About the Event

In a time of unprecedented crises—climate grief, economic uncertainty, political division, and spiritual disconnection—psychotherapy must do more than deliver techniques. It must become a space for collective unlearning.

This highly experiential gathering invites clinicians to shed the inherited norms of clinical detachment, performance, and premature certainty. Instead of adding more tools to an already overcrowded toolbox, we will explore what it means to release what no longer serves us in psychotherapy: the need to fix, the illusion of objectivity, and the pressure to know.

Through an integrative, experiential framework grounded in developmental psychology, somatic healing, embodied cultural awareness, and expanded models of consciousness, participants will engage in practices that challenge dominant norms, foster relational integrity, and support their own evolution alongside their clients.

This is not a seminar to help you do more. It’s an invitation to integrate our humanity back into our therapy practice: present, curious, and alive in the face of a rapidly changing world. Together we will make space for uncertainty, complexity, and the kind of healing that emerges when we stop pretending to already know.

Live Event This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
