‘Emma's ability to communicate complex concepts and themes in simple language is a gift...’

In Being Human, psychotherapist, writer and facilitator Emma Philbin Bowman explores the rich territory of our relational lives within the support of a small, intentional group.
Drawing on an integrative model based in self-psychology and object relations, this highly accessible course explores six forms of connection each of us need in order to thrive: containment, mirroring, twinship, adversity, resonance and partnership. Participants will develop a clear, intuitive understanding of each form and its unique value and potency in our lives with others.
Each week will have two elements: the week's content - in clear accessible modules on Teachable - and a live session, where Emma will present the theme and blend group work with more intimate inquiry exercises.
This material is evocative but gentle, providing a refreshing and spacious lens by which to revisit our lives with others. Originally inspired by Stephen Cope’s exceptional template in Soul Friends, this course celebrates how different forms of connection enable us to thrive across the arc of our lives. These themes are hugely rich to explore in a small group, and much of our learning will arise together.
Being Human draws on the self-object work of Heinz Kohut, and is also informed by Winnicott, Hillman and contemporary neuroscience. It is designed to benefit participants in their personal process and in their work with others. Special IAHIP pricing available to August 30th. [CPD Certs available]
This course is also available as a stand-alone offering without live sessions – email: emmapb@me.com for info or see my school on teachable.

We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all."
