Mastering the Creative Therapeutic Technique of Two-chair Work: practical and precise key points addressing the pitfalls of the technique:

Engaging in relationship – risking love – both sustains as well as destroys the self-other boundary through the opposing - but inextricably intertwined - desires which incline us towards using each other as objects whilst recognising each other as subjects.

How do you answer the client’s question whether their investment into therapy will be useful and worthwhile? Somewhere between priceless and useless?

Therapy as the ‘impossible profession’ is potentially exhausting ALL the time and in all kinds of ways, but often the underlying dilemmas become most obvious and wearing for the therapist around frame and money negotiations.

The impossibility of therapy manifests in meta-level struggles: whether, how, why therapy works (or doesn't) and its frame and boundaries.

How does the particular intricacy of each client-therapist relationship hook into the therapist’s ‘habitual position’ and become exhausting?

How do relational dilemmas inherent in therapy affect therapists’ well-being? How do our bodyminds absorb, process and compost emotional material, present and triggered in the therapeutic relationship?

The decisive factor for making a sustainable living as therapist: what’s the EMOTIONAL cost of the therapeutic position in an ‘impossible profession’, manifesting in our bodymind psychosomatic reality?
