Wounding, Healing, Psychotherapy and Love

Discover the importance of love as a spiritual light in psychotherapy at this two-day in-person workshop.

Please note that this workshop is open to qualified counsellors and psychotherapists only.

Love as a spiritual light

The road home is cluttered with stories of past trauma, not just our own.

Many people are drawn to Psychotherapy because they need love and through a process of remembering and re-experiencing it, they seek to achieve a measure of inner peace. Psychology has become adept at addressing the history of human love, but love is a spectrum that has both a human and a Spiritual dimension, it is in the blending of these two aspects that we ultimately find peace. Unlike the resources on our planet, Spiritual love, mediated by Soul, is a limitless supply and yet many of us are leaving it to gather dust in hidebound religions that are increasingly failing to do it justice. Technology alone is not going to save us from the consequences of our own behaviour to each other and our planet but love, starting within the self, may well go a long way to help it.

Why this workshop?

This weekend workshop is about understanding Love as a Spiritual Light that is the action of creation and is available to all, irrespective of their circumstances, an inner light of peace and healing which can help us to put things back together as they are meant to be. When we share feelings of love, we are sharing in something far greater than the sum of the parts, something that wants us as much as we want it, and it is ours to give and receive. None of us can heal our own wounds or participate in the healing of others without it being involved. It operates not on the principle of technique; it is not a theory, or an idea and it cannot be achieved by trying or demanding. It is more often experienced as a grace accessed through a process of sharing with others, letting go of attachment to outcomes, acceptance, and surrender. The Light of Love is simple, free, and available to all without need of go-betweens.

To have faith and confidence in Love you must first identify it, accept it within yourself and allow its healing balm to touch you. This is not always easy, the problems which can arise from your existing beliefs, racial, cultural, or psychological identity, fear, shame, seeking, certainty and feeling yourself to be either unworthy or especially deserving must all be taken into account so you can identify your own path of healing.

We will address some of these issues in a group context and although interaction with one another and the facilitator is a necessary part of the process there will be no pressure to share what you do not want to share. The most important thing you can bring, and share is an open mind.

Who is it for/who it will benefit?

This weekend CPD workshop is designed for qualified Counsellors and Psychotherapists who want to understand more about how to co-operate with the process of deep healing which becomes possible when it has Soul and Spiritual Love as its source.

Our approach: Psychosynthesis as applied to psychotherapy is a unique approach that combines both psychology and spirituality. It is a holistic process that helps the individual deal with patterns of behaviours which inhibit or prevent living life in meaningful and fulfilling ways. It brings us into contact with the life journey to meaning and purpose.
