Existential Dialogue 2025: "Polarisation" with Prof. Kirk Schneider
By Therapy Harley Street
Polarization, or the “polarized mind,” is a fixation on one view, causing widespread destructiveness. It needs presence and love to address. We aim to explore the lived experiences on irregular perceptions of reality with an open mind. Each Saturday includes: a live dialogue between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and an International Existential Therapist; a moment to share your thoughts and feelings with the teachers; and a final integration facilitated by Bárbara Godoy. This series of ten dialogues set out to explore the multifaceted dimentions and complexities associated with Existential Therapies. It attempts to engage with various interpretations of insanity through the lens of patients often painful, confounding, and deeply unsettling life experiences. Polarisation - between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Prof. Kirk Schneider “I view polarization or that which I call the “polarized mind” as the fixation on a single point of view to the utter exclusion of competing points of view, and I see it as a core dimension of human destructiveness both individually and collectively. Arguably, polarization or the polarized mind is responsible for more devaluation and abuse than any other general psychological dimension, and it crosses cultures, parties, disciplines and so-called diagnosed and undiagnosed populations. In fact it is the undiagnosed populations—polarized cultural, political, and religious leaders and their followers–who have arguably caused the most human destructiveness by far, over those whom we conventionally termed the diagnosed The polarized mind may be partly dispositional but appears to be largely fear-driven and requires abiding presence and love to address it. We are in a race against time to avail people to these “nutrients.” Prof. Kirk Schneider. Prof. Kirk J.

Sales and trade exist because people need and are looking for that which is better than what they have. Sometimes, they don’t even know that they have a need. The critical piece of this process is “connecting the dots.” We must demonstrate that we have listened respectfully, and, as experts, show how the needs are tied directly to our answer. Just because they have a need and we have a solution doesn’t mean that it’s a guaranteed sale. Connecting their needs to our solution is precisely what the Sales Presentation Skills class is all about. Outcomes – Participants will be able to: Research and understand each unique customer to demonstrate expertise; Conduct productive meetings to discover useful information to formulate the most effective solution(s); Propose plans that are fully aligned with the target’s situation and needs; Increase abilities to engage and motivate the prospect/client through compelling presentations; Convey emotional intelligence enthusiasm and sincerity to get client buy-in; Strengthen professionalism through dynamic story-telling, elevating the level of rapport; and Create positive messages even from negative, modeling a problem-solving, can-do attitude for the audience. Online Format—Sales Presentation Skills is a 4-hour interactive virtual class. Register for this class and you will be sent ONLINE login instructions prior to the class date.
