Relational Living Body Psychotherapy

Workshop dates in Birmingham for 2010

Over the years Julianne has developed her approach of the 'Relational Living Body Psychotherapy' (RLBP). She is looking forward to sharing this fascinating way of working with you.
With this workshops you are invited on a journey into the wisdom of the Living Body. We will draw on exercises, experiential process, live supervision and live demonstrations. Key points are:
Experiencing yourself as a Living Body
The non-verbal language in which the Living Body communicates
The healing power of a 'Relational Living Body to Living Body Communication'
Psychosomatic symptoms and chronic pain as unheard stories in the Living Body

Julianne Appel-Opper is UKCP reg. Integrative and Gestalt Psychotherapist, Psychol. Psychotherapist (German State Reg. Psychotherapist), Clinical Psychologist, Supervisor and Trainer with 20 years' clinical experience. In Germany she worked in psychosomatic clinics with a wide range of clients, individually and in groups. For twelve years she lived and worked in various countries (France, Israel, California and U.K.) She is now in private practice in Berlin, Germany.
Julianne has developed her approach of the RLBP which she has taught internationally. RLBP has its roots in Gestalt Psychotherapy and draws on concepts from Dialogical Gestalt Psychotherapy and ideas from Relational Psychoanalysis. Therapist and client work within the co-created embodied field. The interventions and experiments are introduced in a mindful step-by-step process in which therapist and client bodily co-refer to each other. The broadcasted messages of the body of the client get acknowledged, validated and receive resonances and embodied messages by the therapist. The Relational Living Body to Living Body Communication reaches and accesses the implicit relational knowledge and makes healing and change possible.
