About
Therapeutic presence (TP) lies at the heart of positive and effective therapeutic relationships. In this two-part masterclass we will explore an empirically-validated model of TP as a map to build and strengthen the skills of presence with clients. We will explore the neurophysiological principles of creating safety with TP, based on concepts such as co-regulation and neuroception of safety stemming from polyvagal theory (Geller & Porges, 2014). Evidence-based practices from Dr. Geller’s book, ‘A Practical Guide for Cultivating Therapeutic Presence’, such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and experiential/creative practices will be incorporated. We will also discuss challenges to TP and how to stay open and engaged when working with challenging clients and working through therapeutic ruptures.
