Abstract 

Facilitated by leading authors and practitioners in the field of Body Psychotherapy, this experiential conference will operationalize the neurobiology and embodied experience of relational connection through a wide variety of didactic and experiential workshops.

Attendees will broaden their understanding of the current new developments underway in the field of Body Psychotherapy.

1)   Define relational connection and interpersonal resonance, its risks and protective factors;

2)   Incorporate updated interpersonal neurobiology research to enhance relational therapeutic proficiency;

3)   Utilize a variety of body-based interventions and verbal and nonverbal approaches to increase interoceptive awareness and somatic regulation; 

4)   Integrate bidirectional psychobiological bottom up and top down resources for the therapeutic resolution of emotional suffering; 

5)   Identify personal needs for nourishing connection, healthy boundaries, and biopsychosocial self-care.
