Training Details

This is a new advanced workshop therapists  looking to understand, apply, and incorporate the power of the expressive arts into their therapeutic tool kit. The expressive arts takes people deeply subcortical and accesses their unconscious and implicit memories, in a language that comes through mark making, shapes, colours, and texture; that open up new doorways to accessing unknown and perhaps misunderstood traumatic experiences and challenges in our lives, including how they have played out.

Over the three days we will delve into:

• Introduction into the history and role of the expressive arts in supporting a person's healing;
• The three phased trauma informed approach to working with our clients. Each phase will be addressed with resources to understanding the neurobiology of trauma and how to unlock our client's stuckness in hyper or hypo arousal States. The resources that will be introduced are somatic-based (neurophysiological) approaches to cultivate and grow capacity for our clients;
• Several experiential and expressive arts based 'journeys' that you will undertake as individuals to experience the depth of introducing the expressive arts into your practice, including a a journey into dreams;
• Dyad practicums where you will explore the expressive arts, how we will create the BSP Frame and work with all the principles of Attunement, W.A.I.T, Tail of the Comet, and Uncertainty;
• Discover the power of INTUITIVE BRAINSPOTS

Expect to develop your intuition, delve deeply into the unknown as we work with the expressive arts and the uncertainty of the emerging metaphors that our clients will discover and the new narratives and trauma processing that may come forward.
