EHNW Fall Workshop: Kirk Schneider “Awakening Life-Enhancing Anxiety in our Profession and World: An Existential-Depth Approach”

Keynote Speaker: Kirk Schneider, PhD

Host: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW)

This day-long workshop will explore how anxiety is hitting the roof in our practices and world precisely because we so often fail to address the underlying or primal anxiety that fuels greater and more destructive anxiety. That which Kirk terms “life-enhancing anxiety,” is a level of anxiety that enables us to live with and make the best of the depth and mystery of existence. Or to put it more concretely, it fosters our capacity to live more on the edge of wonder and discovery rather than terror and overwhelm.

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.
