About this training:
This course will look at the theory of Body Psychotherapy, starting with its origins in Psychoanalysis and transition to Humanistic Psychotherapy. The Course will focus on four models of body psychotherapy: Adjustment, trauma discharge, Process and Relational. Students will have an opportunity to practice body psychotherapy skills in small groups, and to apply their learning to their own clinical practice in group discussion, and to their own process. The content will include teaching theory, exercises in small groups to illustrate aspects of theory, application to client work through discussion, and developing a reflective body-orientated approach through process work. Students will be expected to be graduates or final year students, who are practising psychotherapists. The course is designed to be integrated into the student’s existing practice models.
This training is suitable for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, and students at Level 5 and above of their training, and participants will have the opportunity to practice some of their learning working in groups with each other.
Please note: the workshop is a confidential space and all participants must agree to this boundary. Please bring along a cushion or pillow and wear comfortable clothing.
