of CT is a set of cognitive tools including; listening skills, the emotional pendulum, a sense of purpose, feelings of accomplishment and the power of true rest. The straight forward teaching element in CT enables people to apply these tools in a wide range of life situations.

Through group work and the total learning environment people gain experience in using the tools in their daily life.
