Presentation information
Confrontation with the reality of death can lead to insecurity and intense emotion, but beyond fear, anxiety and depression, lies the possibility of a renewal of existential courage. How can when we face up to the paradoxes of human existence and renew our commitment to the future, after we have encountered the frontier of life?
This session will look at the philosophical wisdom and psychological knowledge that can enrich our work with people who have been confronted with the limits and boundaries of life and for whom each day will hold both enormous challenges and great new discoveries and consolations.
The session will enable members to:
- To question the trauma-based approaches to near death experiences and get acquainted with an existential way of working with such extreme experiences.
- to learn about ancient philosophical ideas that can enrich life for those who have come through great suffering
- to combine these with the most cutting-edge research in psychology and neurophysiology.
