“A broken heart is the worst. It’s like having broken ribs. Nobody can see it, but it hurts every time you breathe.” —Unknown
The pain of the heart is a central concern in psychotherapy. It is rooted both within and between us—in what goes on inside of us and in what unfolds in our relationships with others.
Issues like estrangement, betrayal, grief, ambiguous loss, and mistreatment are painful yet universal experiences. It is important that clinicians have effective ways to support and be with these types of deep heartbreak and pain.
We are offering our next online workshop that will give participants immediately useful clinical strategies for these issues.
In this Chairwork Psychotherapy workshop, we will draw on the wisdom of Psychodrama, Gestalt Therapy, and the Four Dialogues to explore powerful ways of helping people heal broken, damaged, and traumatized hearts.
Topics covered will include:
Grief and Loss – Using Role Reversal dialogues (Sadness)
Mistreatment and Abuse – Using Confrontation Dialogues (Anger and Fear)
Difficult Relationships – Using Role Reversal and Self-Doubling (Frustration)
Mixed Feelings – Using Rhombic Dialogues (Ambivalence)
Change and Betrayal – Using Vector Dialogues (Shock)
