A Unique Approach to Medicine and Transformative Healing
Embark on a journey where neuroscience intertwines with the body's subtle rhythms, and ancient wisdom meets modern therapeutic practices. This lab delves into the intricate roles of the insula, sensory-motor cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex—regions orchestrating empathy, self-awareness, and emotional balance. Through somatic meditation, cultivate a deeper attunement to your internal landscape, enabling precise and compassionate interventions.
Experience the unspoken dialogue of touch, sound, and sight—a dance of mutual attunement where minds communicate beyond words, fostering emotional resonance and healing. Drawing on Allan Schore’s groundbreaking work, understand attachment as the interactive regulation of affect and arousal, laying the foundation for resilience and healing.
In the sacred space between therapist and client, healing emerges not solely from words but from the profound resonance of right-brain to right-brain connection. This course invites you to cultivate the precision and nuance required to attune moment by moment to the unfolding emotional landscape of the Other. Through embodied practices and somatic awareness, learn to quiet the analytical left hemisphere, allowing the intuitive wisdom of the right brain to guide you.Honor each individual's unique healing sequence, fostering therapeutic relationships rooted in empathy, presence, and deep attunement.
Recognize that dissociation, often a protective veil woven in response to trauma, can resurface during psychedelic journeys, unveiling fragmented narratives and unprocessed pain. Without informed guidance, this reactivation may lead to psychological destabilization, especially in trauma-exposed individuals. By deeply understanding dissociation and its manifestations, therapists can create a container of safety, facilitating the integration of these fragmented parts into a cohesive tapestry of resilience and healing.
