EP17 Speech 09 - In-Depth Thinking on the Role of Psychotherapy Today - Esther Perel, MA, LMFT
Original Program Date :
Length: 53:45
Description:
In her new Audible original audio series: Where Should We Begin, Esther Perel invites the listener into the raw intimate space of real anonymous couples who are participating in unscripted counseling sessions. In opening the closed doors of psychotherapy, she stands to redefine not only the boundaries of therapy, but also the communal nature of healing. The project raises some timely questions: If one of therapy's aims is to create a space for meaningful, challenging and authentic conversations between partners, can it broaden its aim and address relationships in today’s complex world in general. Can it serve to strengthen and improve human connection in society at large? What does therapy offer that differs from coaching? Where do thought leaders and psychotherapists intersect?
Educational Objectives:
- Describe how to take therapeutic wisdom into the public space while preserving its integrity.
- Demonstrate how technology can help foster relational intelligence and communal support for couples.
