Dance of Soma & Psyche I: Foundations of Working with the Body. At Hollywood Steiner School, in Belfast.
This two-day module will introduce you to working safely with the body in your psychotherapy practice and offer foundations in somatic approaches to working with clients.
It is relevant for psychotherapists who are new to working with the body and keen to gain skills in this approach, as well as for practitioners who are familiar with some of these methods, and wish to gain more tools and confidence in working with the body.
Through learning experientially, you will explore your own mind-body relationship, the 'dance of soma and psyche', which will give you the confidence to work with your clients in a more embodied way.
The course covers:
Grounding techniques, stabilisation and self regulation
Helping clients safely come into sensations and finding a 'safe place' in the body
Learning tools for transforming difficult sensations and emotions that clients hold in their bodies, including working with anxiety and physical pain
Working with the client’s personal boundaries, and the integrity of the body
Working with the ‘problem’ and ‘solution’ through the body
Using movement to strengthen the mind-body connection
Working with touch to regulate overwhelming feelings and hyperarousal
Using creative imagination with clients who have difficulty connecting with their bodies
This module may be taken individually, or as a part of a year-long course leading to certification.
(14 CPD hours).
