BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKSHOP – SUPERVISION & THE BODY

Published On : 19th August, 2017

Facilitated by LYNDA HOWELL MSc CTA

Sunday 1st October 2017

10am – 5pm (arrival from 9.30am) 6 hours CPD Certificate given on completion

Supervision is an integrative part of a therapists work. Thinking about our clients and discussing them with our supervisor only takes into account one aspect of the therapeutic alliance. Have you ever considered what your body may tell you about your clients and what resonances you may be carrying

in your body from them at a somatic non-verbal level?

This experiential workshop will aid your inquisitiveness about your body and how it may hold the answers to why you feel stuck with some clients, how others create a discomfort in you and those with whom you feel so comfortable that therapeutic progress appears to progress very slowly.

 

FEE: £75 per person
