3 Key Frames, Attitudes, and Skills of Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy

Facilitated by: Bob Edelstein, LMFT, Founder of EHNW and Former President

This presentation will define, discuss, and demonstrate these three key frames, attitudes, and skills of existential-humanistic psychotherapy. They are:

• Being versus Doing
  Being drives the therapy – not doing. Doing is secondary; it is the result of what emerges from being.
• Cultivation of the I-Thou Relationship
  The I-Thou relationship refers to the sacredness of the relationship, experienced by both client and therapist, that goes beyond any overt transaction.
• Deep Listening Deep listening is the ability to listen with a deeply attuned sensitivity to the clients’ experience.

These frames, attitudes, and skills can be applied to any modality to better enhance your support and engagement with your clients.
