Working with Defenses–using a Mindful-Somatic approach, April 11-12, IN-PERSON
Working with Defenses–using a Mindful-Somatic approach, April 11-12, IN-PERSON
In this online workshop we will explore what causes people to contract and how mindfulness supports the client's expansion to become their fullest self with the capacity to hold complexities and contradictions in themselves and the world with love and compassion.
When the therapist makes true contact with their client, it is profoundly nourishing. It promotes the safety the client needs to look at the experiences that have caused contraction, disconnection, and other unconscious defenses. We will teach participants about both the SKILL and the STATE of deep contact with clients in the therapeutic relationship.
Using the 5 Principles of Mindfulness, Non-Violence, Unity, Organicity and Mind-Body Wholism, we will guide participants through a series of guided experiential exercises, in dyads and small groups, that will deepen your understanding and personal experience of the power of the Hakomi Method.

Working with Defenses–using a Mindful-Somatic approach, April 11-12, IN-PERSON
In this 2 day introduction to the Hakomi method we will explore client defenses and barriers to
psychological expansion and wellness. Using the Hakomi principles of mindfulness, non-
violence, unity, mind-body wholism and organicity we will learn how to embrace and work with
stuckness and defensiveness. We will develop somatic techniques to support client to get
curious about what blocks them from actualizing their intentions and build therapeutic
interventions that can soften client defenses.
This workshop is open to anyone who has an interest with working somatically with clients;
social workers, psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors, nurses, bodyworkers. No
prerequisite Hakomi training needed.
