Embodied Healing for Developmental Trauma
Copyright :
It can be easy to focus on the words a client uses, but some of the most important information they reveal is through their physiology, posture, and movement. Our early life is encoded in the elusive dimension of implicit memory. Thus, a primary way to repair developmental trauma is to work directly with the nonconscious memory systems where patterns of relationship to self, other, and environment originate. You can do this by tapping into the “language” of the body. In this highly experiential workshop, hands-on exercises to engage developmental repair with clients suffering from attachment wounds, emotional abuse, and neglect will be explored. You’ll discover:
- Experiential and easy-to-use exercises to foster developmental repair with clients
- Embodied movement techniques to help clients initiate action, foster agency and follow-through, and expand their capacity to receive
- How to help clients more fully embody their emotions and learn to communicate authentically
