在實踐薩提亞的過程中，以前會注重工具的掌握，現(xiàn)在越來越感受到“信念”的重要，心中有信念，手中的助人工具就能夠發(fā)揮更大的作用，當(dāng)我們?nèi)绻畛鲞@些信念，就能達到薩提亞女士所倡導(dǎo)內(nèi)在和諧、人際和睦的狀態(tài)。從今天起，與大家探討每一條信念?？纯茨囊粭l信念最觸動你？

對人的信念：

1. 我們都是同一生命力的明證。We are all manifestations of the same life-force.
2. 人類的過程是普遍性的，因此適用于一切情況、文化及環(huán)境。Human processes are universal and therefore applicable in different settings, cultures and circumstances
3. 人們由于相同而有所聯(lián)接，由于相異而有所成長。People connect on the basis of sameness and grow on the basis of being different.
4. 父母在任何時候都是盡他們所能去做。Parents do the best they can at any given time.
5. 父母常重復(fù)在他們成長過程中熟悉的形態(tài)，即使那些形態(tài)是沒有功能的。Parents often repeat he familiar patterns from their growing up times, even if the patterns are dysfunctinal.
6. 感受是屬于我們的，我們都擁有它們。Feelings belong to us; we all have them.
7. 人性本善。他們需要找尋自己的寶藏，以便聯(lián)結(jié)及確認他們的自我價值。People are basically good. They need to find their own treasure to connect and validate their own self-worth.
8. 健康的人際關(guān)系是建立在平等的價值上。Healthy human relationships are built on equality of value.

對“應(yīng)對”的信念：

1. 我們擁有一切所需的內(nèi)在資源，得以成功地應(yīng)對及成長。We all have internal resources we need in order to cope successfully and to grow.
2. 問題 (困難) 不是問題，如何應(yīng)對問題才是問題。The problem is not the problem, coping is the problem.
3. 多半的人傾向選擇對他而言是熟悉的而非舒適的應(yīng)對，尤其在壓力之下。Most people choose familiarity over comfort, especially during times of stress.
4. 我們有許多選擇，特別是面對壓力做出適當(dāng)響應(yīng)而非對情況做出實時反應(yīng)。We have choices, especially in terms of responding to stress instead of reacting to situations.
5. 治療的主要目標(biāo)是各人可以為自己做出選擇。A major goal of therapy is to become one's own choice maker.
6. 自我價值高低呈現(xiàn)在應(yīng)對的方式上，自我價值愈高，應(yīng)對的方式愈人性化。Coping is the manifestation of the level of self-worth. The higher one's self-worth, the more wholesome the coping.

對“改變”的信念：

1. 改變是有可能的，就算外在的改變有限，內(nèi)在的改變還是可能的。Change is possible. Even if external change is limited, internal change is possible.
2. “希望”是“改變”最重要的成分。Hope is significant component or ingredient for change.
3. 我們不能改變過去已發(fā)生的事件，只能改變那些事件對我們的影響。We cannot change the past events, only the impact they have on us.
4. 欣賞并接受“過去”可以增加我們支配“現(xiàn)在”的能力。Appreciating and accepting the past increases our ability to manage our present.
5. 所謂全人性的目標(biāo)是接受父母也是人，而不是只以他們扮演的角色來相處。One goal in moving towards wholeness is to accept our parental figures as people and meet them at their level of personhood rather than only in their roles.
6. 過程是“改變”的途徑，故事內(nèi)容形成情境，而“改變”就在那里發(fā)生。Process is the avenue of change. Content forms the context in which change can take place.
7. 薩提亞模式的主要目標(biāo)是達到表里一致及高的自我價值。Congruence and high self-esteem are major goals in the Satir Model.
8. 治療需要把重點放在健康及正向積極的部分，而非病理負面的部分。Therapy needs to focus on health and possibilities instead of pathology.
9. 癥狀是潛意識對問題的解決之道。核對現(xiàn)有問題如何成為案主的難題，認真看待問題，但治療工作卻未必要局限在此范圍內(nèi)發(fā)生。The symptom is a subconscious soltion to the problem. Check how the presenting problem is a problem for the client. Take the problem seriously, but not necessarily as the area on which the therapeutic work needs to take place.
10. “運用自己”是治療師最有力的治療工具。The therapist's use of the Self is the greatest thapeutic tool he/she has.
