The Reflect/Xivity Pendulum

Recently (May 2025) I finished my doctorate within a systemic programme in the UK. During this doctorate I developed a model for structured reflectivity and reflexivity, the reflect/xivity pendulum.

In this presentation I will introduce this pendulum, and I hope to do so in an engaging and experiential way, we will work with it, please do not expect an ‘old school lecture’.

Please ‘bring’ a case to the meeting on which you would like to reflect.

About Our Presenter ~ Petra Deij

My name is Petra Deij. Let me firstly introduce myself: I am from 1966, I am white, cisgender, straight, married, mum of three adult sons; a systemic family therapist, supervisor and trainer in the Netherlands, and an EFCT, EFFT and EFIT therapist and supervisor.

I truly love my profession, since early years, probably since my childhood I have been interested in patterns. In how people can make them work, and at times, don’t know how to disentangle destructive patterns. I see my work as a systemic EFT-therapist as a chance to (re-)connect people to each other in a way that is best for them. This is sometimes best done by co-creating distance, other times by working on and increase of connection.
