- **Event Description**: A one-day workshop on therapist identity, stereotype, and presence in the clinical encounter, for therapists and trainees.About this EventWho enters the room first: you, or the therapist you believe you are supposed to be?This one-day experiential workshop invites therapists and trainees to explore the internalised roles, stereotypes, and unconscious expectations that shape therapeutic presence before a single word is spoken.A reflective and psychologically rich day on therapist identity, performance, and the possibility of more authentic contact.We often imagine that we arrive in therapy as neutral, thoughtful professionals. Yet before any intervention is made, something may already be present: an image of the therapist. The calm one. The endlessly containing one. The expert. The fixer. The one who must always know, must never fail, must never get it wrong.At The Metis Institute, we are interested in what happens when these identities become too fixed. Some professional ideals support ethical practice and containment. Others can quietly narrow spontaneity, inhibit authenticity, and interfere with genuine relational contact. What begins as a professional aspiration can become a defensive position, shaping not only how the therapist is perceived, but how they listen, respond, and take up space in the encounter.Who Says Hello? is an experiential and reflective workshop exploring the powerful myths, expectations, and internalised images that influence therapeutic presence. These may arise from training, culture, class, gender, race, family history, institutional norms, or personal adaptation. Through discussion, structured reflection, and relational experiments, participants will examine the different therapist identities they may unconsciously inhabit, and consider how these shape power, distance, performance, and connection in clinical work.By slowing down the apparently simple moment of greeting a client, the workshop opens a deeper question: when the therapist says hello, who is really arriving?This workshop offers participants the opportunity to develop a sharper awareness of the cultural and professional scripts surrounding therapist identity, and greater freedom to meet clients with presence, reflexivity, and choice rather than performance.Workshop ObjectivesExplore the internalised images and stereotypes that shape therapist identity.Reflect on how training, culture, personal history, and professional expectations influence therapeutic presence.Examine the relationship between therapist identity, power, distance, and connection in the clinical encounter.Notice how unconscious bias and internalised role expectations may affect listening and relational responsiveness.Deepen reflexive awareness of how the therapist enters the room, both personally and professionally.Strengthen the capacity to meet clients with greater authenticity, presence, and flexibility.At The Metis Institute, we understand relational psychotherapy as more than a model: it is a way of being with another person in depth, complexity, and difference.
