This program is designed to deepen clinicians’ understanding of rupture and repair within therapeutic relationships, emphasizing personal reflection, power dynamics, and clinical application. The series begins with inner awareness, guiding participants to recognize how their internal systems respond to rupture. As ruptures often stem from misattunements or unmet relational needs. When left unresolved, they harm the alliance and outcomes, but when repaired, they can strengthen resilience and deepen trust.
Power dynamics will be addressed within each session as they are central to understanding rupture, particularly across different relational contexts—client, supervisor, partner, etc. Concepts such as the privileged and subjugated self-help clinicians recognize how social power influences therapeutic engagement. Clinicians will be encouraged to examine their own histories with rupture (ages 0–22), how protectors may show up in response to exiles that have been created in response to this history of rupture.
Tools for presence, self-awareness, and attuned intervention are provided to enhance therapeutic effectiveness. Through practical strategies, clinicians learn to stay embodied during rupture, support client repair, and integrate cultural sensitivity and power analysis to improve therapeutic outcomes.
