Course Description
What happens in the therapeutic or healing setting is more than two (or more) people sharing the same space. Both client and practitioner influence the state of each other’s nervous system and energy field, and co-create a dance of relating. Because we are inherently relational, we are never ‘not’ in relationship with each other or this field. This co-created relational field exits within a wider field that is always present. As physics and science are evidencing, this wider field is comprised of limitless energy that exists around us and in our DNA. Some might call this a field of greater consciousness.
Through our own embodiment, presence and intention, we can attune to this field and generate impactful interventions for our clients. Rather than the practitioner being the holding environment, we become aware that the holding environment is the field itself.
This interactive workshop invites you delve into your own bodily experience and how you approach your therapeutic/healing work. To support your learning, experiential exercises, interventions, and didactic content will explore:
- polyvagal/nervous system regulation
- the heart-brain connection,
- the human biofield and ‘subtle energy’
- the role of embodiment in attunement and resonance
- the mutual impact that we and our clients have on one another
- trauma from an energetic and relational perspective
