Experiential Workshop in Gestalt Therapy and Awareness
May 29, 2009
Dr. Benjamin Keyes, Professor, Chair of the M.A. Counseling programs, and founder of the Trauma Study Center at Regent University and Dr. George Jefferson, Associate Professor for the M.A. Counseling programs at Regent University for twenty-six years, will be presenting a workshop on Gestalt Therapy and Awareness.
Gestalt therapy is an existential and experiential psychotherapy that focuses on the individual's experience in the present moment, the therapist-client relationship, the environmental and social contexts in which these things take place, and the self-regulating adjustments people make as a result of the overall situation. It emphasizes personal responsibility.
In this unique experiential workshop, Keyes and Jefferson will coach participants in the practice of Gestalt Therapy. Participants will learn by experiencing the techniques first hand. This is an opportunity for those interested in expanding their counseling skills and work on personal issues in a safe, supportive environment. The class is limited to the first 18 people who register.

Friday, June 26 from 1 – 9 pm and
