Course Description
Neuroscientists now insist that one must work with the physical body in psychotherapy. Less than 1% of psychotherapists have training, much less any idea, how to do this. Indeed, physical touch is prohibited by some ethical codes. In truth, not only is physical touch inherently confusing, but working with the body on any level also tests the appropriate boundaries of the majority of therapists. How do we solve this dilemma?
Goals and Objectives
Participants will:
- Witness levels on which the body can be addressed in psychotherapy. Ethical considerations.
- Bring in their own cases of body level interventions, if any. Some cases will be reviewed for learning purposes.
- Make critical self-evaluations regarding their status and relative need for further training.
The IIGP Faculty, CME committee members and the presenters receive no commercial support.
