This highly interactive workshop provides an in-depth look at the development of relational dynamics and the process of navigating rupture and repair cycles in ways that address understanding and healing attachment wounds and building capacity to be in healthy, meaningful relationships. Using a combination of lecture, experiential exercises, demonstration and real time practice, you will understand how the physical body and primary structures of attachment are part of the relational field, intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics and non-verbal communication.
During the course, we will:
1) Discover that the role of sensorimotor developmental movements are part of attachment styles, affect regulation and relational development.
2) Learn to repair attachment disruption and support self-regulation by adding relational and movement strategies to your clinical work with couples and individuals.
3) Develop skills to teach couples and families that support connection and co-regulation deepen your understanding of the neuroscience of human relationships.
4) Explore the role of the polyvagal theory in relational dynamics and the rupture – repair cycle increase knowledge and awareness of attachment structures (physical movements) and how they impact relationships.
5) Use developmental movements to help clients change long-standing attachment challenges that play out in their relationships.
6) Explore the connections between the neuroanatomy of development and relational rupture and repair.
7) Learn to work with the neuroception of safety to address what needs to be healed that lies underneath the issues, underneath the words.
