Webinar Description

LIVE 90-minute webinar

This webinar offers insights into body-based methods you can use to support clients to safely feel their feelings. Many clients resist feeling, fearing being incapacitated by overwhelm or a collapse state. Resisting can lead to dissociation, disconnection and suppression resulting in further challenges and illness.

Through understanding the charge of a rising feeling and using body-awareness, movement and creative-reflection to identify and work with the feeling, we can safely support clients to begin this process and resource themselves. A client-centred approach where they have full agency and choice.

In this 90-minute workshop, you will be invited to experience this process for yourself. Guided by Movement & Expressive Arts Therapy Facilitator, Cathy Williams, you will moved organically through body-awareness, identification, allowing/being with, expression of, shifting/transforming and integration.

Be inspired with embodied knowledge and understanding of ways you can begin to weave body-awareness, movement practices and creative-reflection into your existing practices and work with clients and groups.

These methods can be useful for clinicians working across the lifespan.
