Do you believe empathy is vitally therapeutic?
Join us for an in-depth exploration of Heinz Kohut’s legacy in the Post-Modern Era
Where we will begin each week
Listening as Curative - empathy as an observing tool
  • nonverbal communication in the waiting room        
  • multi-modal listening                        
  • conversation as listening                        
  • level of listening - content or structure?            

Talking as Curative - empathy as a mode of relating
  • anonymity, neutrality, and frustration: false gods        
  • bi-directional listening                        
  • “becoming known” as a process
  • authenticity & the therapist’s self

Doing as Curative - empathy as an instrumentality of therapeutic change
  • secondary trauma
  • structural empathy
  • mutual empathy and listening to our own selves
  • complexity & nonlinear process
