Hakomi is a body-centered (somatic) approach. The body is viewed as a “map of the psyche” - a door that can be opened to reveal the entire unconscious belief system of the individual. The body’s habitual patterns can become a powerful access route to deeply held core material.
Current neuroscience research has confirmed the basis for many foundational aspects of the Hakomi Method, including the effectiveness of mindfulness, loving presence, empathic attunement, limbic resonance, and memory reconsolidation.
We develop exquisite sensitivity and attunement, using empathic skills to read and contact subtle, unconscious cues. When integrated into the session with unique Hakomi techniques, it creates a rapid, experiential access route to unconscious core beliefs and implicit memories that invisibly shape our lives and behavior. Once conscious and directly experienced, these are available for memory re- consolidation and transformation, including the healing of attachment issues.This experiential process evokes a powerful “felt sense” for the client, allowing them to take ownership of core patterns as they emerge, and to integrate new options.
This workshop provides an immersive introduction to the Method, this includes lectures from the faculty, experiential exercises, demonstrations, discussion, group process sessions, and Supervision.
Target Audience:
This workshop is designed to provide experiential learning in the Hakomi Method and is also a prerequisite to the Hakomi Comprehensive Training.
Objectives:
-Introduce the unique application of mindfulness that supports access in therapeutic settings
-Practice skills to enhance the therapist's self-regulation & embodiment & therapeutic
relationship.
-Utilize Hakomi principles, e.g. nonviolence in therapy, to create safety for the client
-Discover the importance of the exploratory (experimental) attitude as a key component of the Hakomi Method.
-Recognize the power of noticing the subtle somatic cues of the body & using this as the basis to build on the therapeutic relationship.
-Observe the application of Hakomi skills & principles in the experiential process as a way to access unconscious core material.
