While life continually reminds us that our lives are time-limited and that everything we do inevitably comes to an end, we often forget – or ignore – the fact that every beginning also has an ending. Many of us choose to live in denial, living in what Jean-Paul Sartre called bad faith. Conversely, the appreciation of time and the finitude of life can help us live more deliberately, the acknowledgement of our ending paradoxically adding more life to our life.How does this translate to the therapeutic encounter? Many counsellors and psychotherapists can feel ‘hemmed in’ by the prospect of time-limited therapy, most especially when the number of sessions is mandated. But in this workshop we will explore the freedoms that can be experienced when an ending is both acknowledged and agreed upon at the very beginning of a therapeutic relationship.
Alison will work with the Wheel of Existence, a framework she developed with her late father Dr Freddie Strasser, a format for understanding the existential ideas that bring life to this mode of therapy. Participants will discover how the existential themes and the practice of phenomenology interweave into an understanding of what it is to be human and how to work with our clients..
Alison Strasser DProf (Psychotherapy & Counselling), MA, BA Hons
Alison is a practising psychotherapist, coach and supervisor. She is also an educator with a passion for imparting how existential themes can be integrated into every therapeutic approach. She was instrumental in creating the existential curriculum for many counselling and psychotherapy trainings in Australia and founded Centre for Existential Practice in 2008. Her doctorate focused on the process of supervision, work that led to a framework for supervisor training, now a major component of CEP’s annual program.
