IMPORTANT TO MEET ON TIME AND TO BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT
Thank you very much for enrolling in this unit. You are very important because we all learn with and from each other. So please make a special effort to share as much of your presence during the sessions.
PARTICIPATIVE LEARNING:
CPE/T is a collaborative learning experience where we participate and learn with and from each other. Therefore, it is essential that we be actively present. If during the session our thoughts begin to wonder, let us refocus, concentrate and be mindful. Let’s be aware and mindful that we treat each other with dignity, respect and empathy. Depending on how much we invest if how much we ill
EXPECTATIONS 400 Hours (One Unit)
15 hours of clinical work per week (15×20=300 clinical hours per unit)
4 hours in a weekly session and weekly 1 hour of individual supervision to be contracted between supervisor and supervised (5×20=100 didactic hours per unit). Trainees will also be assigned to watch some YouTube videos related to this CPE/T Unit.
HUMAN BEING HERMENEUTICS:
We are the human-text, mutually read and mutually interpreted. So, when we listen to someone else the speaker is paying attention to the way we listen. It is a relational encounter that can be either a comfortable or an uncomfortable interpersonal interaction. Because we care to grow ourselves and to grow each other, we need to be ready to give and receive constructive criticism. Therefore, we need to learn how to confront a person with care. Howard Clinebell said, “confrontation plus care equals growth.” In CPE/T under CPSP we call it “care-frontation.” (More on this will be learned along the way.)
ACTION, REFLECTION & IMPROVED ACTION:
CPE/T is not solely academic, even though it includes didactics, it is not instructor-centered. It is more person-centered. It involves a progression of reciprocity between the trainee and the group, reciprocity between the group of supervisees and the supervisor, between the supervisee and the supervisor during individual supervision. It involves action, reflection that is theological, psychological, sociological and cultural, in order to return to improved actions that are always in process. That is why it is called ACTION, REFLECTION, IMPROVED ACTION. It is personal growth in process through collaboration with each other during this unit. In summary it entails the essence of holistic empathic communication in understanding self as a caregiver and the care receiver in the pastoral event/encounter.

Using both Didactic presentations and Clinical experiences, the program integrates concepts from theology, psychology, medicine and ethics.CPT has as its main textbook “the living human documents,” – learning about oneself and others, and then learning how to embody divine presence and care to persons in various crises of life. Reflection on these experiences form the basis for individual and community growth.
