We invite you to the seminar as part of the program
"The Now-for-Next"
The main ideas that will be presented by Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb at this seminar are described in her book -
“ The Now-for-Next in Psychotherapy. Gestalt Therapy Recounted in Post Modern Society (2013))
Couple's Life -
it is a co-created improvisation,
which is the deepest dimension of social life.
The intimacy patterns and desires that lie deep behind the ego's social strategies (which actually teach us to be alone), underlie our ability to be group animals.
In fact, when we are in a couple relationship (this also refers to psychotherapy) we give our partner the access to our innermost, our sacred universe:
to our fears and desires that are connected to these fears.
Couples therapy is successful when both partners open their hearts and minds to share the other's experiences not just to heal their own wounds, as each of us waits for healing and solutions to our problems.
Being attentive to your partner's wounds and allowing yourself to be changed through them is an important aspect of a relationship.
Who is This Seminar for?
For Gestalt therapists, clinical psychologists and psychotherapists working in different modalities
For graduate students of the Gestalt therapy program
For 4th and 5th year students of psychological faculties of universities,
as well as for master's students
We will talk about the peculiarities of a couple's relationship during a crisis - for example, wartime, how a Gestalt therapist can work in this situation.
