- Short Description:
- Watzlawick explores the “therapy of as if,” showing how behaving as if change is possible can shift a client’s reality. Drawing from philosophy, hypnotherapy, and paradox, he illustrates how small interventions—like self-fulfilling prophecies or shared metaphors—can break unhelpful cycles. Zerka Moreno adds insights from action-based methods, including role reversal and sociodrama, to deepen perspective and foster movement.

- Short Description:
- Panelists share diverse approaches to treating depression and anxiety, from breath work and emotional release to cognitive and systemic strategies. They explore how failed solutions can maintain distress, and the value of tailoring treatment to each client’s lived context. The conversation also underscores the importance of including significant others in the healing process. Moderated by Michael Yapko, PhD.
