Why Has Good-Enough Parenting Become More Difficult?

🗿 “When does a form become more than an aesthetic outcome and begin to trace the stages of a relationship?”

🗿 Clay is in a constant state of transformation through touch. Every contact, every intervention reshapes its form and leaves a mark on its surface. These traces are not only physical; they also reflect a way of relating.

Relationships, too, change form over time. They are continuously reshaped through closeness, distance, presence, and absence. Sometimes the same bond continues to exist in an entirely different form.

🗿 This workshop invites participants to explore the evolving forms of relationships through their interaction with clay. While creating, participants will reflect on a relationship and make its transformations visible through form, texture, and surface.

📅 DATE & TIME
• June 6, 2026 | 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM

👥 WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Open to anyone interested in reflecting on art and relationships.

🩶 OBJECTIVE
To explore the changing nature of relationships through the language of touch, traces, and form.

• Facilitated by Clinical Psychologists Aleyna Er and Ayfer Killi.

Is There Life After Trauma?

You Are Invited to the 'Encounters' Seminar Series May Session! (Free, Online & Open to All)

🔴 This month's session will be presented by Uzm. Kln. Psk. Âmine Güzel as the speaker.

📅 Wednesday, May 13th, at 8:30 PM. 💻 You can participate online. 🎟️ Participation is free. 👥 Everyone (including those outside the field) can attend.

📌 Those who wish to participate must fill out the registration form. You can access the form via the link in our profile or from the announcements section of our website.

🔴 In this seminar, we will discuss the fissures trauma creates in the psyche, the traces it leaves, and what comes after.

Is it truly possible to "live" after trauma? Or does one merely remain limited to survival? We will address these questions together.

Starting from a place that evokes the question "Is there life after death?", we will collectively contemplate how possible it is to reconnect with life and rebuild the feeling of vitality after traumatic experiences.

🔴 We will examine the ruptures, effects, and possibilities for restructuring within the psyche through the framework offered by psychoanalytic theory; simultaneously, we will approach this process in a multi-layered manner with perspectives provided by contemporary psychology.

In this context, we will open a discussion on the possibilities of transformation and the ruptures in continuity that emerge in the subject's psyche following traumatic experiences.

Date & Time: April 19, 2026 / 14:00 – 16:00

Workshop Facilitator: Clinical Psychologist Sena Dönmez
Co-Facilitator: Clinical Psychologist Âmine Güzel

What Awaits You in This Workshop?

Each of us lives in a unique world woven with different objects.

The connections we form with objects in the external world are, in fact, tangible reflections of our relationships with ourselves and with the important people in our lives.

This workshop aims to explore and rediscover our inner distances, connections, sense of self, and relationships from different perspectives—through objects that serve as stations in our mental world of representations.

Who Can Participate?

This workshop is open to anyone aged 18 and above who wishes to understand their inner dynamics through objects and re-evaluate their relational patterns.

Participation Requirements

When attending the workshop, you are required to bring two items (or clear photographs of them) that match the descriptions below:

1. How should you choose the first object?
   This should be an “indispensable” item that has maintained its place in your life—something you cannot give up, or that reminds you of a particular period or person.
2. How should you choose the second object?
   This should be an item that makes you feel more competent, balanced, strong, or whole—something you see as a “source of support.”

The workshop will take place in person at Navia Psychology (Nişantaşı/Şişli). The address will be sent via email to participants who complete their registration.

• Capacity is limited to 10 participants.
• Participation is paid. The fee is 800 TL.
• Those who wish to attend must fill out the registration form. After completing the form, payment details will be shared with you. Your registration will be confirmed once payment is completed.

🔴 In this seminar, we will examine how a person's connection with their inner world is shaped and how this relates to their capacity for satisfaction.

We will explore how needs become blurred when sensation is weak or confused, and how this can manifest in different ways in both relationships and the connection with the body.

🔴Experiences such as difficulty ingesting things that feel good, withdrawing when approaching fulfillment, or sabotaging it will be discussed through the lens of alienation, authenticity, and early relational patterns.

We will also touch upon how these dynamics become visible in the therapeutic process.
