As Body Psychotherapists it is important to learn and understand movement patterning and body organization from a theoreti- cal perspective, from an observational perspective, and from an embodied, personal perspective. Each of these perspectives works in tandem with the others to bring deeper meaning and clarity to the unique and diverse movement repertoires that therapists will encounter in the clinical environment. The focus of this workshop is on learning the experiential and kinesthetic aspects of developmental movement and somatic patterning drawing from the Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP) and Laban Movement Analysis (LMA).

General Description:Having basic counseling skills and an intention to be of service provide an excellent foundation for beginning therapists, however, being a well-meaning therapist is usually not enough when working with clients who present with a complex array of psychosocial challenges. The skill set that is required in these situations requires an understanding of the self of the therapist, the developmental processes that shape the client's sense of identity, and the intersubjective field that exists between the therapist and the client. Comprehending and cultivating these abilities demands an advanced level of clinical training that is rooted in a deep therapeutic presence, keen theoretical understanding human development, and nuanced application of skills in creative and spontaneous ways that are adapted to the uniqueness of each individual.
