What is DreamWork/BodyWork?

 
Psychotherapists, social workers, and practitioners who work employ body-related therapies understand that all people experience trauma; and that healing trauma is best resolved at nonverbal levels.  Working with individual dreams and images, DreamWork/BodyWork demonstrates a model for empowering the dreamer, while simultaneously providing a path for understanding the trauma and its resolution.

Special Event

 

TWO-HOUR INTRODUCTION TO EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE/TAPPING $15

Prior to the DreamWork/BodyWork Workshop, on Saturday from 1-3 p.m., Dr. Suzan Thompson will present this two-hour introduction:

Experience a powerful tool for personal transformation that combines two well-established sciences, mind-body medicine and acupressure, so you can benefit from both at the same time.

You'll come away from this workshop with a new, cutting-edge technique to begin to transform your energy, thoughts and feelings.

This 2-hour workshop is a combination of information, activities, learning tools and resources.

You will...

· Find out about the fundamentals of energy psychology and EFT/tapping
· Learn the background knowledge you need to begin to transform your own experiences.
· Develop your skills by participating in experiential exercises, and
· Fine-tune your personal approach to dealing with life's difficulties, helping you shift your energy related to thoughts and feelings.

We'll work on emotional issues by tapping on certain meridian points with our fingertips. This addresses one cause for emotional issues (unbalanced energy meridians). You'll find that you can often quickly heal emotional and psychological blocks to a healthier expression of thoughts and emotions. And, since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that this energy psychology tool provides incredible physical relief.

Presenter: Suzan K. Thompson, Ph.D., is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice in Virginia Beach, VA. She has a strong interest in integrating complementary and alternative approaches into the counseling process. She uses a variety of healing modalities and specializes in helping people who are struggling with distressing events and trauma.


 
 

The DreamWork/BodyWork Workshop $75

 

Participants can register for these two weekend events separately (if you can only attend one) or together (if you want to attend both). Just follow the simple rules for registration below.

To attain a safe, comfortable and confidential space, participants in this workshop are requested to attend both the Saturday afternoon and full-day Sunday session.

Saturday, April 26, 2014 4 - 6 p.m.
Sunday, April 27, 2014 10a.m. - 6 p.m. (lunch break noon - 1 p.m.)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP

Even if we don't remember dreams on a regular basis, many of us remember dreams from childhood or dreams that are called "peak experiences." DreamWork/BodyWork demonstrates a model that empowers us to listen to our dreams and learn from them at the deepest level of feeling, through accessing body memory. In this way, DreamWork/BodyWork provides the tools for understanding trauma while also accessing the source of potential resolution. Anyone who dreams...or who uses creative imagery...is invited to attend this workshop.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

* To recognize in the body what might be called the initial trauma in someone's life and how that affects responses to subsequent trauma
* To experience how the body holds and records information and how that information can be accessed
* To see how dreams and personal imagery contain the information necessary to allow healing
* To learn something about the process of healing trauma, even "forgotten" trauma

WHAT TO BRING

Bring your dreams. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Feel free to bring a pillow or mat for sitting and working on, snacks, water, and a notebook or recording device (cell phones allowed only if they are very, very quiet).
