Join us for an enlightening session on “Navigating the Unspoken: Attraction in the Therapeutic Relationship,” a continuation of our thought-provoking series exploring the complexities of therapeutic dynamics. This event, featuring renowned speakers Keemar Keemar and John Wilson, delves into the nuanced experiences of attraction between therapists and clients within the consulting room, a topic often shrouded in silence and misunderstanding.
Attraction in the therapeutic setting is a multifaceted phenomenon that can manifest in various forms, from physical to intellectual, emotional to spiritual. It’s a reality that, while common, remains largely unaddressed within the framework of professional ethics and personal introspection. This session aims to break the silence, offering a safe space for therapists to explore, understand, and navigate these feelings.
Learning Objectives
- The different forms of attraction and their implications for therapy.
- Reflective practices for therapists to explore their own feelings and responses.
- Ethical considerations and guidelines for managing attraction in therapy.
- Considerations of professional boundaries.
- Insights from the group.
