Abstract:
This workshop is an experiential workshop that will provide an overview of the theoretical orientation presented below. Participants will be guided in a series of dyad and triad exercises designed to illuminate participants’ relationship to their survival styles and their related core dilemmas and reveal how the survival styles served to protect the attachment relationship. In the NARM community, as seems consistent with the general culture of somatic therapy practitioners, we understand that being familiar with our own personal experience of developmental trauma helps us better guide our clients through the therapeutic process. The questions used in the exercises are ones that participants can also use with clients. With developmental trauma, the mind-body connection shifts from one of ease to dis-ease, and these exercises are aimed at bringing awareness to that shift and inviting a repair of the mind-body connection.
