Psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, benzodiazepines, lithium and antipsychotics are widely used but seldom explored. As a therapist, “Let the doctor handle it” sounds wise, but is it really? Or do we put clients at risk when we don’t understand basic harm reduction principles? This class is a crash course on psych medication essentials that you can bring directly into practice right away. Gain confidence, clarity, and new tools for working with these sometimes useful, sometimes dangerous substances.

The class is welcome to everyone, with an emphasis on people interested in Process Work. Based in Jungian psychology, Process Work approaches reality as a dream like learning experience, where the wise omnipresence of nature constantly urges us to go beyond our ordinary understanding of ourselves and grow into something surprising and unique. Present-moment awareness and interactive mindfulness and improvisation tools help us discover how what is “happening to us” might also be “happening for us.” Will teaches Process Work as both a devoted insider and as a critical outsider.
