The American Dance Therapy Association
presents:
Becoming an Embodied Therapist:
Accessing the Language of the Body in Treatment
Presented by:
Susan Kleinman, MA, BC-DMT, NCC
Thursday, September 23, 2010
Marriott New York at Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn, NY
6 CE Credits
This is a full day seminar offering the opportunity for professionals to learn how to discover and trust their innate ability to "attend" empathically, respond authentically, and translate non-verbal experiences into cognitive insights. Experiential body/mind exercises based on dance/movement therapy principles will be used along with didactic presentation, to integrate a more embodied approach into traditional psychotherapy theory and practice. Participants will learn how embodied methods can be used to treat eating disorders and trauma, with special focus on how to:
- Be more fully present and congruent.
- Facilitate a somatic state of readiness
- Become a more embodied therapist
- Apply nonverbal concepts and techniques that deepen the process of expression and communication.
- Utilize treatment techniques based on mind/body congruity to deal with entrenched body-image problems and other issues underlying treatment of eating disorders, addiction and trauma.
- Define and understand the importance of developing a positive body image.
- Track the process of therapy so as to not become lost in the experience of attending.
This seminar is being sponsored by the American Dance Therapy Association as part of their 45th Annual Conference, Creating the Mind-Body Mosaic: Theory, Research and Practice in Dance/Movement Therapy. The ADTA (Provider #5739) is recognized by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) and will offer six continuing education hours for attendance at this seminar.
