A “Book Club meets Master Class” on experiential therapies!

15 expert-led sessions. 15 transformative therapies. One chance to learn them all.

 

 
 
Experiential Psychotherapy Training sponsored by The NYU Silver School of Social Work & Deep Eddy Psychotherapy
 
 

About The Series

A rare opportunity to incorporate the thinking and techniques of many experiential methodologies into your work.

This monthly series blends the intimacy of a book club with the depth of a master class—offering an accessible, immersive way to explore the 15 cutting-edge experiential modalities from the newly published Experiential Therapies for Treating Trauma (Routledge, 2024).

Each month we’ll read one chapter on a particular experiential therapy, followed by a live 90-minute Zoom session with the author to dive deep into the real-world practice of that approach. Through guided exploration and analysis of the case example from the chapter, we’ll learn how to bring each modality to life in our own clinical work.

This is not a trauma training; it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the experiential methods themselves—seeing how each works in practice, and how you can adapt them to your own style and clients.
