You, Me and The In Between: Exploring how we connect and the ways we don’t

In this 3-hr workshop we will be exploring merging, joining, connecting, disengaging and othering from a somatic perspective. We will get curious together about the ways that activation affects our ability to see each other as humans vs categories, the behaviors that ensue, and how we can more effectively engage with each other.

Bodies Come To Therapy Too: Introduction to Body-Centered Psychotherapy

Traditionally, psychotherapy has been focused on thinking and emotions. What has not been recognized is that emotions happen in the body, and thoughts are heavily influenced by the state of the nervous system. Body-centered psychotherapy gives practitioners the tools they need to influence emotions at their origin, and directly affect the state of the nervous system.

This workshop will give an introduction to the use of somatic awareness through Yoga-Informed Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing, and provide practitioners with some basic interventions that they can begin using right away.

Not currently scheduled.

You, Me and the In Between: Compassionate Boundaries for Practitioners (3hrs).

The helping professions can be incredibly rewarding. So why do so many end up burned out or with compassion fatigue, and trying to find something else to do that is less taxing? How much we take on in our work can impact our wellbeing. Join me for this 3-hr workshop exploring presence and compassionately boundaries. It’s not just about having a semi-permeable membrane or the right words to say!
