Most psycho-therapeutic modalities focus on single aspects of clients, which limit their access to “the whole of the client.” Somatic therapists privilege what they think of as “the body.” CBT therapists focus on cognitions. EFT therapists are most interested in the emotional lives of their clients. Etc.
In this course students will learn 11 entry points to client problems. The course begins with an overview of experience and subjectivity as gateways into the therapeutic encounter. We will address the contributions of various specializations — including CBT, EFT, AEDP, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Depth Psychology — as defining and implementing diverse points. We will then problematize the notion of specialization from humanistic/posthumanistic and decolonizing perspectives.
The course then moves into a detailed exploration of both the theory and application of 11 “Entry Points.” Participants will learn how, why, and when to probe across these diverse spectra of human experience and will develop an understanding of the meanings to expect from these distinct orders of information. At the end of the course, participants will have gained a broad, non specialized toolkit that can serve as a sound foundation for any client with any problem.
