E-H Institute Proudly Welcomes: E. Mark Stern, PhD as Opening Keynote Speaker for EHI:7
Dr. Stern's Keynote Presentation
"Grow Old Along With Me: Psychotherapist Looks at His Own Aging"
"Elders, defying their forgetfulness, become the tellers of passionate tales… Alternative realities are a means to soul making." Dr. Stern states that he has come to appreciate the unique poetics of a tousled mind and that pain and suffering, too, can move us into an unfamiliar paradigm. He states that "through an acceptance of the vitality of dying, we once again know the world."
EHI is excited to have Dr. Stern present the opening keynote at this year's upcoming EHI Conference on November 15/16, 2013. The EHI Conference is two days of speakers and sessions held at EHI/AgeSong on Laguna Street in San Francisco.

E-H NorthWest Upcoming Workshop Oct 26, 2013 | The Search for Authenticity: The Practice of Existential-Humanistic Approaches
Existential-Humanistic NorthWest presents
"The Search for Authenticity: The Practice of Existential-Humanistic Approaches"
EHNW in association with the Nonprofit Association of Oregon is proud to offer a day of workshops with Donald Mihaloew and Bob Edelstein entitled "The Search for Authenticity: The Practice of Existential-Humanistic Approaches" on October 26, 2013 at George Fox University in Tigard, OR.Morning Workshop 9:00am – 12:15pm
Presented by: Donald M. Mihaloew, Ed.D., LMFT, CFLE
"Reaching Out On the Inside: Processing Courage, Choice and Change While Confronting Our Shadow-Selves"
We have two egos, not one, and two unconsciouses, not none! As such, we need to know the differences and learn how to use them all. Because the brain is 80% wired for survival, we all have to dig deeply inside our Selves to come up with a notion of creation based on True Self discovery rather than on false self protection. Otherwise, we squander our Life Energy compensating for real or imagined inadequacies and settle for a life of what Freud called “normal misery”. We can only go forward by going in deeply.
Donald M. Mihaloew, Ed.D., LMFT, CFLE Don is a licensed marriage and family therapist with over forty years of practice and teaching experience in and around the northwest and overseas. Formerly of Eugene, but now residing in Bellingham, Washington, Don still commutes every week to his adjunct teaching position at Portland State University where he teaches marriage, family, and depth psychology courses in the Counselor Education Dept. there.
Don holds a B.A. in philosophy from Westminster College (Pa.), an M.Div, in theology and psychology from Princeton Theo. Sem., an M.A. and an Ed.D. in counseling psychology from the University of Oregon.
He is a clinical member of AAMFT, WAMFT, NCFR (Nat’l Coun. Of Fam. Relat.; Cert.Fam. Life.Ed.), Oregon Friends of C.G., Jung, North American Society of Adlerian Psychology, and the American Association of Humanistic Psychology. His article on The Ego and the Eternal: Ruminations on Cosmic Co-operation appeared in the Decmber,2008/January,2009 issue of AHP’s periodical “The Perspective”.

Presented by: Bob Edelstein, LMFT, MFT

He is a blogger for Psychology Today and has published a number of articles on the Existential-Humanistic Perspective, including a chapter in the upcoming second edition of the Handbook of Humanistic Psychology.Authentic engagement is the ability of a human being to access all of their inner life, and then, in the most constructive way, to express what is important to them. This workshop will examine the three facets of authentic engagement. Participants will experience the differences between each of the three facets and learn how they can facilitate their clients to experience being authentically engaged in their life.
Bob is a founding member of the Existential-Humanistic NorthWest Professional Organization and a former board member of both the Existential Humanistic Institute and the Association for Humanistic Psychology.

Kirk Schneider, PhD EHI:7 Session Outline
The Polarized Mind—Its Nature, Basis, and Therapeutic Implications
Kirk Schneider, PhD 90 minutes
Drawing from my new book The Polarized Mind: Why It’s Killing Us and What We Can Do About It, the purpose of this presentation is to discuss the nature, basis, and alleviation of psychological polarization. The presentation will emphasize experiential participation with didactic material as context. Dialogue and small group exercises will be engaged to address ways to both identify and address polarization in psychotherapy and everyday lives.Speakers and sessions are being highlighted here on our blog. Read more about the EHI7 sessions here.
Orah Krug, PhD EHI:7 Session Outline
"Contact and Context—The Paradox of Relational Presence"
Orah Krug, PhD 90 minutes
This one and a half-hour workshop will provide participants with a didactic and experiential appreciation for the dimensions of the therapeutic encounter, i.e., the “you” the “me” the “we.” Being present to all three dimensions is crucial because the therapeutic relationship, which is co-created, by therapist and client is the context for healing and change. Within a safe and intimate relationship clients can let go of past relational patterns and develop new ones by integrating previously disowned feelings and experiences. The workshop will particularly focus on how and why real presence with self, other and world is interrupted in both the client and therapist. Participants will be invited to reflect on their own personal contexts and relational styles to experientially understand how interruptions to genuine contact with clients, with self and with the world can occur.Speakers and sessions are being highlighted here on our blog. Read more about the EHI7 sessions here.
Tom Greening, PhD and Lisa Vallejos, M.A. EHI:7 Session Outline
"Existential Shattering"
Tom Greening, PhD and Lisa Vallejos, M.A. 90 minutes
This workshop will introduce the concept of Existential Shattering as conceived of by Dr. Tom Greening.

Case vignettes, personal experience and discussion will be utilized during this workshop.Speakers and sessions are being highlighted here on our blog. Read more about the EHI7 sessions here.
Bob Edelstein EHI:7 Session Outline
"Six Existential-Humanistic Philosophical Frames: Empowering the Therapist "
Bob Edelstein, LMFT, MFT - 90 min Workshop
A core tenet of the existential humanistic philosophy is that presence is a key to guiding therapeutic choices. In this workshop, the presenter will explore six philosophical frames that support the existential humanistic therapist to be more fully present with their clients. This in turn facilitates the clients to be more present with themselves and with the therapist. The six philosophical frames explored are:- Being versus Doing
- Identifying and exploring existential themes
- Process versus content
- Holding the container
- Everything is everything
- Inclusion, not amputation
