Psychotherapy in a Time when the Familiar is Dying - Steffi Bednarek

In this workshop we ask: what is the role of psychotherapy in times of extreme upheaval? And who or what needs to change in times of change?

Analytical psychologist James HIllman says:

“By not recognising that the soul is also in the world, therapy can't do its job anymore. The buildings are sick, the institutions are sick, the banking system's sick, the schools, the streets - the sickness is out there”

How do we attend this sickness out there?

What tools have we got that help us to lift our gaze from the individual client and attend to the wounds in the collective culture? And which aspects of our profession may collude with this cultural malaise?

Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event

• widening perspective on the professionals entanglement with a cultural paradigm that is death bringing
• raising awareness of the mental health impact of the Metacrisis
• awareness about colonial and anthropocentric outlooks in psychotherapy

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

• All mental health professionals, counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers
