Psychology with Soul


An introduction to seeing the client's presentation with a psycho-spiritual lens: a mindfulness practice for yourself and your clients, maps and models that can be integrated into your current theoretical knowledge and practice, and experiential exploration from the Psychosynthesis framework as formulated by Italian psychiatrist, Roberto Assagiolo early last century and developed further by his followers.

Psychosynthesis emphasizes working in the present and honouring the uniqueness and common humanity in ourselves and in those that seek help from us. We can acknowledge the past that has helped shaped our experience of ourselves and also our future, the emergence of what we might be if we align with our values and co-operate with the evolution of our potential.

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Albert Einstein
