SUMMARY:CORONAFORUM-3 Saturday 28th March 11am
DESCRIPTION:If you could not get a place in the previous CORONAFORUM  here is another chance! \n  In recent weeks new challenges have fallen upon us\, not just as therapists\, but as inhabitants of the globe. We are experiencing anxiety\, uncertainty and fear.  We need to keep ourselves and our families safe\, while also continuing to support our clients.  We may need to change or adjust the way we practise and we may need a lot of flexibility to try to set a new routine that meets all different and new demands. \nRather than proposing guidelines or answers\, the SEA is allowing a space where those can be found together\, as a result of discussing and sharing one’s perplexities. \nThe “Coronaforum” is an on-line forum open to all\, although it must be limited to a maximum of 15 attendees.  If demand requires it\, there will be more of these in the future. \nThe “Coronaforum” will be held on-line on the ZOOM.US platform. And it is free. \nPlease register your presence here\, download the free ZOOM.US platform. You will be sent a code or a link on the day\, in order to join the meeting. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Where It Was\, Others Shall Be: Desire\, Otherness\, and the Alien inside.
DESCRIPTION:Freud’s famous motto ‘Where it was\, I shall be’ arguably set off the entire therapy enterprise on the wrong foot. It established the primacy of the self over and above the profound influences of concrete others in our life\, whether alive or dead. It also led us to believe that the unknown can be known\, that the enigma of psychic life can be translated\, and that what is other can be reduced to the same. \nDespite their protestations\, all therapeutic approaches followed suit\, via appeals to ‘evidence-based’ claims\, the wild-goose chase for ‘authenticity’\, or the fashionable delusions of integration and regulation. \nWe will explore whether a different trajectory is possible\, a reorientation from the self to affect and experiencing\, a move from self-centering to decentering and from self-boundedness to infinity and otherness. \nDrawing from post-structuralism and post-phenomenology\, we will use pair/group work\, movement\, creative writing\, dreamwork and meditation. \nManu Bazzano\nManu Bazzano is a psychotherapist\, supervisor\, visiting lecturer at Roehampton University. He co-facilitates menswork and is an internationally recognized lecturer\, author and facilitator.He has a background in philosophy and rock music and is the author and editor of several books\, including \n\nZen Poems(MQP\, 2002);\nHaiku for Lovers(MQP\, 2003);\nBuddha is Dead: Nietzsche and the Dawn of European Zen(Sussex\, 2006);\nSpectre of the Stranger: towards a Phenomenology of Hospitality (Sussex\, 2012);\nThe Speed of Angels (John Hunt\, 2013);\nAfter Mindfulness: New Perspectives on Psychology and Meditation (Palgrave MacMillan\, 2014);\nTherapy and the Counter-tradition (Routledge\, 2016);\nZen and Therapy: Heretical Perspectives (Routledge\, 2017);\nRe-visioning Person-centred Therapy (Routledge\, 2018);\nNietzsche and Psychotherapy(Routledge\, 2019)\,\nand the forthcoming Re-visioning Existential Therapy: Counter-traditional Perspectives\n\nHe is former editor of Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies and associate editor for Self & Society: Journal of Humanistic Psychology.

SUMMARY:SEA 2019 Annual Conference - Movement\, Music & Metaphor
DESCRIPTION:This year\, you’re invite you to be lyrical and poetic\, to be in motion and explore new ways of communicating\, to stretch your language\, your body\, your ears\, your knowledge\, your practice. \nOur wonderful line-up of speakers\, workshop presenters\, panellists\, poets\, dancers\, musicians and out-of-the-box thinkers! are listed below to pique your interest: \nVerity J. Gavin ~ Stuart Hanscomb ~ Oded Reitten ~ Michael Worrell ~ Michael Montgomery ~ Marion Steel ~ Manu Bazzano ~ Letizia Orlando ~ Jason Upton ~ Jamie McNulty ~ Jamie Giles ~ Donna Savery ~ Diana Mitchell ~ Devang Vaidya ~ Angelique Vagopoulou & Alja Lah… along with Andrew Lovell & Robert Taylor \nMovement… “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music”\nNothing brings me greater joy than dance.  It is my preferred art form\, it is the talent I am most envious of in other people\, it fills my daydreams and is often present in my night-time reveries.  Above all\, it is my absolute favourite means of movement… I feel unshackled and electric\, connected to myself\, at peace with my being\, able to unpick the trauma and sadness woven into my existence and to express the things for which there simply are no words.  It has been argued that body-subjectivity is far more than an awareness of the body’s position in space as it has both dynamic and affective dimensions\, as well as being a fundamentally intersubjective phenomenon.  But dance does not hold dominion over movement\, and movement – especially in the language of therapy – need not be physical at all… \nMusic… In his book Musicophillia: Tales of Music and the Brain\, Oliver Sacks writes:\n            “Music is part of being human. […]  The inexpressible depth of music\, so easy to understand and yet so inexplicable\, is due to the fact that it reproduces all the emotions of our innermost being\, but entirely without reality and remote from its pain. […] Uniquely among the arts\, it is both completely abstract and profoundly emotional.  It has no power to represent anything particular or external\, but it has a unique power to express inner states or feelings.”\nMusic can be overwhelmingly powerful.  It has driven people to the depths of madness and despair and provided the soundtrack for many a misery.  Yet it has also accompanied us through the corridors of joy and love and laughter while providing shelter\, a sense of community and belonging.  I am aware that many existential therapists are\, or were\, musicians\, professional\, amateur or aspirational\, classical\, modern\, eclectic.  As we grow and age\, what music means for us changes; how we hear what we hear\, (if we are able to hear at all) can be profoundly impacted; what we once loved and craved can become intolerable and sounds that once moved us profoundly can become noise that is utterly unbearable.  If music really is …part of being human\, how do we make sense of this in our efforts to understand the human condition? \nMetaphor… “Language is the house of being. In its home human beings dwell”\nFor most of us\, the spoken word is the sole resource we deploy in our work as therapists.  Figurative expression is often used as a way to convey what we want to say\, both to ourselves and to the other.  The use of metaphor in therapy can\, at times be invaluable; facilitating rapport between client and therapist\, enabling space to conceptualise and communicate abstract emotional states and a platform from which to vocalise our suffering for the very first time in a less direct\, and perhaps\, less distressing way.\nHowever\, it can also be a mechanism of avoidance\, a linguistic tool deployed in order to evade and obfuscate the “real issues”\, where one never genuinely has to be present in the therapeutic challenge.  When a common mother tongue is not shared the use of metaphor can dramatically increase the likelihood of misunderstanding or alienation… though it can\, on occasion\, also provide for rather mirthful confusion.  With its potential to both alienate and facilitate\, what place does metaphor have in the landscape of existential practice? \nAs in past years the conference will take place at:\nNCVO: Society Building\, 8 All Saints Street\, London\, N1 9RL\nAnd be followed by drinks across the road at The Thornhill Arms\, all are invited.

SUMMARY:Phenomenology and the Arts
DESCRIPTION:“The concept of dynamic vitality forms brings together four converging lines of thought\, namely intersubjectivity\, cross- and meta-modality\, the dynamic features of experience\, and a phenomenological focus on subjectivity. (44) The time-based arts are largely about the dynamics of experiences. Vitality forms are the working experiential units. (75)” \nDaniel Stern 2010 – Forms of Vitality: Exploring Dynamic Experience in Psychology\, the Arts\, Psychotherapy\, and Development  \nPhenomenology has a long tradition of contributing some of the most illuminating\, multidimensional and practical accounts of art and the creative process. The British Psychological Society considers the existential-phenomenological paradigm as a meta-model and relational framework of critical importance to contemporary psychology and to the scientist-practitioner model. \nPhenomenological research methodologies have long been key to performing arts research\, but despite the current emphasis in the field on phenomenologically-based approaches to health and wellbeing – such as flow and mindfulness as well as third-waves cognitive behavioural approaches – to date the contribution of phenomenological psychology and psychotherapy to performing arts medicine has been neglected. \nWhile the health benefits of art are increasingly acknowledged\, research continues to indicate that there is a high proportion of mental health disturbance and suicide rates in performing artists (Mental Health and Wellbeing Services for Performing Artists: Guidance for the Performing Arts Sector Consultation Paper\, BAPAM 2019).This is reflected in the problems that are regularly seen at the specialist clinics offered by the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM)\, a health charity for performing artists. \nThese issues are very relevant to a phenomenologically-focussed exploration. Phenomenology provides a systematic framework grounded upon embodiment and intersubjectivity which is highly sensitive and responsive to complexities\, subtleties\, shifts and ambiguities; hence it is particularly effective for the type of short-term therapeutic work supported by industry organisations such as the Royal Society of Musicians and Help Musicians UK. \nThis CPD event will consider how a phenomenological emphasis on lived experience may strengthen ethical practice and challenge stigma and the pathologisation of artists. \nWe will address how phenomenology can illuminate new and fruitful ways of thinking about and working with some of the issues that BAPAM strives to ameliorate. We will highlight four main principles of phenomenological practice: \n\nthe view of art as expansion – rather than escape\, defence or sublimation;\nthe therapeutic process as immersion in – rather than elimination of – presenting problems;\nthe therapeutic objective as symptom resolution – rather than removal;\nthe pivotal focus on the present as the interpreter of the past and indicator towards future possibilities.\n\nSEA and BAPAM share a common professional focus on how psychology and psychotherapy may best assist and sustain the arts\, and reciprocally how the arts can enrich and humanise our fields and make us more receptive practitioners. \nProgramme: \n2.00 Welcome and introduction \n2.15 Dan Hayhurst\, BAPAM Senior Manager: Caring for performers’ health \n2.45 Monia Brizzi\, Existential Counselling Psychologist: A phenomenological approach to working with performing artists \n3.15 Daniel Leech-Wilkinson\, Emeritus Professor of Music\, King’s College London: A phenomenological approach to musical experience and belief \n3.45 Mandy Burvill\, Classical Musician\, in conversation with Monia Brizzi and Daniel Leech-Wilkinson \n4.15 Stephen Johnson\, Composer\, Writer and Broadcaster: How Shostakovich changed my mind \n4.45 Miranda Jackson\, Existential Psychotherapist: Empathic understanding of the musician’s way of being: why we need to understand what it means to be a musician to be effective therapists. \n5.15 Open discussion and refreshments. \n  \n

SUMMARY:SEA Film Club – ‘WINGS OF DESIRE’ by W. Wenders (1987)
DESCRIPTION:Emmy van Deurzen \nEmmy has been an existential therapist since 1973 and she has founded several schools and many other organizations\, including the Society for Existential Analysis.  She has 17 books to her name and is Principal of the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling. \n  \n  \n \n“This movie struck a chord with me\, when I first saw it around the time we were creating the Society for Existential Analysis. The story seemed to me profoundly existential and the atmosphere created in the film felt very familiar to me.  The way in which the film gave expression to inner thoughts and fears helped me to formulate the importance of this same kind of deep reflection for psychotherapy.  It gave me confidence in the necessity and importance of that endeavour.” \n  \n  \nArt and aesthetics are inseparable from life\, they are intrinsic parts of it in fact\, and films are powerful expressions of the many facets of the lifeworld and of experience. They have the power to change our lives. \nThe SEA Film Club aims to address the question of aesthetics and art in the understanding of being human and of psychotherapy within the context of our prevailing separatist worldview in which art and aesthetics are segregated from education/work – the former trivialised as mere entertainment and spectacle\, and the latter regarded as the important and serious business of life.

SUMMARY:Art and Existence - David Cotterrell Studio Visit
DESCRIPTION:From 1905 to 1906 the poet Rainer Maria Rilke worked as sculptor’s Auguste Rodin’s studio assistant in order ‘to learn how to see’.  What type of seeing was Rilke seeking to learn in the studio of Rodin? \n\n\nArt is an intensified form of lived experience\, just like human and sentient beings are intensified forms of life.  Art has the power to open us up to a liminal space and time where conventional dichotomies of physical and mental\, material and ideal\, object and subject\, other and self\, nature and human\, etc\, dissolve\, connecting us to the paradox of interconnectedness and to a relation to life based on care\, significance and creativity.\n\n\nArt\, like phenomenology\, is an activity of realisation capable of mobilising non-localised subjectivity. It can assist us in performing an imaginative leap beyond ourselves and reconnect to ‘the otherness that is us’\, to the bigger picture to which we are always already partaking. \nHow we focus on something changes it. Art and phenomenology are creative practices that enhance our capacities to imagine\, form and receive the world\, that sensitise us to its Thou-ness and to the value and significance of all life. \nDavid Cotterrell will show some of his recent works and discuss them in an open conversation facilitated by Monia Brizzi.

SUMMARY:SEA Film Club – ‘PERSONA’ by I. Bergman (1966)
DESCRIPTION:With elements of psychological horror\, ‘Persona’ has been the subject of considerable analysis\, interpretation and debate. Released in 1966\, Persona is mesmerising\, luminous\, strange\, questioning…\nThe film\, with its themes of existential aloneness\, duality\, insanity and personal identity\, explores cinema\, the scandal of the erotic\, the polarities of violence and powerlessness\, reason and unreason\, language and silence\, the intelligible and the unintelligible. \nLike a poem it invites multiple interpretations. \n\n\n\n\nIn What is Called Thinking? Heidegger looks back through Hoelderlin to early Greek poetry and art works as revealing truth as disclosure : ‘We modern men presumably have not the slightest notion how thoughtfully the Greeks experienced their lofty poetry\, their works of art – no\, not experi- enced\, but let them stand there in the presence of their radiant appearance’. \nSo Persona appears to us: starkly beautiful\, radiant\, darkly troubling\, mysterious yet revealing… And beguiles us. \n\n\n\n\n \nMarion Steel will provide a brief introduction prior to the screening\, and facilitate a discussion after. \nMarion has worked as an editor in publishing and lived in Paris\, then Venice\, where she completed an MA in Renaissance Art. After leaving publishing she trained as an existential psychotherapist and now works within the Dept of Palliative Medicine in a central London hospital.\nShe is the author of ‘Do You Realize? A Story of Love and Grief and the Colours of Existence’. \nArt and aesthetics are inseparable from life\, they are intrinsic parts of it in fact\, and films are powerful expressions of the many facets of the lifeworld and of experience. They have the power to change our lives. \nThe SEA Film Club aims to address the question of aesthetics and art in the understanding of being human and of psychotherapy within the context of our prevailing separatist worldview in which art and aesthetics are segregated from education/work – the former trivialised as mere entertainment and spectacle\, and the latter regarded as the important and serious business of life. \nCost: £20 Member / £25 Non-Member\nThis venue is wheelchair accessible \nCPD: Participants will be emailed a 3 hour CPD certificate

SUMMARY:SEA Film Club - 'Mirror' by A. Tarkovsky (1975)
DESCRIPTION:Screenings will be preceded by a brief introduction \nOur current SEA Chair\, Natasha Synesiou will present Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1975 film Mirror and facilitate a discussion after the screening.  Natasha\, has researched and written on Tarkovsky’s films\, including a book on Mirror \nArt and aesthetics are inseparable from life\, they are intrinsic parts of it in fact\, and films are powerful expressions of the many facets of the lifeworld and of experience. They have the power to change our lives. \nThe SEA Film Club aims to address the question of aesthetics and art in the understanding of being human and of psychotherapy within the context of our prevailing separatist worldview in which art and aesthetics are segregated from education/work – the former trivialised as mere entertainment and spectacle\, and the latter regarded as the important and serious business of life. \nWriting on the cinema in the mid 1940s\, Maurice Merleau-Ponty posits time\, rhythm\, episode sequence\, shot duration and their interplay with sound and word\, as foundational elements of cinema. Thirty years later\, under the close watch of The State Committee for Cinematography\, Russian director Andrei Tarkovski sculpts Mirror from these very elements. The film\, groundbreaking for its time\, reconstructs the iconic memories and profound emotional experiences in the life of an individual\, a nation and an era. Mirror is a complex film about all our lives; it speaks of family\, polity\, culture\, war\, catastrophe\, harmony – the stuff of life that moulds and entraps us\, yet also calls us to action and freedom.  \nVout-o-Reenee is a licensed venue and sells a selection of food such as sandwiches and cheese platters.\nPlease note the venue doesn’t have any wheelchair access.\nCost (inclusive of one drink): £20 Member / £25 Non-Member \nCPD: Participants will be emailed a 3 hour CPD certificate.
