Supervision Seminars in the Philosophy and Practice of the TAAM Approach  Facilitated by Nash, LCAT and Wise, ATR-BC, LCAT  Sunday, May 20, 2012 10:00 – 1:00

 (the remaining Spring 2012 session takes place on June 10)

 These seminars offer both didactic and experiential opportunities to enhance the participant’s understanding of the guiding concepts which lie at the heart of TAAM’s integrative approach. 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 utilize 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’s 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 the needs of 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.   Location: 21 West 86th Street Suite 208 Between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West, NYC -- You have received this message because you are on the mailing list of the Therapeutic Arts Alliance Manhattan.
