Working with “Suffering Heads,” (traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s) and / or headaches) requires the Biodynamic practitioner to bring forth a wide spectrum of perceptual and palpatory skills, while at the same time remaining grounded in the basic skills of being and relationship. It compels us to find within ourselves a depth of compassion and understanding, while at the same time becoming comfortable with uncertainty. And especially, it necessitates that we “trust the Tide,” and remember that the “treatment plan is inherent in the disturbance.”
In these workshops I will share with you a wide array of approaches – a smorgasbord of possible treatment options – that speak to many of the particular facets of TBI and headache presentations, while at the same time helping you to continually re-orient to Primary Respiration and a wide and spacious holding field.
These two workshops seamlessly weave into one another, and you will benefit from taking both parts of the 2-part series. However, for your convenience, you can take whichever days work for you. As with my other special online classes, these classes will also be available as recordings.
