The Body within the Therapeutic Relationship
October 2025 to February 2026
This well-established course has been running for over 20 years and is the result of careful design, development, and refinement over time. The course will introduce you to a lens and a concrete set of tools which will enable you to understand and work with the body in the therapeutic process with clients. It is grounded in an integration of the theory of Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen, who were forerunners in the development of body awareness in the therapeutic process. The course will help you to integrate the body lens into your current practice from a humanistic perspective.

"It's a credit to our instructors that this information and learning, which always has the potential to feel overwhelming, was taught, managed and facilitated in a deeply skilled way."
"Learning to view my client work through this lens has opened up my practice and depth of work."
