WHEN TALK IS NOT ENOUGH:

NON-VERBAL TECHNIQUES FOR ALL CLINICIANS

By

Susan Spiegel, PhD,  Alexis Selwood, PhD,  Linda Waters, PhD

Increasingly, neurobiology emphasizes the importance of the mind-body connection. As clinicians, we help clients understand this connection. We use somatic-mindfulness as an effective pathway to deeper levels of therapeutic awareness and behavioral change. This presentation will provide an introduction to non-verbal techniques that facilitate somatic-mindfulness. These are techniques that every clinician can easily use in their practice.

Participants of this workshop will be introduced to:

1. How to integrate non-verbal techniques into their psychotherapy practice.

2. The importance of understanding how our bodies hold our histories, both traumatic and developmental.

3. A demonstration of working non-verbally with boundary issues.

4. A demonstration of how drawing can increase somatic-mindfulness..
