Saturdays with Andre: Context is Everything

3/7/2015 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm CST

Context is everything.

We know that people's behavior, mindsets and attitudes are in direct relationship with their context. As the Context of diversity and inclusion has changed, there has seemed
to be little in the approaches that training and trainers have done to meet these new dynamics.

Becoming The Real Therapist

3/13/2015 - 9:00am to 4:00pm CDT

This day-long workshop will challenge the current model and process of therapy. We will explore:

Adlerian psychology’s incongruity with the current medical model and its emphasis on pathology
The switch in the therapist role based on the current science of chaos
The personal and professional shift from a "psychology of objectivity, neutrality and non-engagement" to a "psychology of subjectivity, increased alignment, and shared process"
How we can adopt underused and wasted subjectivity to increase movement in therapy

Skills and Knowledge:

This workshop will provide both theoretical and experiential learning about the healing power of creativity for clients who have a history of trauma. This will include Adlerian perspectives on the importance of creativity in human growth and change, along with emerging research about the impacts of trauma on the brain. We will explore recent findings about the relative effectiveness of talk therapy alone as opposed to therapy which includes creative and non-verbal approaches to healing trauma.
