The Coffee Group takes place (from April onwards) on the second Monday of every month, at 18:00 -19:00 CET, on Zoom. Each event will feature guest speakers who will discuss topics related to the ABP, Bodynamic and the field of therapy.

There will be a space to share experiences and discuss the topic among the participants.
Topic: Dealing with transference and countertransference
- How to deal with transference and countertransference in a good way when working with clients, especially when there is a high level of emotionality active, like anger.
