Heartburn: The Truth about Lies
Friday, October 29, 2010A soul scorching series of scenes, songs, and mini-lectures that answer the questions: Is there a connection between developmental wounds and behaviors of lying, secret keeping and betrayals? If so, how can that information be made practical and useful to our clients and us?
A client couple arrives at our office and there is suspicion of a secret, hidden. Is it our job to ferret it out? If so, how?
Anna and Ryan, married 10 years, arrive at your office. Anna reveals, “He’s distant lately and says he has to work longer hours. Should I be worried? He’s always been straight with me before, but this time, well, I’m not sure. He says I’m crazy jealous. What do I do?”
Once the affair has been acknowledged, how do we re-start a connection between them, when one needs to speak about the hurt, and the other can’t bear to hear it? How, as change agents, can we help clients access, feel and express remorse?
“Now he says it was a one time thing and I’m blowing it up for nothing. He says he loves me, he’s not going anywhere and I should get over it. If only he would try to understand.”
Ryan eyes narrow. He slams her with his words, “I understand alright. I understand she won’t let it go and she’s ripping my heart out!”What do we know and how can we move hurt clients towards forgiveness? empowerment?
Join us for a day of education and entertainment set to the tune and panache of a Broadway play.

Embodied Life
Dec 4, 5, 2010; Feb 12, 13 and April 2,3, 2011December 4, 5: Your Embodied Experience Our experience is enlivened to the degree that we are connected to our whole being. Awareness of our own internal sensations support our ability to self-regulate and informs our choice of actions. In this segment of the series you will be supported in increasing your awareness and comfort with your own somatic experience.
February 12, 13: Embodied Communication in the Client Relationship We communicate our inner emotional experience and our implicit models of the world through both the verbal and the non-verbal. In this segment, you will learn to be more fully present with your own embodied experience and that of your client. You will increase your ability to attend to gesture, posture, pace, tension or relaxation of muscles and other somatic events occurring in the relational field, and to practice oscillation of awareness.
April 2, 3: Trauma and the Brain in the Embodied Field Trauma affects the musculature structure of our body, the fluidity of our movements, our breathing, and the structure of our brain. You will learn some of the ways trauma is embodied, to offer concrete supports to clients when overwhelming feelings threaten, and to sequence and adjust the dialogic experience to support the client's stage of healing.
