The focus of Level 2 is on the maps of Character Theory and The Sensitivity Cycle, as well as Right Use of Power in ethical practice and extensive supervised practice with classmates.

Character refers to early learning and adaptation processes. As children, we imprint experiences that shape our neural development in ways that result in an enduring set of beliefs and perceptions. These beliefs, or implicit models, unconsciously organize our behavior resulting in automatic and habitual strategies for living that are both resourceful and limiting. Understanding character enables therapists to recognize core developmental themes and deficits and tailor their interventions accordingly.
