Dealing with Stuck Places
Elaine Rosenson, LMFT
May 15, 2021
1:00 – 5:00 PM PST
A somatically Safe Event
Protection patterns that are familiar, yet mostly unconscious, help us stay safe but are unable to respond in new ways to the demands of growing-up and facing the challenges of life.
The simple theory and process of Voice Dialogue creates a lived experience of your whole self and gets to the root of these automatic protective patterns. Voice Dialogue allows participants to access these parts of themselves in revealing, therapeutic, and uniquely enlightening ways. This experiential non-pathological process empowers clients to honor both conscious and unconscious aspects of themselves to make room for new vital energies. Voice Dialogue is deeply accepting and respectful of the client’s experience.
The Voice Dialogue perspective will add insight and creativity to all types of therapy.
At the end of the workshop students will be able to:
- Identify the primary selves that contribute to stuck places
- Explore how to create a Voice Dialogue session
- Identify ways to integrate Voice Dialogue within students clinical perspective
- Experience a compassionate center so we can experience more choice
- Differentiate primary and disowned selves,
- Explore self-assessment and dyads for Voice Dialogue practice
This workshop will include didactics, demonstration, experiential dyads and group debriefing.
- Introduction to the Psychology of Selves: How the psyche functions to protect vulnerability
- Demonstration of a Voice Dialogue Session
- Experiential Practice of Voice Dialogue by participants in dyads
- Fine Points of Facilitating a session with emphasis on deciding
