The Creative Astrologer: Effective Single Session Counseling

by Noel Tyl

Counseling astrologers can now take advantage of one of the newest and most exciting paradigms in modern the efficacy of single session therapeutic success. This groundbreaking work is written by Noel Tyl, one of the world’s most respected astrologers, adding to his list of twenty-three texts that have informed two generations of astrologers. Over 700 creative connections are offered in this text to guide astrologers through planetary and aspect symbolisms into a deep analysis of the human condition. As part of modern astrological practice and in the context of actual client-session transcripts―the first ever presented in the literature―Tyl presents numerous clearly developed techniques,

―Preparation for consultation
―Techniques for questioning 
―Methods for inviting disclosure
―Presentation skills
―Effective ways to explore therapeutic connections Along with analysis, remediation, and healing, Tyl discusses the difficult topic of the practicality of behavioral predictions, how to frame them within client realities, and how to invite involvement from the client. Astrology is presented here in its most creative and constructive context, in which therapeutic holistic consultation is far more important than the abject description of varied chart factors.

[Graisi · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It didn't really teach me much I didn't already know.

One part which I strongly disagree with is the suggestion that we should lie about research. First, it's wrong to lie, second we could get caught, and third, if we are caught, it only serves to further malign the profession in a world that already mostly treats us like we're crazy.

So I only made it about halfway through the book, and maybe I could have learned something if I'd finished it, but after the author brags about lying to a client, I put the book down, and won't read anything more by this author.

At least I got it on sale, so I didn't spend much money on it.
