EHI Salon: The Many Faces of Resistance

ZOOOM

We will explore The Many Faces of Resistance.

The identification of the various faces of resistance is the pathway to working with these resistances to restore good contact with the environment in which we live. In other words, these various types of resistance are for the therapist to utilize with our clients to tap into the many distressing feelings evoked when the client does not have unimpeded access to what he/she wants, such as anger, confusion, resentment, disappointment, etc. These feelings, expressed in resistance, reduce the possibilities of productive contactual interactions with the environment and express the powerlessness over the outcome of these interactions. Being fully present to these ways of avoiding the negative feelings when we are not getting what we want can restore ownership of these feelings without having to resist them. Awareness, acknowledgment, experiential exercises, and acceptance can begin the necessary healing process.

Strategies that Deepen Therapeutic Presence: An Existential-Humanistic Perspective w/ Orah Krug, PhD, LMFT

Save the Date!

Online Workshop

The workshop offers practical strategies for therapists to enhance their therapeutic presence, a fundamental aspect of effective therapy. Participants will learn through discussion and demonstration how to cultivate a deeper connection with clients by actively following the therapeutic process and offering insightful process comments. Process comments deepen the work by focusing for example, not simply on the “problem” the client brings to therapy but on their way of relating to the problem.

An Existential-Humanistic approach to psychotherapy can be a foundation for all therapists seeking to do deep and life-changing work with their clients. The E-H approach is based on core ways of being and working with clients that help facilitate greater awareness, greater sense of choice, increased agency and adaptiveness and a deeper connection to self and others – all in the service of healing and growing.

Unleashing Otto Rank: The Creation of Modern Depth Therapy

An International Conference

The most brilliant of Freud's students, Otto Rank had a highly productive life as a lecturer, therapist and writer after leaving Vienna. His work greatly influenced many notable figures, including the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, the client-centered psychotherapist Carl Rogers, the existential psychoanalyst Rollo May, the existential therapist Irvin Yalom, and the cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker. It was his profound influence on May and Rogers in particular that gave birth to existential-humanistic psychology in the U.S.

EHI is excited to announce the following esteemed presenters:

Marie Becker
Sara Ekenstierna
Matthew Fox
Ludwig Janus
Robert Kramer
Kirk Schneider
Ellen Handler Spitz
Siebrecht Vanhooren

This Conference, unprecedented in the annals of both psychoanalysis and existential-humanistic psychology, will re-introduce the legacy, focus, and implications of Rank's genius for a new generation of Depth Psychologists. Specifically, the conference will focus on Rank's move from Freudian psychoanalysis to here-now experience and its foundational impact on psychospiritual healing...

The Literary Legacy of Existential Psychology w/ Dr Xuefu Wang

Join EHI for the second presentation in its International Existential Scholars Lecture Series! 

Both Lu Xun and Rollo May are existential thinkers as well as existential literacy figures. They both use metaphors to reflect on human existence. With Lu Xun’s reflection on the Chinese psyche or even the Chinese nation as a whole, he advocates for the destruction of the Iron House to set people free to live as individual humans with respect and dignity. Rollo May, in addressing the perspective of an individual being persecuted by an alienating power, touches on a related fundamental theme of humanity.
