| Fri, Nov 13 2009 - Fri, Dec 10 | Body Oriented Psychotherapy, Trauma Work and Gestalt, Jaylynne Chase-Jacobsen and Betty Cannon, BPI - 303 494 0393 This workshop looks at the ways in which several specifically body oriented psychotherapy techniques may enhance traditional Gestalt work. Reichean/bioenergetic work provides techniques for recognizing and working with stuck emotional patterns in the body musculature (character structure), while several different approaches to trauma provide ways of understanding and working with stuck patterns in the autonomic nervous system. We will pay particular attention to choosing appropriate levels of intervention (body, emotion, meaning) in working with clients with different character structures. We will also consider the question of when cathartic work is appropriate and when it is not - a question that students studying Gestalt and truma approaches frequently ask. Learn More. Sign Up. |

| Thu, Apr 29 - Sat, May 1 | Divorce Busting Intensive Workshop with Michele Weiner-Davis, 303-444-7004 Michele Weiner-Davis has developed an effective model for working with couples experiencing very challenging problems. Since recognizing that the real challenge in couples work is combating hopelessness, she developed tools for reaching inside people’s hearts - helping them believe that change is possible - and then showing them how to get there. Although this approach incorporates solution-oriented therapy, Michele has gone beyond the limits of the therapy model to access couples’ marriage-saving values in order to stack the deck in favor of the marriage. The Divorce Busting® approach incorporates marriage education and wisdom Michele has gleaned from nearly three decades of specializing in work with couples on the brink. In addition to teaching this comprehensive Divorce Busting® model that can be used in clinical, pastoral or military settings, Michele will also show you how to develop and market your own marriage seminar by introducing you to two marriage classes you can teach “right out of the box.” Plus, if you’re interested in becoming part of Michele’s Divorce Busting® Coaching Team, this intensive is the first step. If you work with couples and are committed to helping them resolve their differences rather than dissolve their marriages, you won’t want to miss this intensive training. Learn More... |
