Listen "Existential Demons with Claude Missiaen. E04 The Living Process with Greg Madison."
Episode Synopsis
In episode 4 of The Living Process Greg talks with Claude Missiaen, a Clinical Psychologist from Belgium, in private practice, teaching Focusing to therapists (Focussen Vlaanderen) and on faculty at Leuven University. Claude is also on the International Leadership Council of The International Focusing Institute and is well-known across the Focusing community. Claude has been in the Focusing community as a Teacher and Coordinator for many years, having first been introduced to Focusing by Mia Leijssen, a former Professor at Leuven University and well-known Focusing pioneer.
In this episode, we talk about many aspects of Claude's work, including the development of his work on Existential Demons as well as his innovative format for clinical supervision. He also describes some of his contributions to the Post-graduate training in client-centered/Experiential Psychotherapy at Leuven. You will notice that I first introduced Claude with the correct pronunciation of his first name but then in the conversation reverted to the English pronunciation (silent 'e' at the end), so my apologies for that oversight!
