Body Psychotherapy Training  2019

Body Psychotherapy Training 2019

January 17, 2019January 17, 2019in News, Uncategorized

Learning’s – Continual Professional Development (CPD’S) for 2019 –

Super excited to be starting my training next month in Brighton towards becoming a Body Psychotherapist. I can’t wait to learn more about the wisdom and science behind why the body plays such a vital role in healing past psychological trauma. The learning in this field is extremely vast and science is coming up with more and more evidence each day supporting the positive effects of bodywork and getting to the real root of our trauma. Trauma embeds itself much deeper than I’d ever understood. It wasn’t until I began working with private clients several years ago and studying trauma further that I began to witness and understand, at a more profound level, the power of the body centred approach to healing trauma – yoga being my main model of self practice and professional practice. This year, however, I’ll complete my ‘Crisis and Trauma Counselling’ diploma and ‘Body Listening Therapy’ training. As a way of broadening my skillset in the field of cognitive and somatic therapies. I’m really excited to learn and share my new combined knowledge and practice with some of you in 2019.

“Body psychotherapy encompasses a range of body-centred approaches to therapy and personal growth. It can involve working with the bodymind through breath, movement and direct contact, alongside traditional psychotherapeutic skills. The common theme is the sense that our body holds old patterns, memories and traumas that are stuck, frozen, out of awareness. They are waiting to be revealed and released, given space, safety and encouragement. Something is ready to move in all of us – the therapy space or the group room provides the container for movement to happen. Our bodies respond with surprising enthusiasm to being given attention and permission. This work invites mindful awareness of what happens in our bodies – both therapist and client – as we explore relationship.

One of the key skills in body psychotherapy is what we call Bodylistening – paying attention to the body’s many channels of communication to guide the healing process. Bodylistening skills can be a major resource for those working in the healing professions. It can assist counsellors and psychotherapists who wish to bring more body wisdom to the exploration of the psyche. It is also essential for bodyworkers (massage therapists, yoga teachers, etc) who need to handle the responses which their work can often trigger.

​Body psychotherapy provides a focus for many overlapping fields. There is a growing convergence in understanding the links between childhood development, neuropsychology, psychoanalytic theory, and the body-centred approach of modern post-Reichians and somatic psychologists. It invites creative exploration of the body as process – through movement, imagery and interaction – and an appreciation of the social, political and ecological questions of embodiment. It also offers a gateway to the mysterious, mystical and transpersonal realms, investigating the nature of self, and embodied awareness.”
