As psychotherapists and others in the helping professions, our bodies are resonating with the concerns of our patients, clients, or students. This workshop includes somatic theory and exercises for somatically transforming yourself. As we are able to transform ourselves, freeing muscles and emotions, we move toward the actualization of our full potential. This workshop is designed for professionals seeking to enhance the somatic dimension of their work as well as for individuals seeking further personal development.
In this experiential workshop, participants will have the opportunity to:
- learn to somatically assess themselves and others (somatic disclosure).
- enhance their somatic theory of behavior
- cultivate the capacity of somatic perception: the ability to sense one's own somatic responses
- practice a series of somatic exercises designed to free muscles and emotions
