On Sunday 20/02/22, 12:00-14:00, Despina Balliou and Costas Michailidis participated as speakers at the 26th Two-Day Conference EES 2022 with an experiential workshop on

"The Silence of the Hidden Rivalry"

In this two-hour experiential workshop, the two speakers attempted to explore with their audience, experientially and creatively, the answers to the relevant questions that arise, such as whether there is a hidden rivalry in the fraternal relationship, whether it appears, if allowed, and even what it means inside in the contact and interaction of a family and what is the bridge after all! The workshop was completed when its presenters finally developed how it approaches the counseling process through the perspective of Gestalt therapy theory.
