IC11 Short Course 20 - The Therapist on Stage: How to Activate the Body's Thinking Through Acting Techniques - Antonella Monini, MD

Description:

Communicating and understanding others, beyond the verbal language, are interactional motor experiences: the Mirror Neurons are the biological base of intentional attunement and underpin the ability to perceive the difference between action and mere movement. In this experiential workshop, therapists will learn ways to successfully interweave somatic awareness techniques to facilitate their ability to listen and respond to their embodied emotions. A variety of exercises from acting techniques will be taught that promote body language for communication avoiding cognitive processes to utilize the creative resources and to improve flexibility through self-exploration and self-expression.

Educational Objectives:

1. Experience and describe how intentional attunement enhances the power of relationship and the effectiveness of therapy.
2. Describe how to better utilize our neurophysiological resources as therapists.
