Virginia Satir was the “mother” of family therapy. She was one of the “magicians” who healed people with mental problems with such ease that Bandler and Grinder the creators of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) modeled. Here are some important quotes and concepts from her:

  • People are capable of change – that is to say we can learn new ways of behavior and being no matter how old we are – yes, you cam teach an old dog new tricks.
  • The only real certainty in life is change. This could have come straight out of the I Ching (pronounced EE Ching or Ye Jing but never Eye Ching) the classic of changes the ancient Chinese oracle and book of philosophy whose roots go back to more than three thousand years ago.
  • Contact cannot be made from a defensive stance.
  • Self-worth is the crucial factor in terms of what happens inside and between people.
  • We all have resources inside which can be tapped. These resources include our abilities : to explore; imagine; feel; see; hear; express; ask; act; choose and more.
  • All children are geared toward expression. If they are not expressing themselves, they have beem stifled by family rules.
  • The key to a healthy family is a happy marriage.
  • Risk is a part of life. It rejuvenates us.
