Concepts to be explored will include: Creating the arc of exploration Metaphoric bridging through the arts - Imagination as a force for healing Empathic attunement – facilitating emotional communication Flexibility of expression – the experience of immediacy Building compassionate communities – the heart of the group experience We offer a Humanistic/Existential approach to the understanding of trauma and a belief in the capacity to heal through relationship and meaning-making. The creative arts and group processing will be interwoven throughout the seminars. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of their own clinical or professional challenges to the sessions as an opportunity to explore, understand and apply the TAAM approach to resolving specific concerns. Special focus will include preparation and development of the group leader utilizing therapeutic presence as armature for non-formulaic immediacy and response. Learning to listen deeply and resonate intuitively with others will be developed to help open the capacity to intervene creatively and therapeutically to whatever may present in the moment. Through immersion in a parallel process within these seminars, participants will come to incorporate ways of thinking, being and working that will provide transformative healing journeys.
