FROM ALONE TO SEEN – A JOURNEY OF BEING BRAVE AND “DOING HARD THINGS” TOGETHER

In this Salon, Kallista will bring her work with a female military veteran with severe existential anxiety. In this heartfelt session, Kallista weaves AEDP interventions into working with unbearable aloneness and the patient’s fear of being “too much”. Kallista brings her tender warmth and an unwavering relational approach to invite her patient to deepen into her feared emotions and allow her core self to be seen. We will witness Kallista’s therapeutic presence as she navigates when to make space for experience and when to intervene.  She creates gentle space for her patient to explore her raw experience through sensation and S-L-O-W-I-N-G down.

Through group metaprocessing Kallista will invite us to reflect on therapeutic presence, co-regulation, and moment to moment tracking in the therapeutic dyad.
