If we believe the research that the therapeutic relationship is the most important variable for positive outcomes, then cultivating an attitude of loving kindness and openheartedness to our clients is much more than a touchy-feely adornment to the techniques that presumably do the real work of therapy. In this workshop, we'll explore a Taoist approach that involves a few simple breathing and imagery techniques that can allow us to better maintain our emotional balance and let our heart's energy flow out to our clients without getting emotionally caught up in their suffering. You'll also learn how to teach these same methods to your clients, so that they, too, can become less focused on self and more connected with others.
