The Body Knows: How to Work with the Dimensions of the Physical in Wellness and Healing

 Professional training with CE credits
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 26, 2019 in Lancaster, Pa.
There’s been a greater interest in the body in recent years when it comes to psychotherapy, healing, coaching and other ways of working with psychotherapy, personal growth and learning.
Given the Psychotherapy Networker’s current issue focuses on “a more embodied psychotherapy,” we will explore and practice several ways that helping and healing professionals can safely work with the body .

Psychodrama, often considered the first modern body therapy melded with the creative arts, gives us many ways to work with the body, including the classic double and the specialized  Body Double, which is part of the Therapeutic Spiral Model,  which can be adapted in numerous situations. The newer Family Constellations introduces us to the power of our body’s knowing what the brain does not know – and we learn how it can provide us with information that we cannot discover consciously.

In this training, you will have the opportunity to learn about several experiential methods and interventions that promote body awareness and body safety. Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, will demonstrate how to address the body with your clients, students and others.

In this training, you will learn:

  • How to be “with” the body on a deeper level, going beyond the usual conventions of seeing the body as simply decorative or physical achievement through sports.
  • Prompts to introduce to your clients, students and others to consider their body, whatever shape, age or physical condition, with greater tenderness and compassion.
  • How the experiential methods of psychodrama and Family Constellations address the body for greater awareness and healing.
  • How to support trauma survivors to gain greater safety in the bodies, particularly with strength-building activities and the use of the Body Double.
  • Simple body postures that can be used to relax, energize or create calm.
  • How to include the intergenerational heritage contained in our bodies, including that of inherited trauma, in your work with bodies.

Who will benefit

This training is designed for mental health professionals and professional helpers, including social workers, marriage and family therapists, licensed counselors, addictions counselors, physicians, nurses, creative arts therapists, massage therapists and bodyworkers, alternative health practitioners, life coaches, educators, clergy, clinical supervisors, administrators, youth leaders, group leaders, graduate students and others interested in experiential psychotherapy and experiential learning.
