CPD & Training Programme 2019

These 9 Master Workshops provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at our practice and re-view assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist.

“Group supervision sessions seek to provide participants with a safe, yet challenging, space, to consider and address the issues that arise for them when discussing their own, or another participant’s, experience of being a therapist. They provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at their practice and re-view their assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist and doing therapy. Group supervision can be a valuable and enriching experience for all participants since even though the focus may be on a particular supervisee’s account, it is likely that all participants will discover broader issues and concerns that resonate with their own encounters with clients.” Prof. Ernesto Spinelli

Dates: 2nd November, 30th November

Ten monthly Saturdays from 10.30am to 12.30pm

These 9 Master Workshops provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at our practice and re-view assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist.

“Group supervision sessions seek to provide participants with a safe, yet challenging, space, to consider and address the issues that arise for them when discussing their own, or another participant’s, experience of being a therapist. They provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at their practice and re-view their assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist and doing therapy. Group supervision can be a valuable and enriching experience for all participants since even though the focus may be on a particular supervisee’s account, it is likely that all participants will discover broader issues and concerns that resonate with their own encounters with clients.” Prof. Ernesto Spinelli

An experiential and theoretical workshop facilitated by Manu Bazzano

Informed by post-phenomenology, other-centred psychoanalysis as well as counter-traditional philosophy, we will invesigate the above three topics through dyad work, group work and discussion.

Dreams, traditionally the province of psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy – can be  explored phenomenologically rather than being interpreted.

The Daimonic is any natural function which can invade the person. It is essential to human experience. To be overwhelmed by the daimonic opens the door to psychosis; to suppress it leads us to apathy, or the absence of pathos – i.e., suffering, passion and ‘pathology’.

Existential approaches have rationalized the Daimonic, while Jungian analysis has understood it in terms of archetypes. In what other way can they be understood and experienced? The Dionysian is closely linked to the Daimonic, with one fundamental difference: it cannot be rationalized away or purified through catharsis but requires embracing the tragic joy of existence, the person’s identification with the wider domain of organismic experiencing. *

Manu Bazzano is a psychotherapist, supervisor, visiting lecturer at Roehampton University. He facilitates men’s groups as well as workshops on Zen and Phenomenology in the UK and abroad. He has a background in philosophy and rock music and is the author and editor of several books, including Haiku for Lovers (Ed); The Speed of Angels; Zen Poems (Ed); Re-visioning Person-centred Therapy (Ed); Zen and Therapy: Heretical Perspectives; Therapy and the Counter-tradition (co-editor), Nietzsche and Psychotherapy and the forthcoming Re-visioning Existential Therapy. He has been editor of Person- Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies, and is associate editor for Self & Society. He studied Eastern  contemplative practices since 1980 and in 2004 was ordained in the Soto and Rinzai traditions of Zen Buddhism. www.manubazzano.com.
