Join Clinical Social Worker and Performing Artist, Mark O’Connell, LCSW, MFA for a glimpse behind the curtain as we explore the actionable tools the world of acting can offer every therapist! Gain new insight on staying present with clinical “scene partners,” through active listening, learn how clinicians can access a range of authentic versions of self (eg “Characters” within each session, using body and voice, and engage clients in exploring the range of “characters” and selves within them through a therapeutic lens, opening up new ways of relating to the world and those around them.
