Objectives

1. Explore how advances across a range of disciplines---including brain science, psychiatry, attachment theory, quantum physics, and spirituality, to name just a few---have expanded our conception of consciousness, and what this means for the practice of psychotherapy.
2. Discover the role of “conscious awareness” in the process of psychotherapy and how therapists can guide that experience to help clients feel connected to others.  
3. Explain the results of a systematic study of the Wheel of Awareness involving thousands of individuals and how what it can tell us about how to help clients bring more awareness into the process of change. 
4. Describe the four parts of the Wheel and how to use them in therapy to improve clinical outcomes. 
5. Recognize the systemic principles of chaos and rigidity and how they can help us better grasp our clients’ issues and guide them toward learning to savor the experience of life in a more balanced and fulfilling way. 
6. Apply the Wheel in sessions to reduce clients’ stress and improve cardiovascular and immune system functioning.
