If you work with COUPLES, FAMILIES, in RELATIONAL psychodynamic work or ATTACHMENT oriented bodywork this somatic workshop is designed especially for YOU. The session will have a brief introduction of the core concepts of Relational Rupture and Repair Work, developed by SE faculty Dave Berger and Abi Blakeslee. The next part of the session will be an interactive demonstration where a conference participant will present a couple or dyad they are working with. They will role-play one of the dyad and choose another person from the audience to role-play the other. Abi and Dave will demonstrate the work and deconstruct interventions based on the model.
