For Therapists: “UNLOCKING YOUR RIGHT BRAIN”
“The analyst you become is you and you alone; you have to respect the uniqueness of your own personality…” - Wilfred Bion
An experiential learning opportunity for therapists seeking to:
Work with efficiency and economy.
Discover your own voice and distinct style.
Develop an authentic presence.
Receive knowledge through direct experience.
Cultivate therapeutic agility.
Respond expressively.
Find the rhythms and patterns in the therapeutic exchange.
Capitalize on micro-moments.
Utilize creativity and improvisation.
Demonstrate humility and integrity.
Challenge your limits.
“So it is that when the therapist does his best work, he does not experience himself as trying to change the patient, nor even experience himself as doing psychotherapy. He becomes the work.” - Sheldon Kopp, PhD
Online group sessions will include video excerpts from IS-TDP-informed therapy sessions, which will provide the material for the Balint-style group process. This group experience will offer an opportunity to develop a deeper connection to your own intrinsic and unique qualities that will enliven your therapeutic encounters.
Groups are open to licensed clinicians with a background in psychodynamic psychotherapy (particularly experiential, relational, and emotion-focussed models) and a desire to enrich their work.
