Description
Dive into the transformative practice of psychomotor psychotherapy, guided by principles from Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) Structures and Psychodrama, as highlighted by Bessel van der Kolk in The Body Keeps the Score.
This workshop blends didactic learning with video demonstration to explore how attachment wounds and our predictive relational templates can be healed through embodied attunement and communally-oriented group practices. Participants will engage with core PBSP concepts like the literal and symbolic needs of attachment, shape, countershape, and the creation of fostering deeper understanding and practical tools for clinical application.
- Understand Core Concepts of PBSP - Participants will gain an introductory understanding of key principles in Pesso-Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP), including shape, countershape, and the creation of “good inner objects.”
- Recognize the Impact of Attachment Wounds - Through a framework that identifies our basic needs, participants will analyze how early attachment wounds manifest in the body and psyche, and how PBSP interventions support repair.
- Observe and Analyze Video Demonstrations - Participants will critically engage with a video case example to understand the application of PBSP in real therapeutic settings.
