SUMMARY:Webinar: Beyond the Binary: Exploring the diversity of gender\, sexuality and relationships
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nHow do we meet our clients and each other beyond the shadow of our socially sanctioned norms regarding gender\, sexuality and relationships?  \n\n\n\nThis webinar is offered as a support to working with clients who identify outside of traditional norms of male/female\, heterosexual and/or monogamous. This webinar offers a comprehensive exploration of what exists beyond the binary\, creating a platform for open dialogue and introspective examination.  \n\n\n\nGestalt therapy is uniquely suited for working safely with diversity and responding to change: by being present to what is here and now\, by understanding that nothing in this world is as simple as our binary thinking would have us believe. Phenomenology invites gestalt therapists to attend to our own bodies and somatic experiences as well as our client’s\, this offers a unique perspective for gender diverse experiencing. Relational dynamics calls for us to be aware of our own internalised gendered stereotypes and biases and how we\, like all humans\, treat people differently based on the way we gender people in our thoughts.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of benefit not only to our clients\, colleagues\, family and friends identifying outside of the traditional norms but to everyone we relate to including our relationship to ourselves\, no matter how we identify. Living beyond the binary of our own lives can free up the felt sense of our own gendered bodies and sexual identification making us more available for authentic and meaningful relating. \n\n\n\nAbout your Presenter: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRochelle\, Roch (she/they)\, is a PACFA Clinical psychotherapist for individuals\, couples\, and families. Roch is also an educator\, trainer\, group facilitator and supervisor. Roch has extensive training in Gender Affirming Practice from ACON\, AusPath\, and the University of Melbourne\, and has had many years of training in and teaching gestalt psychotherapy.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Clinical Hospitality in a Contemporary World
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar we will discuss the attitudinal stance of Clinical hospitality.  The stance of Clinical Hospitality offers a needed antidote amongst the prevailing culture of immediacy\, demand for rapid outcomes\, influencers and an increasing intolerance and misunderstanding of human suffering in the current zeitgeist of a popularized mental health narrative.  We will consider what constitutes clinical hospitality and how comfortably this attitude sits next to the foundational principles of Gestalt Therapy and theory. \n\n\n\nI believe Clinical Hospitality is a relational attitude that creates a fundamental and necessary scaffolding for the therapeutic alliance. Supporting the clinician towards developing an efficacious but pragmatic\, ethical and fallible stance in the therapeutic engagement. \n\n\n\nFurther to the consideration of therapeutic engagement\, we will discuss the pernicious impact of reductionism on a relational stance and consider the potential effects of the plethora of shorthand teleological approaches and techniques so prevalent in our psychotherapy culture and how the attitude of clinical hospitality can provide some ballast within this particular context for the therapeutic alliance \n\n\n\nCost: \n\n\n\nGANZ Members: $45. Non-GANZ Members: $95.  \n\n\n\nPurchase your tickets here! \n\n\n\nAbout your Presenter: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClaire Taubert BBSc\, BSc\, B.Ed(Counselling) MAPS. GANZ \n\n\n\nClaire is the Co-founder and past Managing Director of Gestalt Therapy Australia (GTA). She has been involved in the Australian and International Gestalt community as a student\, trainer\, therapist\, supervisor\, mentor and member of the GANZ council for over 30 years.

Claire is interested by how early developmental and attachment experience manifests as enduring relational capacity and resource in adulthood. Her interests in the developmental processes extends to the challenge of supervising and mentoring clinician’s with a particular focus on the personal and professional developmental trajectory of this unique journey\, and how this informs an understanding and integration of the clinician’s ethical relational sensibility in their work.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Depth Enquiry™ - EMDR with a Gestalt twist 
DESCRIPTION:This three hour interactive workshop will give a brief overview of the Depth Enquiry process.  It will include some theory\, demonstrations\, case studies and plenty of time for questions.  Bring an open mind\, lots of questions and you will leave with some new thoughts about how to use bilateral stimulation in your work and when to think about plunging in deeper. Depth Enquiry is a powerful therapeutic approach to resolving trauma and underlying shame. Amanda has developed Depth Enquiry during the course of her work with clients suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and a wide range of trauma-related symptoms.  Depth Enquiry unblocks resistant traumas and negative beliefs using a gentle and supportive process.  Depth Enquiry builds on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) principles and is further informed by the theories and approaches of Bessel van der Kolk\, Pat Ogden and Peter Levine.  Since 2011 Amanda has worked to meld these perspectives into a deep and safe method of therapeutic inquiry; one that retains as its underpinning the holistic tenets of Gestalt psychotherapy. \n\n\n\nAbout your Presenter:   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmanda’s early start in the human growth and wellbeing communities holds her in good stead for quickly and deeply understanding complex presenting issues in therapy and counselling. Her passion for the process means she is continually questioning the current modalities and developing these further if necessary to meet the needs of her clients. An example is her development of Depth Enquiry\, from its basis in EMDR. She was a trainer of Gestalt therapists for five years and is a clinical supervisor for therapists.Amanda holds a BVA (Hons) degree and an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy. She’s a Clinical Member of PACFA\, Reg. 21766\, and is a PACFA Accredited Supervisor. \n\n\n\nAmanda’s next three day Depth Enquiry training is 11th-13th October 2024 in Melbourne. \n\n\n\nCost: \n\n\n\nGANZ Members: $45.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Grieving Self - In and of the Field
DESCRIPTION:Grief cascades across and through every life\, human and non-human. Its waters flow over\, between and around the rocks of being\, down the river of inevitable loss\, change and death. Sometimes the waters rage\, sometimes howl\, other times trickle\, almost imperceptibly. Always here\, always there. \n\n\n\nGrief and grieving emerge from the relational and phenomenal field\, influenced by the cultural\, ecological\, and situational. Grief surfaces within a context of a particular seen or unseen loss\, transition or death\, and longs to be tended by a coexisting dialogical soul. In a culture in which suffering is avoided and rituals are few\, this can be hard to find\, even in therapy. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, grief and loss will be foregrounded as a core human experience which holds fundamental significance. This webinar will be a mix of presentation\, breakout sharing and discussion in order for participants to learn and engage with grief and grieving to support therapeutic practice. \n\n\n\nCost: \n\n\n\nGANZ Members: $45. Non-GANZ Members: $95. \n\n\n\nPurchase your ticket here! \n\n\n\nAbout your Presenter:   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTracy Santos MGestTherapy\, BSW\, AMHSW\, DipST\, EMDRAA \n\n\n\nTracy Santos is a psychotherapist\, mental health social worker\, supervisor and educator who has been in private practice for 22 years. She is on faculty at Gestalt Therapy Brisbane and lectured for many years at Southern Cross University on grief and trauma informed practice in the human services. \n\n\n\nTracy has specialised in the field of death and dying\, grief and bereavement for the last 18 years\, working with individuals\, couples and groups.
