Somatic Interventions in Practice

May 9-10, 2008
Friday and Saturday
Workshop #308

With Judy Swallow

Location: Ulster County, NY
(overnight accommodations are available)

Somatic interventions

Our history is held in our bodies. Most of our stories are told with words, but there is another level; an unconscious story that is told through the movements, postures, gestures and holding patterns of the body.

Through the use of imagery and body/mind awareness, you will be able to better listen to and understand what our bodies our trying to tell us. You will discover ways to help clients (AND YOURSELF) become aware of how our bodies inform our attitudes and decisions. In this highly experiential workshop you will learn ways to access stored somatic truth and uncover possibilities for expansion, change and healing.

This workshop will teach psychophysical experiments to use with clients as well as somatic interventions for self- soothing and grounding. We will also practice specific psychodramatic techniques such as doubling, role reversal, maximizing and concretizing.

Please wear comfortable clothing that allow freedom of movement.

Students at all levels of experience are welcomed. Overnight accommodations are available.
