Course I: Boundaries

June 21: 9-11am Los Angeles, 12-2pm New York, 6-8pm Paris/ Vienna, 5-7pm London

Boundaries often produce suffering and pain when we are faced with the limitations of power, time, money, and capacities. Boundaries are a basic human need and are necessary elements of our lives, especially when they reveal themselves, ultimately, as facilitators.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the meaning of boundaries in life and their importance in psychotherapy.

  • Describe reconciliation, living with boundaries, and focusing on their value.


Course II: Capacities



June 28: 9-11am Los Angeles, 12-2pm New York, 6-8pm Paris/ Vienna, 5-7pm London

To be able to do something is fundamental for living and overcoming. Many people encounter problems in life due to uncertainties and lack of understanding of what their abilities are and how to combine capabilities with boundaries and letting be. Otherwise a peaceful and relaxed life is not possible.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the fundamental structure of capacities.

  • Discuss the importance of working with capacities in counseling.

  • Explain the most basic capacity: “letting be”.


Course III: Feeling



July 12: 9-11am Los Angeles, 12-2pm New York, 6-8pm Paris/ Vienna, 5-7pm London

To bring more meaning into our life, we have to refer to our feelings and give them space. More than this, feelings play an important role in our orientation in life. To be able to make use of our feelings, we need a clear thinking of different forms of feelings and the knowledge of their origin and meaning.

Learning Objectives:

  • Analyze the connection between feelings and life

  • Discuss and analyze different forms of feelings

  • Identify the role of particular feelings for existence


Course IV: Values



July 26: 9-11am Los Angeles, 12-2pm New York, 6-8pm Paris/ Vienna, 5-7pm London

We speak a lot about values, but what are existential values? What role do values play in our life? What basic patterns of values can be differentiated and what values are useful?

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply and describe about the existential relevance of values.

  • Differentiate the main types of values.


Course V: Authenticity



August 9: 9-11am Los Angeles, 12-2pm New York, 6-8pm Paris/ Vienna, 5-7pm London

What does it mean to truly be oneself? How can authenticity be lived? People have a strong tendency to be themselves and not be alien to oneself. We want to live our lives, and to encounter who you really are.  But what does it mean, to be really myself? How can authenticity be lived? How is it connected with moral conscience, responsibility, encounter, happiness and inner fulfillment? What does it look like when we experience it?

Learning Objectives:

  • Differentiate between authenticity and identity.

  • Discuss the foundation of authenticity.

  • Describe how to practically work with authenticity.


Course VI: Freedom



August 23: 9-11am Los Angeles, 12-2pm New York, 6-8pm Paris/ Vienna, 5-7pm London

Freedom and free will are central to human existence. The loss of freedom in dependency, psychopathology, or outer coercion endangers our dignity. What forms of freedom do we have and how is freedom connected with our will?

Learning Objectives:

  • Differentiate forms of freedom.

  • Describe the concept of free will.

  • Apply the will-strengthening method.


Course VII: Purpose & Meaning



September 13: 9-11am Los Angeles, 12-2pm New York, 6-8pm Paris/ Vienna, 5-7pm London

What do I live for? Why should I do this or that? These are frequent questions from our clients and even sometimes for ourselves. These are the questions of meaning, of a need for orienting and understanding ourselves in the world. Without meaning, life becomes empty and, in severe situations, even suicidal. This shows the importance of meaning not only for the quality of life, but also as a survival concept.

Learning Objectives:

  • List and describe the different forms of meaning according to Frankl (Logotherapy).

  • Discuss finding access to finding meaning.

  • Apply the meaning-finding method.


Course VIII: Love



September 27: 9-11am Los Angeles, 12-2pm New York, 6-8pm Paris/ Vienna, 5-7pm London

The most powerful capacity of human beings is love. What is our striving when we love, when we love other persons or when we experience love? What are we striving for when we love? What are we striving for when we love someone or when we experience love? What is the essence of personal love? What differentiates and dependency? How is love and sexuality connected?

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the existential concept of love and its structure.

  • Describe intentions characterizing personal love.

  • Differentiate love from dependency.
