Gestalt Therapy & the Child Within

With Deborah Bowman, Ph.D.

 

Dates and times to be announced, 2009

  

Gestalt practice naturally leads to the spontaneous, loving and creative child within all of us.  This workshop focuses on methods that heal childhood wounds blocking the full potential of our birthright.  Learn how to integrate Gestalt with diverse approaches to inspire imagination and lasting change. Gestalt therapy offers gentle, dynamic and embodied methods for facilitating inner dialogue with intrapsychic parts that represent vulnerable, creative, loving, playful and essential qualities that become locked up with difficult or traumatic experience.
