Working with Erotic Charge

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.

Exploring a theoretical framework to make sense of the embodied, relational complexity that may unfold when the erotic emerges in therapy.

When the erotic enters the therapy room, we can be swept by strong emotions such as arousal, disgust, enchantment, love, hate. This is complex, often subtle work, demanding integrity and rigour. I have been running workshops and webinars for the past 12 years on the theme of erotic charge. There is often a mix of excitement, nervousness, and keen interest; an aliveness that feels ultimately life affirming. I will be offering a theoretical framework to make sense of the embodied, relational complexity that can often unfold when the erotic emerges. I will be aiming to normalise the experience and support you to draw from your existing skill base. I’m interested in raising awareness of assumptions and biases around sex, gender, and relationship diversity; holding a space of enquiry around how differences in these areas may play out within the erotic charge. The morning webinar will combine theoretical input, group discussion, explorations in breakout rooms and supervision. The workshop will be limited to 15 participants.This webinar would serve as a useful 'taster' for the Playing with Fire online nine month training starting Oct 2024. Playing with Fire explores how working in an embodied, relational and wild way can support the decolonisation of your practice.Link to Webinar page<a href="https://www.allisonpriestman.org/webinars" title="https://www.allisonpriestman.org/webinars" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> https://www.allisonpriestman.org/webinars</a>Link to ERT website: Price £50.
