Join us as we discuss how we can support our clients when they explore their concerns about our current political situation. An Existential value is that we are all Beings-in-the-World. We are not separate from what is going on. It impacts us regardless of whether we actively engage or not. How do we support our clients who are experiencing the effects of polarization, suffering, confusion, and despair? How do we facilitate the exploration of these concerns? How do we deal with our own experience of the current political situation? How does it impact us as we seek to support our clients?
