Supporting Presence, Awareness, Connection, and Embodiment

 

An Inner Development Program of Support and Self-Discovery for Therapists on the Personal, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Levels

This 6-class experiential program offers an immersive group experience to explore our shared humanity as psychotherapists.  This inside-out learning program is designed to cultivate space for self-care, community support, and deepening vitality in our professional role as therapists, focusing on three levels of our human experience: the personal, interpersonal & transpersonal.

 

Often, therapists focus so much on learning interventions to use with clients, that they leave out their own experience.  Research shows that nearly half of clinicians in the U.S. experience burnout, affecting both their personal and professional well-being.  In this program, we’ll examine the common internal challenges therapists face and explore how developing greater self-awareness around these patterns can enhance both clinical effectiveness and long-term resilience.

 

Rooted in relational, humanistic, psychodynamic, countertransference-focused, and mindfulness-based psychological orientations, this program offers an in-depth exploration into what’s happening inside of us, as therapists, as we are in relationship with clients. 

This was the most expansive, clarifying, and healing weekend I’ve experienced in a long time. I left feeling more grounded, more connected, and more inspired—in my work and in myself.
