Holding and co-creating boundaries when meeting new or challenging patients

Inspiring Averille is coming back to the ESO to host this in person workshop that will build on the online talk from October. However, it's not necessary to have attended the talk - this is for anyone who wants to explore the below topics in a purely interactive, practical and movement based workshop. Comfortable clothing is recommended.

We will look at contexts such as with family sessions, trauma which emerges from difficult labour or birth and difficult social interactions. The material will develop your centering and grounding skills. We will examine interoception, exteroception and touch as a medium for receiving/expressing microvibration. Boundaries kept through inter-personal identification and therapeutic boundaries kept by clear meaning making (developing Mandy Banton's thesis).

All year groups are welcome!
