Clinical Writing Workshops
For Clinicians
A Fresh Perspective
Consultation is commonly seen as a method where practitioners present specific cases and receive constructive feedback on their techniques and approaches. Typically, many professionals turn to consultation during challenging times when they feel uncertain or overwhelmed. However, engaging in the practice of writing from the inside out provides a refreshing avenue to explore your thoughts and emotions deeply. This approach encourages you to embrace fresh ideas and develop new conceptualizations of the cases you handle, allowing for a richer understanding of the individuals you work with regularly. By reflecting on your experiences in this way, you can foster greater insight and creativity in your professional practice.
Integrating Theory & Poetry
Engaging with poetry as a means to tap into the unconscious mind, along with practicing free associative writing, can profoundly deepen our understanding of our emotional experiences during therapy sessions. By gaining insight into our own feelings and reactions, we become more equipped to support our patients on their journeys. The use of poetry to explore the depths of the unknown offers a valuable tool for clinicians, allowing for richer and more meaningful connections within the therapeutic space.
Engage in Compassionate Consultation
Compassionate consultation is a unique process that emerges from collaborative writing, where group members respond to a shared piece of poetry that resonates deeply with each individual. This creative endeavor allows participants to explore their thoughts and feelings while fostering a sense of community. Everyone in the group is encouraged to engage openly, contributing to a respectful and dignified environment where all voices are valued.
