About the workshop:

Our present postural patterns take shape as early as the first year of life and are co-organized through ongoing nonverbal dialogues with our early caregivers. Although these patterns evolve through time, fundamental elements remain with us and continue to shape and be shaped in adult experience. Our postural patterns, then, reveal embodied history as it is elicited and emerges within the present.

This two-day workshop will explore a basic system for analyzing postural patterns of both client and therapist as they emerge within the moment-to-moment processes of therapy. Workshop participants will learn how to bring the prior relational field to awareness — the embodied history and its enduring relational theme — that exists within their client’s and their own emerging postural patterns. Understanding these interactive patterns will enhance therapists’ abilities to observe themselves and their clients within session and to use their observations to make skillful body-based interventions.


The workshop is open to psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, infant educators, physical therapists, mental health counselors from a variety of backgrounds, as well as movement therapists/educators who wish to better understand the relationship between psychological experience and physical expression.
