EHNW Online Workshop

The aim of the EHNW Case Consultation Salon is to explore therapy cases, including client presenting issues and potential therapeutic responses. The salon is rooted in the Existential-Humanistic perspective, prioritizing depth, relational presence, process, and the dialogical relationship.

EHNW’s March Online Lunch n Learn

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.

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.

$10 – $25
