82. Why good therapy is more like improv than therapy
from The Healing Embodied Podcast · host Chelsea Horton
So many helpers, coaches, therapists, and space-holders were trained to ask:What’s the right thing to say?What intervention do I use next?How do I do this correctly?What if I mess it up?Which means they end up in their heads instead of in relationship. But effective somatic facilitation asks something different of us.It asks us to:trust ourselvesstay grounded in our bodiesattune deeplyuse what’s happening in the momentco-create with the person in front of usThat’s why Sarah and I created Intro to Somatic Facilitation: a 5-week course designed to help you build the foundational skills of embodied, attuned, creative facilitation.Inside, we’ll explore:somatic attunementobserving and working with the bodystaying grounded in your own body during sessionusing somatic intelligence in real timeallowing sessions to unfold skillfully, rather than forcing themJoin Intro to Somatic Facilitation HERE.Want to learn more about our approach to the body/mind connection and somatic healing?
