Sandra Lauffenburger and Olivia Wilson warmly invite you to participate in a training opportunity that integrates theoretical understanding of a contemporary psychodynamic framework with body\/movement-oriented experiential skills and learning. We, ourselves, are theoretically informed by psychodynamic Self Psychology and Intersubjectivity Theory which we interweave with therapeutic somatic\/movement\/touch work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Psychodynamic Self Psychology offers a developmental, affective, relational, intersubjective and non-pathologising approach to case formulation and treatment progression. Its theory will be presented, however, we believe that the most powerful way to understand theory is through exploring one\u2019s own bodily experience, individually and while in relationship with another.\u00a0 Equally, we believe that the most powerful way to work with a client\u2019s embodied emotional experience requires the same types of personal and dyadic explorations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The intent of this training is to increase capacity and confidence in being more present with ourselves and to our clients\u2019 dynamic self-states, as well as being able to \u2018map\u2019, understand and respond to the intersubjective experience of being with our client(s) over time.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This is currently the only training program in the ACT, and possibly in Australasia, where therapists have the opportunity to explore working in a psychodynamic framework using body-oriented and somatic understanding and involving somatic experience, movement and touch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This training will occur IN PERSON only over two years of four (two day) weekends per year.\u00a0 Effective training requires building a relationally safe, respectful, non-shaming and confidential group space. Therefore, in order to create a cohesive and safe group experience, a commitment to regular in-person attendance to all eight weekend workshops is required from those who wish to attend.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In our experience our approach, which uses the body\/movement as part of a psychoanalytic psychodynamic framework and which we call Somatic Intersubjective Self Psychology, is profoundly helpful for mapping \u201cwhere we are \u201cand \u201cwhat is needed next\u201d with clients who present with unique and\/or challenging affective states and needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
