"Psyche and Sky: An Introduction to Astrology for Therapists"

A Workshop by Dan Keusal, M.S., LMFT

Saturday, April 17, 2010

Co-Sponsored by Washington Pastoral Counseling Association

(Pre-registration is required; download the registration form below)

Astrology is a powerful tool for facilitating self-awareness, transformation, and healing. It is perhaps the oldest form of psychology.  Astrology’s underlying principles and methods have much in common with family systems, depth psychology, and other forms of therapy. Many therapists are curious about astrology and how it can support their work with clients, but the process of learning astrology and becoming skilled at combining it with therapy feels daunting.  This beginner’s workshop, which presumes no prior experience with astrology, will introduce you to the benefits of using it in your work. You will learn:

  • Ways that astrology compliments and deepens your therapeutic work with clients.
  • How to use your client's Sun sign to identify and support their key developmental tasks.
  • A method for uncovering the hidden source of your clients' most entrenched habits & patterns, and for moving beyond them.
  • The similarities and differences among astrology, therapy, spirituality, and other disciplines.
  • Guidelines for using astrology ethically (especially as a beginner), including when not to use it.
  • How to effectively collaborate with a professional astrologer to better serve your clients.
