Description

Intention, Inner Physician and Dialogue – Deepening Principles and Practice of Upledger CranioSacral Therapy

This workshop is designed to teach participants how the SomatoEmotional Release® technique may integrate with various creative imagery and dialoguing methods. Class participants become more proficient in the SER techniques and focus on the development of therapeutic imagery and dialoguing skills, as well as review and enlarging upon the release techniques for the avenue of expression. The goal is a comfortable holistic mind-body approach to the resolution of problems and obstacles related to patient/client progress and growth.

The class begins with a review of the techniques taught in CST2 & SER1 to encourage the expression of suppressed emotion through the release of the throat and hard palate. This is followed by an introduction to psychosynthesis and Gestalt and Jungian psychology.

By blending concepts from three schools of psychology with SER and CST, you will add a range of more specific techniques to your toolbox to enable you to work with patients and increase awareness of the ‘inner self’. As in all our courses, participation and practice with fellow students helps you increase both your own self-awareness and your confidence in your practice, strengthening the relationship between the conscious and non-conscious mind, and expanding the ways you can assist your clients.

Course Outcomes

By the end of this 4-day workshop you should be able to:

  • Appreciate the history, key concepts and therapeutic process of psychosynthesis and Gestalt and Jungian psychology
  • Explore practical application of the integration of the above with SomatoEmotional Release and therapeutic imagery and dialogue
  • Review of throat and hard palate techniques for releasing the vocal apparatus
  • Explore methods for inviting a solicited image, maintaining it and discovering an image’s purpose
  • Develop skills for facilitating dialogue between the patient’s levels of consciousness
  • Explore exercises in active imagination, archetypes, self awareness and dialogue and facilitated imagery
  • Practice a 10-step protocol for imagery and dialogue
  • Refine therapeutic presence and the benefit of continued focus on using the craniosacral rhythm to keep ‘on track’
  • Trust your hands more as you experience the gentleness and safety of the SER approach and see the benefits that ensue

The SomatoEmotional Release® process requires extreme sensitivity on the part of the therapist, and a positive attitude and trust from the patient. The SER2 workshop gives you a greater insight into your patient’s issues and specific techniques that enable you to fine-tune your dialoguing skills.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of SER1 workshop and practice using the techniques during at least 25 treatments
