programme brief

 

when we engage with another person, be it in a therapeutic setting or otherwise, one of the most important aspects is our ‘presence’ in the space we share with them.

 

this learning programme explores what being there and presence means to us. we also explore  ‘presence’ specifically in a therapeutic context. we seek to understand  — what a ‘therapeutic alliance’ is, the role it plays in building trust & enabling strong therapeutic outcomes, and ways through which we can build the alliance.

 

through the course of the programme, we break down various fundamental skills including — building rapport, setting intent, expressing empathy, and engaging in a way that feels genuine to ourselves.
