USABP Spotlight Webinar Series and the Bodynamic Institute Present...
Creating New Psychophysical Resources That Heal Developmental Disruptions:
Working with Muscle Activation and Movement to Resolve Unconscious Limiting Patterns.
Presented by Anne Issacs - live and recorded
Ideas discussed:
- Somatic and psychological development occur simultaneously
- What muscles need to be used to create new resources
- Example of how grounding develops and how each stage of grounding has a different flavor
- How developing specific physiological/psychological resources can support changes in psychological and relational/attachment states of mind
- The present day experience of embodying new somatic, relational and psychological competency can create life-changing outcomes
- Differences in how to work with unconscious given up, parasympathetic states, (hypo strategies of protection,) and held back, sympathetic states, (hyper protective strategies)
- The ability to contain the work to the developmental stage of the issue leads to fuller integration into their daily life
- Difference between trauma, developmental trauma, and developmental disruptions
- Working specifically with missing developmental disruptions can create resources that allow working with trauma easier
