“Minding the Heart” is a 6-month course which meets weekly over zoom and focuses on the core skills needed to work experientially in therapy. This course is a deep-dive into theory and technique, and integrates from AEDP, IFS, and Coherence Therapy. I began teaching a study group called “Minding the Heart” 10 years ago in my office, and it has evolved every year. Click here for my ‘video invitation’ to this group, where I will go into more detail. And if you’d like to join the group, click here to fill out ‘interest form,’ where I will begin getting a sense of what times and dates will work best for people.
I am trying a new format this year and here’s what it will look like:
–15-30 minutes of video content to watch before meetings. Because I want our time together ‘live’ to be as valuable as possible, each week I’ll be sending out some training content (usually one of my youtube videos, but occasionally a video I’ve recorded that isn’t published). That way we can use our time together to expand upon that content (rather than re-tell it). That way we can cover more ground! 😉
–1 hour “large group” meeting. Each week we will meet as a large group (exactly how large will depend on how much interest there is in the group). This is where I’ll be giving the core lecture for that week, one that expands upon the “homework” video (but dives into other topics as well that aren’t covered by my youtube vids).
–1 hour “small group” meeting. In order to have more time together, we will be meeting each week in smaller groups (perhaps around 25). During this time I will offer to do live demos on participants, while also creating chances to break out into dyads to practice together. During this group everyone will be asked to have their videos on so we can all connect.
Here are the details:
DATES: early-November – mid-May
COST: $100/week (I do charged for missed groups, but try to send out recordings whenever possible)
TIMES:
—1 hr. “big group” meeting will be on Mondays from 10:30-11:30am CST (recordings available if you miss).
—1 hr. “small group” meeting later in week (you would be assigned a group depending on the times you indicate you can make during the poll / interest form.)
