Course/Module description:
This course will expose you to different approaches that combine mind-body psychotherapy. Mind-body psychotherapy is an approach to healing and growth that treats a person as a whole and combines: mind, body and spirit. In contrast to traditional psychotherapy or "talk therapy", which focus on life history and thought analysis, the mind-body therapist values not only these aspects, but is also interested in the connection between the mental, physical and spiritual experiences of the person. This approach is holistic and integrative. Techniques used in mind-body therapy include mindfulness, hypnosis, emotion focused and experiential psychotherapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, neurofeedback among others. This course will introduce you to diverse approaches in the field of mind-body psychotherapy with an emphasis on experiential experience as well as theoretical aspects.
Course/Module aims:
The purpose of the course is to expose the students to a number of key topics in the field of mind-body psychotherapy. The course will provide both theoretical knowledge and experiential experience. It is important to note that the purpose of the course is to introduce and encourage curiosity. Each approach presented in this course requires in-depth training to be able to apply the therapeutic intervention method. The course will be able to expose students and thus they will be able to develop further in their path as therapists from initial acquaintance and experience.
