Negative Capability

Staying Present to an Incomplete Life

Capacity-first psychotherapy and the conditions of psychological change.

A deeper model of psychological change—one that begins with capacity rather than content. This training reveals the conditions that allow insight to become real and lasting transformation.

Includes one live implementation discussion with Dr. Zachary Wheeler

WHAT PROBLEM DOES THIS SOLVE?
