Description
Description: This presentation introduces a relational approach to building conscious partnerships, emphasizing the “space between” individuals as key to creating safety and connection. Core practices include structured Imago Dialog, mirroring, validation, and daily affirmations to strengthen empathy and reduce polarization. The session concludes with a Q&A on enhancing validation, problem-solving, and deepening emotional bonds through empathy.
Syllabus Description: When the Space-Between rather than the Space-Within becomes the source of experience, by implication it is the location of therapeutic intervention. This speech will discuss the shift from the individual to the relational paradigm as the new domain of therapeutic intervention.
Learning Objectives
- To describe the distinction between the individual and relational paradigm and its significance for therapeutic intervention.
- To discuss the implications of the shift for the field of mental health.
- To describe and practice a relational therapeutic intervention.
