Franklyn Sills
An overview of presence and mindfulness in psychotherapy

In this presentation, Franklyn Sills will give an overview of the role of presence, or sati (mindfulness) in relationship to the nature of being, early experience and attachment issues, exploring the origins and generation of selfhood and the nature of healing the wounded self. He will also contextualize this in more traditional psychodynamic and analytical understandings of the importance of the therapist’s presence and holding field.
