About the event
Many therapy clients' interpersonal complaints stem from their desire to change their relationships or the other people in their lives, which is often impossible. Group therapy is an excellent medium for working through these complex and contradictory feelings toward other people, as well as making peace with deeper existential challenges such as fears of mortality and the limits of our autonomy. Dr. Bender will present a hybrid relational-existential approach to group therapy and discuss how it can help members grapple with life's challenges. Interested attendees can participate in a model process group exercise.

He completed his Ph.D. at Adelphi University and has received post-graduate training in EMDR, group therapy, and climate-aware therapy.
