DIALOGUE IN THERAPY: THE ART OF BEING PRESENT
This introductory workshop on dialogic practice is experiential and hands-on.
It will emphasizes two aspects:
1. The Key Elements of Dialogic Practice
This relational skill set creates a dialogic space. It is the non-pathologizing foundation for responsive listening, understanding and the emergence of new possibilities of hope.
2. The Seat of the Therapist
The seat of the therapist means the ability to sustain compassion, creativity, connectedness, curiosity, courage, confidence. clarity, and calmness in difficult situations.’ The Internal family systems developer Richard Schwartz calls these”eight Cs” — “Self-Leadership.”
————
I will draw implicitly on a variety of different traditions that have informed my work. Among the influences I have accumulated are the open dialogue approach, reflecting-process work, narrative practice, relational therapy (analytically informed), and most recently, internal family systems therapy, “IFS.”
