In this interactive workshop, participants will gain insight into and practice an approach that centers personal connection, empathy, and mutuality when supporting people who experience extreme or unusual states and/or have extraordinary beliefs. Participants will explore ways to negotiate boundaries and disparate needs while maintaining values of choice, transparency, equality, community, and possibility. Topics include navigating fear and discomfort, avoiding/minimizing control and coercion, and navigating multiple truths when supporting people having experiences that might be labeled as psychosis.
