Traditional psychoanalytic therapy often treats listening like seeing, searching for hidden meanings in an effort to develop insight. This program challenges that visual focus by diving into an aural approach. Instead of rushing to understand or decode our patients’ communications, “listening-with” invites the psychoanalytic therapist to stay in a space of not knowing.

In this unique program, The Analyst’s Listening: for, to, with, Dr. Bruce Reis (IPTAR) will share both theoretical insights and clinical vignettes about analytic listening, showing us how to sit with the parts of a patient’s mental life that exist outside of words. Join us in this Zoom workshop to discover how stepping away from insight-driven goals can transform your clinical presence.
