‘The Tyranny of ‘Feelings”. webinar With Peter Philippson

Since our face-to-face training is disrupted, we are offering online webinars using Zoom.  Each webinar will last 2½ hours, including a 15 minute break.  A presentation on the theme will be followed by smaller group discussions (using Zoom’s Breakout Room facility), followed by a break, then plenary questions and case consultation connected with the theme.  The plenary sessions will be recorded (apart from case consultations), and the recordings are also available to purchase.

Language All webinars will be in English.

What is the meaning of emotion in therapy? When is it important to focus on ‘feelings’ and when is it counterproductive? This in many ways seems like a ridiculous question, since ‘feelings’ are often taken as the central point of who we are and what we show in therapy. In this webinar, I want to question the assumption that emotion is necessarily central to therapy, and look at the meaningful place for emotion in both therapist and client.
