Overview
In these challenging times our clients, as well as our friends, family and colleagues, are probably needing extra support. As a Craniosacral Therapist, you are accustomed to providing support through hands-on touch. With social distancing, this is not possible. Even as it does become possible again, we are likely to encounter upset, anxiety, depression, fear, overwhelm and confusion generated by the pandemic and all the unknowns and changes related to it. Our ability to talk with our clients in calming, reassuring, settling and healing ways has become perhaps even more essential.
******************
Verbal skills are an essential aspect of working with clients. In teaching Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, it is not unusual to have students who are uncomfortable with this aspect of our work. As bodyworkers, they are used to working with their hands but may be less adept at speaking during session work. After graduation, some practitioners forget or avoid practicing these important skills.
******************
If you find yourself feeling challenged in this area of skill, or would like more ways to support your clients in settling deeper, or meeting challenges or trauma arising in session work, this webinar class is for you!
******************
The course is set up in three 1.5 hour classes on Zoom. Each includes a settling meditation, review of the topic, a live demonstration of Cherionna working with one of the students in the class, handouts for specific verbal skills, a chance to practice with a partner in Zoom meeting rooms during the class, with time for questions and discussion.
******************
