In the ever-expanding creation of evidence-based psychotherapies, we can become so involved in learning specific techniques, that it becomes possible to lose contact with who we are as individual healers. This program series will emphasize the importance of a therapist’s unique personality and self, with a question of how to embrace this and bring these characteristics to the healing environment. Common factors in psychotherapy are so critically important, though rarely taught or emphasized. Most patients search to find a “person” who they experience as a match in some way – someone with whom they have a sense of resonance. This five-week program will delve into this idea with an emphasis on how we as therapists can retain our sense of being real people, to ourselves and for our patients.
