Brown Bag Lunch Series - Courage of Unknowing: Curiosity and the Therapist's Art of Listening

Therapists often feel pressure to understand quickly, offer insight, or help patients find solutions. Psychodynamic listening asks something different—and often more difficult: to resist the urge to know and instead remain creatively curious, tolerating uncertainty long enough to discover how the patient experiences their own mind.

Join us for an engaging discussion on the role of not-knowing in psychodynamic listening.

When the mind feels unsafe, it chooses stability over change. In therapy, this can look like stuckness.

But what if stuckness is not resistance to change— but a signal of something deeper?

A thought-provoking conference on:
• the art of listening
• the meaning behind impasse
• how therapists use their own emotional responses to understand patients more deeply
