Workshop Abstract
|
This workshop explores the transformative power of connection within the therapeutic relationship, grounded in the principles of Gestalt psychotherapy. Participants will learn how to co-create a safe, empathic, and present therapeutic space that fosters awareness, emotional validation, and authentic connection. Offering a comprehensive approach to understanding addiction as functional creative adjustment. Rather than focusing solely on "treatment," this approach emphasizes creating the conditions for deep, transformative healing by honoring the body's wisdom, the resilience of the nervous system, and the importance of relational attunement. The workshop delves into the dynamic interplay of trauma, addiction, and relational healing through experiential exercises and case examples. Attendees will gain practical tools to deepen empathy and embody authenticity.
