Workshop V: Pesso-Boyden Psychotherapy
Faculty: Albert Pesso
Section I: Fundamentals of body-based techniques and their use in creation of new memories that ameliorate the affects of traumatic histories and maturational deficits. Interventions that provide limits for overwhelming emotional impulses to reverse the traumatic consequences of loss of self-control and help return a sense of meaning to life. Section II: Holes in Roles. A perspective on the compassionate response of children who have heard stories of traumatic histories of present and long dead family members and its paradoxical consequences. Live demonstrations applying PBSP "structures" will illustrate how to create new, need satisfying, symbolic memories for clients that help them handle the normal vicissitudes of life."
