In Being Human, psychotherapist, writer and facilitator Emma Philbin Bowman combines live sessions with presentations on Teachable. This live offering will explore the rich territory of our relational lives with the support of a small, intentional group.
Drawing on an integrative model informed by neuroscience and Kohut’s self-psychology, this 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 kernels on Teachable - and a live session, where Emma will present the theme and blend group work with more intimate inquiry exercises. (Access to course content is available for two years).
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 our value to one another and how different forms of connection enable us to thrive across the arc of our lives.
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.
‘Emma's ability to communicate complex concepts and themes in simple language is a gift...’ Maria, Cork
