Pesso Boyden: The non-pathologising therapy loved by Bessel van der Kolk

Juliet Grayson introduces Pesso Boyden, a model much loved by Bessel van der Kolk for its transformative potential in people's lives.
About this Event

Trainer and author, Juliet Grayson joins us for an introduction to the Pesso Boyden system of psychotherapy.
Pesso Boyden is a non pathologising, body based therapy often employed when working with trauma and neglect. It has been highly recommended by International trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk. (see video below)
"Over the past 40 years, Al Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso have perfected an extraordinarily effective technique…. providing people with experiences that were missing during their growth and development. The artistry of [a Pesso Boyden] ‘structure’ can be a unique and profoundly life-altering experience." Prof Bessel van der Kolk.
“Our lives are not predestined, the world is not done, and we are not puppets in it. We are made genetically to be able to be happy in an imperfect world that is endlessly unfolding.” Albert Pesso.

This workshop is particularly suitable for therapists who are interested in integrating this way of working into their practice and those who may be thinking of doing further training on the model.
