These Continued Professional Development workshops are open to trained therapists, bodyworkers and psychotherapists interested in a body-oriented and bodyfocused perspective.
CPD workshop Sat/Sun 13/14 November 2010
BodyEnergetics in Relationship
This workshop explores the energetic processes happening in our bodies and between our bodies in the therapeutic relationship.
The waves and cycles of our energy interweave inseparably with our feelings, thoughts, our actions and intentions, and also directly with those of the other person. These powerful non-verbal processes within and between us are at the heart of any therapeutic relationship - they are the web we weave together.
Recent research in neuroscience has revealed fascinating evidence about how these energetic processes in the relationship are closely linked to brain processes - the 'brain in the head' and also the 'brain in the body'.
In this workshop we shall explore how the therapeutic relationship directly influences brain functioning and brain structuring. We will also explore how the structure and functioning of the brain can influence the energetic flow in the relationship. And we'll draw some astonishing lessons from this research on how to work as a therapist in an energetically effective manner.
Staying aware of the energetic flow and the underlying brain processes in the therapeutic relationship will help you work more effectively as a therapist.
The workshop takes place at The Open Centre, London EC1V 9FR, Saturday/Sunday 13/14 November 2010, 10am - 5.30pm both days. Fee £120.
Working with the Somatic Brain
CPD workshop Sat/Sun 5/6 March 2011
Our somatic brain ("body-brain") is hugely important and yet often neglected in our discourse, our research, and our practice as therapists.
In this workshop we'll explore how, as therapists, we can become more skillful at working with the somatic brain processes to achieve better therapeutic relationships and therapeutic outcomes.
We will explore how to:
*Become more attuned to the right-brain-to-right-brain connection that is the bedrock of any therapeutic relationship
*Become more mindful of our own bodily felt resonance with our client
*Bring our heart and empathy safely to our therapeutic work
*Clarify therapeutic patterns of holding, being authentic and being transparent in the light of resonance and intersubjectivity.
The workshop takes place at The Open Centre, London EC1V 9FR, 10am - 5.30pm both days. Fee £120.
