DESCRIPTION:Building Bridges Between Coaching and Psychotherapy\nSpeaker: Yannick Jacob\nMany counsellors\, psychotherapists and analysts are critical towards the coaching profession\, and\n(while arguably less so) vice versa. And while there are important ethical concerns about life coaches\noverstepping lines\, their limited training as well as a number of other issues\, our clients have a lot to\ngain from practitioners engaging in collaborative dialogue about the potential meeting points\,\nparallels and differences in the way that we approach our work. Our aim for this session is to\nilluminate the range of what coaching may be based on various definitions from literature\, the\nspectrum of coaching approaches and an insight into the coaching industry\, and in doing so explore\nhow coaches and therapists may build bridges in the interest of our clients’ wellbeing. In the process\nwe’ll discuss the potential value of integrative approaches to helping-by-talking and briefly introduce\nthe concept of positive existentialism (an integration of Positive Psychology and Existentialism). \nYannick Jacob is an Existential Coach (MA)\, Positive Psychologist (MSc)\, Coach Trainer & Supervisor (DIP) and Mediator (SPCP Dispute Resolution). He’s the Program Director of the the Accredited Certificate in Integrative Coaching at the School of Positive Transformation\, for which he’s gathered many of the world’s most influential coaches\, and he’s the former Programme Leader of the MSc Coaching Psychology at the University of East London. \nYannick is part of the teaching faculties at The School of Life\, Animas Centre for Coaching and the International Centre for Coaching Supervision. Yannick’s love for coaching\, positive existential thought and personal development is contagious and he loves to challenge people to think\, learn & grow\, to explore the BIG questions and to appreciate the whole spectrum of what life has to offer. As a coach Yannick partners with his clients to help them lead and navigate their lives and careers\, to make big decisions and\, ultimately\, find ways to be happy. His long-term vision is to inspire the world to embrace their human condition in all its beautiful and challenging facets and to create a more meaningful human experience. \nYannick presents at conferences internationally and his book\, An Introduction to Existential Coaching\, was published by Routledge\, the world’s leading academic publisher. Learn more about Yannick and his work at www.existential.coach and www.RocketSupervision.com. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom.

Donna Christina Savery. Sep 15th 7:30pm-9:30pm. DESCRIPTION:Echoism and the echositic-narcissistic complex (ENC)\nDonna Christina Savery\n\nSep 15th @ 7:30pm-9:30pm on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Christina Savery is an existential therapist and daseinsanalyst of the Zurich seminar having studied with Alice Holzhey Kunz. She works in private practice in the UK and teaches and supervises internationally. \nFollowing her initial seminar in April this year on Echoism\, in which she introduced the key ideas in her book\, Echoism: The silenced response to narcissism\, Donna returns to present a more detailed exploration into Echoism and in particular the echoistic-narcissistic complex (ENC). \nDrawing upon over ten years of research\, in which she has specialised in working with both Echoistic and Narciasistic clients\, she uses a combination of clinical examples\, existential and psychoanalytic ideas and the daseinsanalytic method to bring a deep understanding to the ways in which narcissists and echoists relate and are drawn to one another. Her research shows that each can play an active role\, however unconsciously\, in drawing out the corresponding character traits in others and indeed in the therapist. She underpins her observations with key theoretical ideas from Sartre on Being and The Look. \nDonna will discuss how she works with trainees and therapists in supervision\, to recognise their own echoistic and narcissistic tendencies and to be aware of how these may present in the work\, and how to work with them in a way that is of benefit to clients who are susceptible to these very challenging issues in themselves and in their relationship dynamics with others. \nThe session will be 2 hours and will include a 30 minute discussion. \nIt is not necessary to have read the book to attend\, but reading chapters 8 and 9 beforehand will certainly enhance the discussion..

DESCRIPTION:A Sightless World – Readdressing Sight-Loss with Some Merleau-Ponty Ideas\nPaulo Ribeiro \nPaulo is an existential psychotherapist currently working for Headstrong Counselling\, an extremely busy low-cost therapy service in London\, where he sees clients with complex presentations\, mostly personality disorders\, major depression and anxiety and gender identity. Before that\, Paulo worked for the RNIB – Royal National Institute for Blind People and for Hammersmith and Fulham Mind. \nPaulo holds a BA in Social Communication\, a Master’s in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and he is at present finishing an advanced diploma in Existential psychotherapy at Regent’s School of Psychology and Psychotherapy. \nBlindness and psychotherapy have been present in Paulo’s life for a few years. Paulo lost his sight six years ago\, and in the process of his rehabilitation\, and through his therapeutic work\, Paulo discovered that embodiment speaks in many ways in a therapeutic encounter. \nIn this talk\, Paulo will be sharing a bit of his life and the process of his rehabilitation as a sightless psychotherapist and how he found out\, through the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty\, that our body speaks in many ways where vision\, and visibility\, in  their absence\, open a world of new possibilities to a being-in-the-world. He will emphasise the process of his rehabilitation and re-engagement with the world through some Maurice Merleau-Ponty ideas such as body intentionality and the concepts of concrete and abstract movements. \nPaulo believes that our current situation with the Corona virus\, where the embodied aspect of therapy has transitioned from body encounter to digital encounter\, mirror\, to some extent\, a phenomenon present between client and therapist when technology replaces physicality – i.e. phone sessions\, online sessions. \nAt the RNIB\, Paulo counselled individuals  affected by sight-loss over the phone. He will be sharing his experience during this time. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom.

His research focuses on Kierkegaard studies for tracing the existential foundations of person-centred therapy. Other interests lie at the intersection of therapy with philosophy\, arts\, psychoanalysis\, and critical social theory. \nThinking about race is hard. Talking\, harder. In trying to express a point of view\, one stumbles into saying something controversial. It is ironic when this occurs\, but sometimes the irony is lost and offence is caused. Devang\, therefore\, considered four alternatives for the title of his seminar. Each of these relates to prevailing forms of irony in society that are relevant to race: the irony of equality ethics\, the irony of diversity ethics\, the irony of political discourse\, and the irony of social identity. These are general forms of what he refers to as the category of ‘irony of public life’. By irony he means any state of affairs that verges on contradicting its meaningfulness. \nIn contrast to the ‘irony of public life’\, Devang draws upon contemporary Kierkegaardian scholarship to propose a different category: existential irony. He suggest existential irony as a kind of capability or an act rather than a state of affairs. It is a kind of practice that sits between meditation\, dreaming\, art\, ethics\, and encounter therapy. It aims to generate first-person accounts (in contrast to abstract social critiques) of moments of uncanniness in our life. In these moments\, the borders of our practical context are allowed to fall apart. As our assertions of knowledge begin to dissolve\, our individual and collective complicity is revealed in perpetuating ignorance and alienation in relation to ourselves and each other. \nExistential irony involves cultivating perceptual openness\, building emotional stamina\, and welcoming moments of our own de-centering. It can be one way to catch our selves red-handed\, without condemning or condoning\, in acts of what Sartre might call ‘bad faith’\, Heidegger ‘inauthenticity’\, Nietzsche ‘ressentiment’\, and Kierkegaard ‘spiritlessness’. Encountering this fallibility is not easy. The failure rate is high. But it may eventually lead to a kind of waking up that comes with giving up the pretense of ‘woke posturing’\, virtue-signalling\, and political correctness that we have occasionally witnessed after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. \nRather than stifle or evacuate our vital cathartic impulses\, existential irony can include these to show us possibilities of directly engaging with the struggle for recognition of disenfranchised communities\, and our collective emancipation from the clutches of hyper-capitalism and neoliberalism. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom.

He currently lectures at Regent’s University and sees clients in private practice. Jason has practised Kum Nye and other Tibetan movement practices for over 17 years. He is also doing a PhD at SOAS which takes a phenomenological perspective on early Tibetan Buddhist practices which involve the body and sense perception. \n  \nI will look at the therapeutic effects of a Tibetan movement practice called Kum Nye. Having experienced the tremendous benefits of Kum Nye during my own recovery from trauma\, I have begun to explore the integration of Kum Nye movement with my client work. During the seminar\, I will give an introduction to Kum Nye and shows videos of some of the movements. I will offer my reflection upon how clinical issues such as trauma and depression may affect one’s embodied way of being-in-the-world through an application of Merleau-Ponty’s concept of the body schema. Drawing upon personal experience and clinical material\, I propose that Kum Nye movement can help overcome sedimented habits in the body schema and allow for a return to an expressive sense of meaning-making in and through the body. I will discuss my experience of how such an embodied approach can be integrated into therapy sessions with clients. \nThe seminar will include an opportunity to experience a few Kum Nye movements\, so I would encourage participants to find an appropriate space where they can stand and move their arms freely. The movements will be simple and combined with slow and fast breathing. Most people should be able to perform them at a level comfortable for their ability. \nThis event will take place on Zoom.

Get yourself a drink\, a meal or your favourite snack\, sit comfortably and simply show up. \nTitle: Existential Analysis and Racism\n\nIf psychotherapy is anything\, it is ethical.  Both therapist and client are engaged in the question “how am I to live?”\, and perhaps more particularly\, “how am I to live in the face of you?“.  Recent events in the US and UK have foregrounded the issue of racism\, particularly as it relates to the experience of being black in a post-colonial Western world.  As existential psychotherapists\, inheritors of a tradition that is dominated by the thinking of white\, Western men\, what is our response to be?  This symposium will provide a forum to begin exploring this question.\n\n\nHosted by Alexander Morriss\, a UKCP accredited existential psychotherapist in private practice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a FREE event.  Please register your attendance. \nThis event will take place on Zoom.

This session will look at your rights as a self-employed person\, what financial support is available to you and how your business accounts and relationship with HMRC might be affected. There will be ample time for Questions and Answers and additionally\, if you would prefer to speak privately to Paul about your personal financial affairs then he will be happy to make himself available at the end of the session. \n\n\nPaul Silver-Myer is both an accountant and a UKCP registered existential psychotherapist. Some years back he realised that half of his accountancy practice was about numbers\, but the other half was about the people behind those numbers yet 99% of his accountancy training was only about the former. So he signed up for a foundation course in counselling and the rest\, as they say\, is history. \nIn addition to a small therapy practice he also prepares tax returns for over 100 therapists and therapy organisations\, being in the fortunate position of clearly understanding the nature of being in business as a counsellor or therapist.  \n\n  \nThis event will be held on Zoom.

KEN BRADFORD PhD May 30th 6-8pm DESCRIPTION:  \n \nNatural resilience is the healing expression of authentic presence when we stop talking to ourself and open to experience as it is. The truth is we cannot always trust our mind to see things clearly\, since the human predicament finds us in the position of seeing through a glass darkly: seeing others\, the world and ourself through projections we may not be aware we are projecting. Simultaneously\, the truth is we can always trust the sane nature of our mind\, which is innately open\, clear\, and spontaneously responsive in a compassionate\, healing direction. A vital challenge for existentially-robust therapy is warming-up to\, tuning-in to\, and letting go of habitual patterns that cloud authentic presence. The challenge of recognising authentic presence is opening to the natural freedom and ease of being as such. \n  \n  \nWe cannot make ourself be resilient\, sane or free\, but we can open to a way of being in which resilience\, sanity and freedom come to us. Within the openness of spacious awareness\, we are better able to assist the opening of others. This follow-up experientially-keyed session is devoted to opening to the true\, innately resilient nature of our otherwise distracted mind. Just this is the unconditional basis for practicing the most robust forms of therapy and meditation. \nThe event will take place on ZOOM. A link will be sent to attendees the day before. \nKen Bradford\, PhD is an author\, teacher and contemplative yogin integrating Buddhist\, Dzogchen and Existential thought and practice. Formerly\, he maintained a psychotherapy practice in the San Francisco Bay area and was Adjunct Professor at John F. Kennedy University and California Institute of Integral Studies.

May 29th 6-8pm DESCRIPTION:  \nBoth Existential and Buddhist psychologies recognise an authentic potentiality\, sanity and natural resilience to the human mind. Although in Existential thought\, the notion of “true nature” is debatable and not always clearly understood. Still\, both traditions respect that the mind’s natural openness is obscured by habitual forms of mental-emotional reactivity that become reified into a fixed “me.” The radical thought of Martin Heidegger and still more remarkable insight of the Buddha see through the reification of divided selfhood to the authentically open\, unfettered and free nature of the mind.\nThis evening will explore the Buddha’s 2 key insights into the human condition. 1) We have a deep-seated feeling there is something incomplete or wrong with “me” that leaves us with a sense of discontent and wanting we spend our lives striving to fill. 2) Preoccupied with this striving\, we lose touch with the natural resilience\, innate sense of well-being\, and untethered freedom of our authentic nature. Therapy and meditation are practices of opening ourself to the way things actually are rather than how we (compulsively) think they are. \nThis evening provides a theoretical foundation for Saturday’s follow-up. \nThe event will take place on ZOOM.

Our expectations of therapy\, whether they were met or not\, can shape our ethos and style of working with clients. Indeed our entire stance towards therapy can be determined in response to our own therapist’s value system. We don’t often reflect on how much our therapists may have taught us about practising therapy. We are likely to be taking up theoretical\, philosophical\, methodological\, and ethical elements that are resonant – favourably or unfavourably – with our own experiences as clients.   \n  \n \nDevang Vaidya is a person-centred existential psychotherapist based in London. \n  \nThere are limited spaces\, so please register your presence here. \nYou will be sent a ZOOM code or link on the day\, in order to join the meeting. \nIf you are interested in being the next speaker on our Symposium night\, \nplease contact:  events@existentialanalysis.org.uk\n  URL:https://community.existentialanalysis.org.uk/event/symposium-may-22nd-7pm-9pm LOCATION:ONLINE EVENT\, zoom.us CATEGORIES:Symposium ORGANIZER;CN="Thoraya Alkasab":MAILTO:events@existentialanalysis.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200510T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200510T120000 DTSTAMP:20200428T112510Z CREATED:20200428T112322Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200428T112510Z UID:10000042-1589104800-1589112000@community.existentialanalysis.org.uk SUMMARY:Existential Reflections on Motherhood May 10th 10am-12noon DESCRIPTION:A Forum for Existential Psychotherapists who are mothers of children of up to ten years old\, to explore experiences during the coronavirus lockdown.\n  \nFacilitated by Monia Brizzi & Naomi Stadlen\nWe warmly invite existential psychotherapists who are mothers of young children under 10 to join us in a forum to explore experiences during the coronavirus lockdown. Some of us are used to leading busy professional lives and counted on nurseries\, nannies and schools to look after our children during the day\, but\, for the moment\, this has changed.
