This is an introductory intensive in dialogic practice. It is experiential and hands-on. There will be an emphasis on two aspects.
(1) The Key Elements of Dialogic Practice.
This practice invites the creation of a “dialogic space,” or context for listening. The relational skill set, or set of key elements, is the foundation.
(2) The Presence of the Therapist.
The focus here is on the therapist’s presence or optimal way of being. We will examine how to sustain presence or what IFS developer Richard Schwartz calls “Self-Leadership, the Eight Cs:” calmness, creativity, connectedness, curiosity, compassion, courage, confidence, and clarity in challenging clinical situations.
My framework is integrative and humanistic. I am mainly rooted in dialogic and reflecting-process work, which evolved from family therapy, but have also been trained in analytic and psychodynamic approaches, and most recently, the internal family systems approach, “IFS.”
