Workshop details
Individuals with eating disorders often numb their emotions in an attempt to control overwhelming life experiences. Transforming this disordered detour into connectedness to self and life, is integral to movement toward recovery. Attendees will learn to facilitate engagement with the client’s authentic self by working with them expressively, empowering them to understand their resistance and translating the ensuing experiences into metaphorical insights. Principles of rhythmic synchrony, kinesthetic awareness and kinesthetic empathy, implemented through clinicians’ own clinical intuition and ability to attune, will allow for the transformation of ordinary experiences into extraordinary therapeutic skills. Teaching methods will focus on folding these new concepts into clinicians’ existing skill set to maximize positive change.
This workshop is for anyone interested in exploring themselves through movement. If you are interested in the DMT training program it is a good idea to come along and make contact with us.
The workshop is self-experiential; we offer a space for reflections and support your experience, although it is not a therapy or supervision space.
