2024 Intro to the Emotional Body Method
Small Group Study of the Emotional Body method. Receive instruction on the emotional effector patterns and somatic methods that increase self-awareness, emotional fluency, and resilience.
Lessons in this course series provide detailed information on a powerful and effective physical approach to emotion regulation. The Emotional Body® method uses physical patterns discovered in scientific research, and an instructional style informed by extensive research, somatic education theory, and fifteen years of development.
14 hours of online synchronous instruction on the emotional effector patterns and various somatic education methods to increase somatic sensing awareness and learning. A temporary recording of each class meeting will be provided, because we know life happens, and sudden conflicts emerge.
At least 6 additional hours of recorded lessons and written resources to support private practice are also provided and become available before the course begins and remains accessible for a full year!
One private online 30-minute lesson with the instructor, scheduled after completing the full course of study, is also included in the course registration fee.
An online course platform filled with rich materials available to all course members throughout the course including pre-course lessons, reinforcement lessons to assist practice in-between synchronous lessons, and to assist with sustaining ongoing practice well after the course ends. Such materials as video and audio recordings, and downloadable documents describing emotional effector pattern practice recommendations, and recommended reading materials.
All six emotional effector patterns will be taught, as well as neutral and Step Out.
Detailed lessons on breathing practices, somatic methods for developing emotional expression and embodiment, as well as for establishing somatic restorative & stress reduction practices are also included.
Emotional Body lessons are also supported by reading recommendations from the text The Emotional Body: A Method for Physical Self-Regulation by Laura Bond. Registrants are given the opportunity to purchase the book at a special 20% off retail rate.
