Description

The body’s intelligence is largely an untapped resource in psychotherapy.  Few educational programs in psychology or counseling emphasize how to draw on the wisdom of the body to support therapeutic change, leaving therapists mostly dependent on a client’s verbal narrative.  Yet the story told by the “somatic narrative”—gesture, posture, prosody, facial expressions, eye gaze, and movement—is arguably more significant than the story told by the words.  This talk will elucidate the wisdom of the body and how to tap the body itself to support therapeutic goals.
