INTEGRAL PSYCHOTHERAPY: Dr. Mark Forman

How do we cultivate robust, ethical, convivial human beings who have access to their full cognitive, emotional, and motivational resources?  How can we better live functional, enjoyable lives, contribute to our societies' health and evolution, keep growing internally, and maximize the potentials of our best states?   Layman is joined by Integral practitioner, author, and therapist, Mark Forman. After discussing Mark's journey to becoming an integral psychotherapist, they explore the unique contributions of Integral Theory to psychology and therapeutic practice, the indispensability of reflective listening, the particular importance of states and stages, shadow work and the unconscious, dream work, the challenge of healthy development in the internet age, and much more.   Dr. Mark Forman provides psychotherapy in San Jose and online throughout California, as well as developmental consulting for individual adults worldwide. He is the founder and lead trainer of the Certified Integral Psychotherapist (CIT) Global Training Program and actively teaches and supervises both therapists and coaches interested in the direct application of Integral Theory.  He is also the organizer of several previous Integral Theory Conferences, and the author of several books on integral psychology.  Please consider supporting The Integral Stage on Patreon to make more of these conversations possible!  Professional Website www.drmarkforman.com
