Host: Our Friends at Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) in Portland, OR

Process is how the client expresses themselves in a session. This reveals how the client lives in the present moment. Through focusing on the client’s process, the client can expand and modify their present identity to discover more of who they are and who they want to become. This is fundamental to effective Existential-Humanistic therapy.

Through lecture, demonstration, and Q&A, participants will gain an understanding of the importance of focusing on intrapsychic and interpersonal processes and see how they can apply working with process with their clients.
