Ernesto Spinelli
UNCERTAINTY
Exploring our responses
to an unpredictable world.
"We live in an unpredictable, ever-changing world and our response to this uncertainty has never been more relevant, both in general terms and as expressed by clients in the therapeutic relationship.
"The workshops will present key ideas from existential psychotherapy, focusing on particular issues raised by uncertainty and its relationship to clients and therapists in their struggle to engage with one another and the life-issues being presented.
"They will address how best to draw out and work with the (often) implicit fears and concerns experienced by clients when facing uncertainty, so that the creative and constructive possibilities of uncertainty may be enhanced and incorporated into their worldviews.
"The seminars will utilise theoretical and case study discussion as well as practical exercises. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own case material - and life experiences of uncertainty - for discussion."
Ernesto Spinelli is one of the leading contemporary trainers and theorists of existential analysis as applied to psychology and psychotherapy and, more recently, the related arenas of coaching, facilitation and conflict mediation.
Supervision with Ernesto will focus on:
- The implicit assumptions, beliefs, values, attitudes, demands and conflicting stances (i.e. the worldview) embedded in the relational realms of the therapist/client and the therapist/ client/supervisor
- The attempt to assist the therapist to explore and specify the client's experience of the therapist, the therapist’s experience of the client, and the relational qualities that emerge from the therapeutic relationship co-created by the therapist and client
- The immediacy of the therapeutic relationship and what it can reveal experientially to the client and therapist alike
Coaching with Ernesto will focus on:
- The aims and objectives of the Existential perspective on coaching where the overarching aim is to facilitate the means by which clients become much more explicitly aware of their unique and underlying worldview. They can then be more able to "own" and challenge the ambiguities, contradictions and paradoxes that both structure and maintain it
- The concept of conflict as an expression of dividedness. Existential Coaching argues that unless the issues and sources of dividedness are properly addressed, all interventions are doomed to provide, at best, merely a brief and inadequate resolution
- The relational worldview of the coachee which emerges from, and is an expression of, relations between persons. Success today, at every level, calls for an awareness of and sensitivity to individual and cultural diversity so that we can better respond to the distinctive responsibilities and demands that arise from a global perspective and economy
