Who is it for?
The workshop is complimentary to therapists/clinicians from any therapeutic modality who wish to enhance their capacities in therapeutic presence, relational mindfulness, embodied self-regulation, compassionate engagement and action, and rupture-repair work.
Please be assured that you do not need to be a ninja to participate in this training! If you are able to rise to standing from a seated position on your couch, and reach into your fridge for your milk or vegan alternative, you are able for this training!
These embodied practices are designed to help you as a therapist/clinician develop the underlying (neuro)physiological capacities, motivational switching abilities and somatic resources to respond compassionately to challenging therapeutic encounters, particularly ruptures in the therapeutic alliance.
Participants will also learn a variety of embodied practices and tools which can be integrated into client work.
What you will learn:
- How to maintain balance, stability, flexibility and compassionate responsiveness across emotional states;
- Develop deep distress tolerance in being with strong (threat-based) emotions;
- How to rapidly and fluidly switch between motivational systems to stay affiliatively engaged during moments of high emotional and relational threat;
- How to dynamically respond to fears, blocks and resistances to compassion by absorbing, blending with and redirecting energy flow;
- Embodying and enacting different forms of therapeutic courage (static and dynamic) in the therapy space;
- Working with somatic transference-countertransference from a place of compassionate responsivity rather than threat-based reactivity.
