The Body and Counter Transference
Allison Priestman & Tyagi, February 23/24, Ł110 Stroud

Working with clients we all have, at times, difficult and intense responses. On this workshop we will explore all of the varied ways we respond and react to our clients, discerning ways to safely make use of this in the therapeutic process. This is an experiential workshop, focusing particularly on our embodied responses, our embodied counter transference. Looking at impulses to move, gut reactions, images and fantasies. How do we decipher what’s mine and what’s my clients? How can we witness and creatively use our responses without acting out from them?

On this workshop you will get a chance to experiment and take risks with your work in a supportive group. We will introduce theory from Body Psychotherapy, Field theory and Psychodynamic ideas to support and understand our experiences. This workshop is suitable for anyone who does one to one therapeutic work with clients, in a wide range of contexts.

Tyagi

I am a counsellor, body psychotherapist, meditation teacher and complementary therapist. I also co-ordinate a national telephone helpline. I work in a very accepting and permission-giving way with individuals, encouraging them to move expansively on their life journey. I love to work - and play - with sensory input, and am interested in what happens when this is not available. I live in Sheffield within easy reach of both city centre amenities and the countryside of the Peak District, feeding my love of both caffeine and nature !
