Therapist Webinar: Depolarizing of America for Ourselves and Our Clients

Saturday, July 11th, 2020 - ZOOM

EHI & EHNW PRESENT:

"The Depolarizing of America for Ourselves and Our Clients:
A Webinar for Therapists"
Developed and Facilitated by Dr. Kirk Schneider and Bob Edelstein, LMFT

This webinar will present mental health practitioners with a conflict mediation approach that can help them work with the sense of otherness both in themselves and with their clients. This webinar will be both didactic and experiential.

When: July 11, 2020, 10am – 1pm PST
Where: Online Utilizing Zoom
Cost: $27.50

Workshop Registration >>

In the wake of the pandemic and recent racial, political, and economic upheaval in our country, this approach addresses practitioners' work and lives. Drawing from his new book The Depolarizing of America: A Guidebook for Social Healing, Kirk Schneider, along with colleague Bob Edelstein, will demonstrate this new conflict mediation approach--titled the "Experiential Democracy Dialogue." We will also provide a space for dyads for audience members to try the skills on their own.

The Experiential Democracy Dialogue provides a supportive, highly structured format that invites people from contrasting cultural and ideological backgrounds to learn about and understand each other, rather than automatically being closed to each other's point of view. The upshot of the approach is that it can notably improve people's capacities to humanize each other and to achieve common ground. For practitioners, specifically, it can enhance capabilities to be more present, both within oneself and with one's clients, which is foundational to effective practice. The approach can also help practitioners to work with the divisiveness within themselves in regards to the polarized issues in society, which in turn may help with their work with their clients.

Companion Book

The companion book that this training is based on is the newly published, The Depolarizing of America: A Guidebook for Social Healing. This book is not necessary to join the training! However it is recommended as a reference and context if you will be using the skills outlined in this workshop outside the workshop setting.

Workshop Format

This online workshop will be both didactic and experiential utilizing Zoom Meeting and a format that will include all attendees being assigned to a dyad to work the approach with another attendee.
To particpate in the dyad portion of this webinar attendees must have a Zoom account(free), Zoom Desktop Client or Zoom Mobile App and be signed into their app.

Envisioning Eldership

Embracing a Joyous View of Aging and Living - An Existential, Process-Oriented Approach

More than ever, we crave a new definition of aging that borrows from the great thinkers, artists, philosophers and wisdom traditions throughout history. Blending existential, process-oriented psychotherapeutic insights and centuries of philosophical wisdom with modern pragmatism learned from being a CEO of eldercare communities in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a quarter of a century, this workshop seeks a thoughtful map on aging, not a "To Do" list that illuminates yet another reason to fail.

This workshop uses a process-oriented approach to outline an attitude towards life that embraces our collected years of life experience and expresses a deep appreciation for its richness and complexity. An attitude that elevates us above the beleaguered worlds of "good and bad" and "likes and dislikes" to welcome our world and the people inside it just as we are. It introduces us to Eldership as a way of being and the practice of living life.

Eldership isn't a state, but a process. It's not something to be achieved, but practiced. We don't educate others how to be elders, but instead open the space with guidance for their own unique journey.

Our Presenter: Nader Shabahangi, PhD, RCFE

Nader R. Shabahangi, Ph.D., RCFE, received his doctorate from Stanford University and is a licensed psychotherapist. His multicultural background has made him an advocate for different marginalized groups of society throughout his adult life. In the 1980's he worked with abused children and teenagers and led anticipatory bereavement groups for Coming Home Hospice. In 1992 he founded the non-profit organization Pacific Institute with the purpose of training psychotherapists in a multicultural, humanistic approach to counseling and to provide affordable therapy services to the many diverse groups living in San Francisco.

In 1994, noticing the often inhumane treatment of the elderly living in institutions, he started to develop an innovative Gerontological Wellness Program in order to provide emotional support and mental health care services for the elderly. In 1997, together with his two brothers, Nader opened a residential care home for the elderly in San Francisco called Hayes Valley Care, where he could, along with the Pacific Institute Internship team, implement the Gerontological Wellness Program.

Join Christine & Louis, EHI, and existential therapists for this experiential workshop and day of dynamic engagement. 

This workshop is intended for clinicians who are interested in the dynamic, challenging territory of couples' therapy. Along with helping clinicians more effectively navigate that territory, the workshop will also offer insights into our own journeys of intimacy. We begin with the human dilemma that we cannot open to love without opening to where we have been wounded in love. We all have dragons: their job is to protect the gold; in the most fundamental sense, the continued existence of our essential self.

We will explore the following themes utilizing didactic elements and case material reinforced by experiential exercises and demonstrations:

• The necessity that intimate partners must encounter each other’s core wounds.
• The inevitability of the experience of betrayal and the archetypal relationship between, trust, betrayal, and forgiveness.
• Collaborative approaches to the essential task of repair.
• Intimacy as a container for deep healing and ground for individuation.
• The morning sessions will focus on the relationship between core wounds and the dragons that guard them. Then we will examine examples of the dynamic dance that evolves between partners. The afternoon sessions will focus on the dynamics of trust, betrayal, and forgiveness. Themes will include the five dangers of betrayal and the four tasks of repair. We will offer reflections on the role of responsibility, accountability, and sovereignty in forging intimacy.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the workshop participants will be able to:

1. Identify at least one (1) way that core wounds shape a person’s self-protective behavioral style (‘Dragon’).
2. Demonstrate at least one (1) way to “Read between the lines”- recognize how present complaints can point to formative core wounds.
3. Name at least one (1) way that self-protective behavior patterns create a mutually reinforcing self-fulfilling prophecy (‘Dance’).
4. Explain at least one (1) way how the ‘dance’ can point to healing opportunities between partners.
5. Demonstrate at least two (2) interventions to shift the self-fulfilling adversarial cycle to a collaborative conversation between partners.
6. Identify at least one (1) way how their personal dragon informs their counter-transference responses to clients.
7. Demonstrate at least one (1) way to identify how present time interactions with intimate partners trigger core wounds.
8. List the five (5) dangers of betrayal.
9. State the four (4) tasks of repair.
10. Identify at least one (1) way how the dangers of betrayal block repair (moving beyond victim-perpetrator polarity).
11. Specify at least one (1) way how shame can interfere with the experience of appropriate regret/remorse.
12. Describe at least two (2) interventions that support the emotional risks required for effective repair.

We all want to have a good life. But how can we reach this goal? Upon what does it depend to get fulfillment in life? – The good life depends upon much more from ourselves than we often think. In large part, it depends upon really becoming ourselves. Only when we can make use of what we are essentially, in the deep inner self, and only if we can thus bring ourselves to the world, "to existence," can we get back a feeling that all our endeavors are worth being lived. The concept of "inner consent" is key to such existential access, or the life well lived. It embraces our freedom as well as our relationship and feelings, our perception of the world's reality and possible development in the future including the meaning of existence. This feeling of inner consent reflects our basic capacity to deal with the world and ourselves. Further, it forms a matrix for motivation and practical guidance of life but also for the understanding and treatment of psychopathology. In short, the question of inner consent forms the basis for the structural model of modern Existential Analytical Psychotherapy. Friday, 8pm-9pm Social Hour: Mingle, Nosh and Network Saturday, December 1st  9:00AM - 5:30PM ALFRIED LANGLE'S WORKSHOP & PANEL/Q&A FOLLOWING Saturday, 10am - 1pm*: Expanding Humanistic Practice with Existential Analysis and Logotherapy Alfried Längle, Vienna *CEs pending This workshop focuses on building a bridge between the given humanistic understanding of treatment and the add-ons by Existential Analysis and Logotherapy. Furthermore, it offers the opportunity to arrive at a closer view of four key existential themes. These four themes derive from a phenomenological understanding of human experience, and form an inescapable life-challenge with which each person must confront. They are: the world, being alive, being a person, and needing meaning. The workshop will focus on the application of these themes to psychotherapy and their implication for psychopathology. Thus, it opens access to introspective uses of the existential themes and for experiments in everyday living. A demonstration of the approach as well as small group work will be included. 1pm-2:30pm LUNCH BREAK- On our own 2:30pm-4:30pm EHI Panel with Alfried 4:30pm-5:30pm Q&A / Closure

‘ALWAYS GOING HOME’: HUMAN EVOLUTION AND DIGITAL REVOLUTION

Existential Therapists Explore Concerns of the Modern World

The German poet Novalis, when asked where he thinks the human being is going, answered that ‘we are always going home’. Artists and thinkers from many different cultures have expressed similarly that in our seeking a ‘home’ we are searching for a place where we belong. This search relates to our need to feel connected, both in terms of relationships to other people and in terms of a need to contribute to our humanity.

As existential thinkers and therapists we ask ourselves how the digital revolution helps and hinders our need to find ‘home’. Is the digital revolution contributing to our human evolution to be more at home in this world or does it prevent us from being truly in relationship with others, from experiencing a sense of awe and wonder? Do we feel there are more opportunities to connect through the many digital means afforded us today?

On this day of our gathering, we will try to explore and find answers to these questions and more. Our hope is to understand more deeply for what we humans long as we are ‘on our way home’.

 Exploring the Intersection of the Digital Age and the E-H Therapeutic Perspective
