Hysteria’s history, rooted in Greek myth, evolved into a Victorian belief of a “wandering uterus” leading to disturbing medical practices. 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. Hysteria- between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Bárbara Godoy “In this talk, I will compare the Histerical patient to the ancient Greek myth of Persephone, the goddess who traversed the boundaries between the world of the living and the underworld. Just as Persephone’s cyclical descent and return mirrored the changing seasons, hysteria was seen as a condition where emotions and experiences defied easy classification. This notion of transgressing boundaries became a cornerstone of early psychoanalysis. In Victorian times, hysteria took a decidedly bizarre turn. Here, the culprit was believed to be a mobile womb, an organ capable of throwing into disorder and confusion. This “wandering womb” was blamed for a variety of ailments and behaviours, particularly any expression of female desire out-of-wedlock. In a truly disturbing reflection of these beliefs, legal rulings based on this theory emerged. In some cases, women diagnosed with hysteria could be forced to undergo a hysterectomy.” Bárbara Godoy. Bárbara Godoy M.A., Adv. Dip. Exi. Psy, UKCP accredited Psychotherapist and Supervisor, MBACP and SEA – Director of Therapy Harley Street. Bárbara’s academic experience in London since 2008 includes lecturing and researching on the theory and practice of Phenomenological Existential Therapy on Doctorate, MA and professional courses at the School of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology, Regent’s University and the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling directed by Emmy van Deurzen. Bárbara has facilitated therapeutic Group Work internationally since 1997. The question about the meaning of Being-Woman was the topic of her thesis completed in 2005 and evolved into two main Women’s Groups: “Nine muses” and “Four Seasons” which she leads in addition to her individual private practice. Currently, as the clinical director of THS, Bárbara leads a team of over 20 professional practitioners in the area of Psychological services and Wellbeing consultancy. Bárbara is also the founder-director of THS’s Personal Development and CPD Programmes. Prof. Ernesto Spinelli was Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis between 1993 and 1999 and is a Life Member of the Society. His writings, lectures and seminars focus on the application of existential phenomenology to the arenas of therapy, supervision, psychology, and executive coaching. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as well as an APECS accredited executive coach and coaching supervisor. In 2000, he was the Recipient of BPS Division of Counselling Psychology Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Profession. And in 2019, Ernesto received the BPS Award for Distinguished Contribution to Practice. His most recent book, Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World 2nd edition (Sage, 2015) has been widely praised as a major contribution to the advancement of existential theory and practice. Living up to the existential dictum that life is absurd, Ernesto is also the author of an on-going series of Private Eye novels.

An interactive workshop experience with personal stylist Emma Shoe, sharing her expertise on how to create a wardrobe you'll truly treasure! How To Create A Wardrobe To Treasure............ Do you have a wardrobe full of clothes that you don't love? Do you have lots of things hanging in your wardrobe you never or rarely wear? Do you mostly default to the same few outfits all the time?

During the workshop, we will share wardrobe treasures, discuss personal style, look at shape and colour and more sustainable ways to create your wardrobe. You'll get the opportunity to 'play' with creating outfits and experiment with new looks for your own wardrobe. The practical and tangible outcomes you'll experience from this workshop include: How to edit what's in your wardrobe. Emma's approach to eliminate regretful shopping mistakes and binge buying. The flat-lay method to create outfits and plan looks. How to create your wardrobe of treasure. Why and how to embrace the circular fashion model.

Emma's clients are entrepreneurs, creatives and leaders, professional women dealing with major life changes or transitioning from experiences like the menopause, divorce, illness, promotion, career change or returning to work post maternity leave. Kind words... "Emma is a fantastic personal stylist. She put items together that I never would have thought of myself. This is her unique gift. She has great knowledge of body shapes and made suggestions that were really flattering. She is also a master at accessorising. I would highly recommend her if you need some styling support." "I took the opportunity in lock-down to take a hard look at my personal style - or perhaps lack of personal style is a more appropriate phrase! Having left corporate life behind a few years ago, I felt I knew how to dress smartly and I LOVE my jeans and gold trainers but I knew that there had to be something stylish yet relaxed that looked AND felt great...I just couldn't seem to find it alone. Cue Emma. I'd attended one of her Capsule Wardrobe Styling sessions in Hampton which opened my eyes to the possibility of having a small but hard-working wardrobe with the right accessories to make it feel fresh. So, I booked in for Emma's virtual styling session which was a revelation! I quickly understood why I didn't feel (or look) great in certain pieces and which styles and colours really work/don't work for my body shape and skin-tone. I also realised that I'd been stuck in a colour rut for quite some time. It was time to say good-bye to black. It also became obvious during the session that there were giant gaps in my wardrobe - mostly due to my overly-enthusiastic Marie Kondo-style clear outs! My interest in shopping for clothes has been renewed - I feel like I have a better idea of what I should be looking for which makes it all so much easier and more fun. I'm also feeling much braver with colour. I can't wait to take Emma shopping with me in real life. She knows her stuff and she's also great fun to be around." "Emma was such a joy to help me go through my wardrobe and get me interested in clothes again. She was kind, honest, practical and had a very stylish take on my limited wardrobe. I trusted her judgement implicitly and was buzzing after our session. Highly recommend Emma for her professionalism and empathy plus the fabulous outfits."
