Embodiment & Body Psychotherapy  webinar

Hi I’m Allison Priestman. I am a white, slim, cis gendered woman; living and struggling with both my disability and my ableism. I have been working as an Embodied-Relational Therapist for over 20 years. I'm continually being woken up, challenged and nourished by my contact with clients, supervises and trainees. At this time of climate, diversity and equality crises, I’m interested in being part of a collective understanding of their interwoven causes. And part of a collective search for a way forward.I’m interested in creating training spaces from three-hour webinars to the two year-long residential Embodied- Relational Therapy training, which allow participants to drop deeply into themselves. Combining experiential learning with rigorous theoretical input. Supporting practitioners to relax into the complexities and paradoxes of working as a therapist. Of supporting work from the non-expert position.I'm re-running for the fourth time my Playing with Fire Online Course Oct 2024- June 2025. Exploring an Embodied, Relational, Intersectional and Wild Therapeutic Approach. How can working in an embodied, relational and wild way support the decolonisation of your practise?https://www.allisonpriestman.org/copy-of-playing-with-fireMore information to follow in the new year. Please note I will be running a series of Friday morning webinars in the Spring and Summer to act as tasters for the training.The next Embodied-Relational Therapy two year training begins in Juner 2025. It’s a robust, immersive, modular, residential training that will be run from Devon this year. I will be co-running the first year with Stephen Tame. For more information and the application documents please check out theEmbodied-Relational Therapy website.

On this webinar we will explore- what is embodiment? How can we support a meaningful integration of embodiment into our practice?

“We do not have bodies we are bodies.… I do not own it or inhabit it, from it, I arise.” Intelligence in the Flesh, Guy ClaxtonOn this webinar we will explore- what is embodiment? How can we support a meaningful integration of embodiment into our practice? How do we support and embrace our different bodies?Embodiment is central to our existence, yet embodiment is not supported by western mainstream culture. To be at home in our bodies we need to start from our present lived experience. We also need to challenge dualistic thinking and unconscious internalised prejudice.On this webinar I’d like to:•	Unpack what it means to be an embodied and extended system.•	Find a balance between theoretical and intuitive ways of knowing. Exploring embodied thinking and intelligent movement.•	To begin an exploration of marginalisation. Both how embodiment itself is marginalised and how to work with our own and our clients’ embodied experiences of marginalisation.Suitable for counsellors, psychotherapists and allied practitioners who want to welcome embodiment into your work. It will be a useful taster for the 2022 Embodied-Relational Therapy training starting in April. Places will be limited to 12. A few concessionary places are available at £25, please contact me if you wish to book one. I hope you can join me. Allison
