SummaryThis course will help students develop an analytic awareness of the level of communication that happens as counsellor and client extend and withdraw at a very subtle level
Course description This course will enable students to become more aware of the quality of their embodiment and presence with a view to exploring how this impacts the therapeutic relationship. It explores a subtle level of non-verbal communication and miscommunication that arises as we subtly move towards, or keep a distance from each other. Experience that may be largely unsymbolised will be brought into greater awareness and students encouraged to theorise and integrate this awareness into their ongoing process of reflection and self-supervision.
