He reminds us that “nobody bathes twice in the same river”\, explaining not only that the water in the river flows\, but that people also change from one moment to another. \n\n\n\nOur existence is always present\, initiating and encompassing all of our biological and social history. At the same time\, and while existence encompasses the past\, it is envisioned and moving towards the future. A future in which human beings do not merely move but create\, through their inherent freedom. \n\n\n\nThe 3rd World Congress of Existential Therapy that will be held in Athens in May 2023 will offer an opportunity to address the here and now while embracing our roots and building a vision towards the future. Participants will be exploring issues related to life itself and to each one’s existence\, within a vibrant Athenian context embedded in the deep historical roots that gave birth to our Western civilization. \n\n\n\nKeynote Speakers:\n\n\n\nEmmy van Deurzen\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAlfred Längle\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEHI’s Kirk Schneider \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSusana Signorelli \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nErnesto Spinelli \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nErik Craig \n\n\n\n2023 Congress Host: Hellenic Association of Existential Psychology\n\n\n\nNotable Deadlines\n\n\n\nSubmission papers being accepted through November 2022- submission portal click here! \n\n\n\nEarly Registration opens February 2023 \n\n\n\nFind out More About the Congress Here >> \n\n\n\nPlease Note: this event is not being managed by EHI.

Formerly on the adjunct graduate faculty at Antioch University and Argosy University\, he currently teaches somatic psychology in Lewis and Clark’s graduate school of counseling.  As director of the Somatic Psychotherapy Training Institute-PNW he teaches an introductory course in somatic psychotherapy\, a four-year training program in Contemporary Orgone (Reichian) Therapy\, and provides clinical supervision for both therapists seeking licensure and licensed practitioners.

The cost of a “Friday-Only” ticket is $50. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE WORKSHOP:\n\n\n\nExistential-phenomenological approaches continue to attract more and more mental health professionals from diverse orientations to enliven their work with this experiential way of understanding the human experience of their clients. \n\n\n\nA wide-range of practitioners with different therapeutic orientations are exploring this approach as a way to reach their clients in a deeper way. At the same time\, its potential is sometimes not easily recognized\, and is even seen as a challenge to more “traditional” approaches. An existential-phenomenological approach is an invitation to more deeply understand the experience of another from an inter-relational stance that not only values\, but admires the mystery of persons as well as existence itself. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will explore the main themes of this existential-phenomenological approach in a way that is accessible and in close contact to our subjective experience. At its root\, this approach invites us to begin the journey from our own subjective experience. \n\n\n\nParticipants will also deepen our understanding to the varying levels of contact involved in this approach and gain a better understanding of the worldview\, attitudes\, and methods that makes up this approach. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will be of help for mental health therapists of any orientation that wish to widen their scope of more deeply understanding another person. It will also be helpful for seasoned as well as newer therapists that are looking to deepen their comprehension and application of the existential-phenomenological approach. \n\n\n\nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE\n\n\n\nDay 1: Friday\, October 7th\, 2022 6pm-9pm \n\n\n\nInspired by Gabriel Roth’s five rhythms\, on day one we will explore existence as being made of encounters\, relations and dialogues with the world\, as well as with ourselves and others. \n\n\n\nThis will consist of a reflection with movement accompanied by meaningful music and the energy generated by the attendees. \n\n\n\nThis will be an experiential work where attendees are invited to bring comfortable clothing to dance or move around the room. Please note that there is no obligation to participate in any particular way\, in the spirit of this approach\, honor your subjective experience as it unfolds. \n\n\n\nThis evening session available as stand alone module. \n\n\n\nDay 2: Saturday\, October 8th\, 2022 9am-5pm \n\n\n\nThis day will mainly consist of lecture from Dr. Martinez-Robles where he will integrate various experiential exercises and reflections conducted in small groups. \n\n\n\nThis day will also include a live therapy demonstration where Dr. Martinez-Robles and a volunteer will carry out a full therapy session from this existential-phenomenological perspective. \n\n\n\nDay 3: Sunday\, October 9th\, 9am-12pm \n\n\n\nIn our final day of this workshop\, Dr. Martinez-Robles will conclude the lecture portion and we’ll also focus on questions from the attendees. Question themes can be related to the theoretical\, professional applications\, and/or related to the previous days’ demonstration. Through the Q&A\, we hope to further deepen different aspects of this vibrant approach to being with another person.

They are: \n\n\n\nBeing versus DoingBeing drives the therapy – not doing. Doing is secondary; it is the result of what emerges from being.Cultivation of the I-Thou RelationshipThe 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.\n\n\n\nThese frames\, attitudes\, and skills can be applied to any modality to better enhance your support and engagement with your clients.

These parts are considered full personalities\, not one dimensional characters\, that each have their own story and may need healing/unburdening. The “Self” is an inherent inner healer that does not get damaged in the same way as parts; it is resilient. We will discuss IFS concepts and interventions. \n\n\n\nMaterial to be discussed: \n\n\n\nWhat is Internal Family Systems?

This movement and action pivots on honorable deconstruction to build an alternative to supremacist ideologies in professional practice\, including research\, assessment\, therapeutic care\, scholarship\, and “super”-vision. As we rebuild\, we better position humanistic psychology (HP) to prepare for and respond to a post-humanistic world\, while addressing the existential crises of sustainability\, ecology\, global warming\, our movement away from speciesism and the rising of the post-human age of machines. With this\, we are tasked to engage ourselves as practitioners and public scholars in the world and on the edge of situated values (humanistic\, existential\, transpersonal\, spiritual) of our tradition. Calling upon Cornell West’s “organic intellectual\,” we are prepared to dive into interprofessional and interdisciplinary circles and events that this conference honors. \n\n\n\nPre-recorded presentations will be available on demand throughout the conference and for 3 months thereafter.

The discussion will be facilitated by EHNW board members\, including Bob Edelstein and Dave Fischer. Please feel free to bring a current case for which you would like some consultation\, or listen to others\, ask questions\, and contribute your comments. Due to time considerations\, not every case will likely be discussed. Our hope in hosting these salons is to create a space for practitioners and members of the EH community to gather\, socialize\, and explore meaningful topics. The conversation will be salon-style where participants share what is present for them as the conversation emerges. BiographyI am passionate about the existential-humanistic perspective in both my personal and professional life. To me\, the perspective embraces all of what it means to exist and values each unique\, individual journey. I value that we always have a choice to change our attitude and behavior\, even in the most limited of conditions or circumstances. I take on the powerful responsibility that our choice matters in that we impact the world by our feelings\, thoughts and actions. This perspective also embraces that as human beings we are always moving towards health and wholeness\, both individually and collectively. BiographyDave is a licensed psychologist\, providing compassionate and patient-centered therapy in a primary care setting. He completed a doctorate in clinical psychology and a post-doctoral fellowship in health psychology in the integrated primary care model. He currently works for Premise Health Care\, at Intel Health for Life Centers and sees clients that are Intel employees or their dependents. He engages in brief interventions\, diagnostic evaluations\, and ongoing psychotherapy for individuals\, couples\, and adolescents. Dave has experience with multi-cultural patients and can provide therapy in Spanish if needed\, as he has lived and traveled throughout Latin America. Dave has also taught a variety of psychology courses at several colleges and universities\, including coursework in clinical\, abnormal\, group\, adolescent and basic psychology. Dave received a year of specialized training and conducted academic research in psychotherapy with persons living with HIV. As a member of the American Psychological Association and board member of Existential-Humanistic Northwest\, he brings and makes space for a broad range of perspectives to each client encounter. Please refer questions to Ryan Brown via the EHNW Contact Form.  URL:https://ehinstitute.org/event/recommended-march-salon-w-ehnw/ CATEGORIES:Recommended Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ehinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/EHNW-logo-2021.png ORGANIZER;CN="Existential-Humanistic Northwest":MAILTO:https://www.ehnwpdx.org/contact-ehnw/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220212T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220212T130000 DTSTAMP:20260726T012032 CREATED:20220201T221400Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220210T235342Z UID:7252-1644660000-1644670800@ehinstitute.org SUMMARY:Recommended: Kirk Schneider's EDD at MIP DESCRIPTION:The Experiential Democracy Dialogue: Using Depth Psychology to Address Cultural and Political Divides\n\n\n\nInstructor: Kirk J. Schneider\, Ph.D Host: Manhattan Institute of Psychoanalysis\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCourse Description and Overview:This workshop will provide skills for therapists who are challenged by the cultural and political stances of their clients and how those stances manifest and potentially affect the therapeutic relationship. Dr. Schneider will introduce the concept of the “polarized mind” (the fixation on a single point of view to the utter exclusion of competing points of view)\, which he developed based on extensive existential-depth and social-psychological research on the roots of human destructiveness. Emerging from concern about the destructive effects of intra-psychic and societal polarization\, along with a resultant deep interest in helping individuals and communities depolarize\, Dr. Schneider spent over fifteen years developing a one-on-one depolarization dialogue format called “Experiential Democracy Dialogue” (detailed in his book The Depolarizing of America: A Guidebook for Social Healing). This approach is a hybrid of his experience as a leading figure in the existential-humanistic psychological and psychotherapeutic movements with his experience as a trained moderator for the nation-wide organization called “Braver Angels.” Braver Angels is a grass-roots citizens’ movement that uses a highly structured group (and individual) format to bring self-identified liberals and conservatives together for “living room” style dialogues. \n\n\n\nExperiential Democracy Dialogue\, as a one-on-one conflict mediation format\, provides a unique resource for clinicians struggling with the ways that socio-cultural and political differences show up in the therapeutic encounter. Techniques and principles from this approach can be utilized by therapists to more adaptively work with the aforementioned challenges as they arise in therapy by helping them develop skills to be more present to clients from highly contrasting backgrounds\, develop greater capacities to empathize with and find common ground with such clients\, and develop greater capacities to experience curiosity and enhance exploration with such clients who formerly elicited anguish or even revulsion. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, Dr. Schneider will outline five phases of Experiential Democracy Dialogue – Guided Visualization\, Providing Background\, Taking a Stance\, Identifying Stereotypes and Results/Discovery – and then demonstrate how to employ Experiential Democracy Dialogue in the therapeutic relationship. Participants will then be placed into dyads to role-play therapist-client\, with the “therapist” leading the pair through the five phases. Participants will then be able to reflect on and begin to integrate how utilizing Experiential Democracy Dialogue techniques and core concepts can help strengthen their therapeutic relationships with clients who hold strong cultural and political differences from them. \n\n\n\nDate/Time: Feb. 12\, 1pm-4pm EST; 10am-1pm PST \n\n\n\nLocation: Zoom \n\n\n\nCost: $90 and candidates $60 (Proof of Institute affiliation required.)  CE: 3 \n\n\n\nManhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis is recognized by the New York State Education Department as an approved provider of continuing education for LCSW\, LMSW\, LCAT\, LMHC and Licensed Psychologists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKirk J.

There is a deepening sense of isolation\, resulting in more and more people retreating into their small tribe and lesser self. In my talk\, we will explore the Buddhist teaching of Dependent Origination and its relationship with the Existential-Humanistic perspective. This talk will include research I conducted in graduate school while working in Moldova and how the EH perspective influences my work\, even before I knew what EH was.  BiographyFor over twenty-five years\, Chuck has worked in personal coaching\, workshop facilitation\, and leadership development. He has worked with private\, non-profit\, and governmental organizations. Chuck completed graduate school in clinical mental health counseling in 2012 and has been in private practice since then. His practice of Buddhism began while living in Japan from 1975-77\, and he has been practicing since then. Chuck has been pulled forward throughout his journey by committing to transforming adversity into opportunities to develop resiliency\, peace\, and harmonious connections with our natural environment and others.

Yet even with this uncertainty and fragility\, we are asked to approach our lives with tenacity\, grace and wisdom. As existential humanistic therapists we encounter the uncertainty and complexity in our clinical work everyday. We are asked to suffer alongside our clients\, and to help them increase their capacities for living\, and hopefully for a more creative life. An important capacity we need as therapists and we can lend to our clients is knowing that life’s unpredictability exceeds our capacity to control it\, that a degree of insecurity is an existential predicament and not a neurotic issue. In this presentation\, and conversation I want to put forward how we may never be successful in cultivating a unitary and internally consistent self. I pose the question: How do we develop the acceptance and tolerance for a degree of instability in our lives? \nBio: Carol Swanson has been in private practice in Portland\, OR for forty years.

How certain are you of your knowledge\, your approach\, your treatment plan? If these questions unsettle\, hooray! Therapy unsettles us. Experienced and wise therapists are fallibilists\, recognizing that our understanding of anything or anyone is only a perspective within a horizon limited by our own experience. HOLD YOUR THEORY LIGHTLY. \nThis perspective keeps us flexible and open to multiple\, emerging and expanding horizons of meaning. This also means we live and work with uncertainty and NOT KNOWING in our clinical work.

Delgado and Stefancic (2017) briefly define the CRT movement as “a collection of activists engaged in studying and transforming the relationship among race\, racism\, and power” (p. 3). Furthermore\, they note that CRT is not a unified movement and includes many variations and differing perspectives. CRT is unified by shared questions and concerns more than specific beliefs or dogma. However\, CRT theories are consistently concerned about the problem of race\, racism\, and power and how this impacts individuals\, institutions\, and society. Furthermore\, CRT purports that to understand racial disparities and other racial issues in the United States and around the world it is necessary to consider institutional racism\, systemic racism\, and issues of power. \nRecently\, CRT has come under increased scrutiny and criticism\, including arguments that CRT should be banned from being taught in schools\, universities\, and/or other settings. Many of these criticisms misrepresent CRT\, such as purporting that CRT maintains that some people are inherently inferior or racist. \nIn the first part of this workshop\, the presenters provide an overview of the primary themes of CRT. Next\, they consider criticism of CRT\, both popular and academic\, and provide some responses to these criticisms. In responding to the criticisms\, the presenters consider which are based upon false assumptions about CRT and which reflect valid criticisms. After considering the foundations and critiques of CRT\, the presenters address how CRT can be applied in clinical and training settings. \nCEs are included in the Professional Registration; there are no CEs included with the student discount. \nProfessional: 35.00 | Student: 25.00 \n  \nPlease Note: This workshop is being held by RMHCPA \, this is not an EHI event.

In-depth interviews with individuals who participated in depolarizing communication training revealed multi-dimensional aspects of tension and suffering experienced through dialogue with socio-politically different others. The study results give voice to lived first-person experiences of people who responded to the extreme U.S. political divide by engaging with interpersonal\, intrapersonal\, and transpersonal conflict. Research themes and images are presented in relation to alchemical symbols and Jungian interpretations of individuation processes.   An Invite to EHI’s Community from Presenter\, Carly Larson Solome \nHello Kirk and EHI-\nTwo years ago I received a grant from the Kristine Mann Psychoanalytic Library to study the experiences of people who attended Depolarizing workshops\, and participants came from both Braver Angels and EHI programs.
