Just don’t do something, stand there! Immersion into experience is not a convenient stop on the way to real psychotherapy
Professor David Russell

Access to Lectures | Speaker

A manner of existential psychotherapy dares the self to leave itself behind and enter therapy in an attitude of poverty, a state of disturbance which can be so different to a place of charged-up consciousness of self. The paper will argue the merits of a number of psychotherapeutic strategies that work against an idea/ideal of being, as if there was a single voice of being, and which, in contrast, encourage the multifaceted experience of being.
