In this embodied and experiential webinar Julianne Appel-Opper will offer new perspectives to explore and to work with somatisation and embodied communications. Julianne has developed a way of working – “relational living body psychotherapy” – that is theoretically rooted in integrative gestalt psychotherapy and intersubjective psychoanalytic thinking. This approach also draws on the research fields of attachment, developmental psychology, neuroscience and somatisation.

How Do Living Bodies Speak?
This session will begin with short exercises including the exploration of breathing and moving rhythms, inviting an embodied engagement to the day’s learnings. Julianne will introduce kinaesthetic language as a guide for participants to explore their sensations and experiences.

Embodied Communications
Here we will explore how living bodies “speak” about their lived experiences and how this ‘speaking’ or communication may impact another living body, that of the therapist. The somatisation processes of chronic back pain will be considered as an example of how a client’s muscles tense up in conflict situations as an unconscious expectation of a past trauma or developmental trauma. Julianne will offer creative ways to open up and make sense of these embodied, yet wordless stories.

17.00
Moving and Being Moved
This session will focus on how therapist and client move and effect each other. With short exercises we will explore implicit body-to-body-communications. Julianne will demonstrate how it might be possible to open up these mute parts that come to the therapy as movements. We will consider what it is that we “inhale” from another living body? What the two spines communicate to each other for example.

Finally, Julianne will look at supervision of clinical work, including considering what is communicated in the first seconds of presenting a client. Participants will explore their physical expression of their time with this particular client and discuss possible embodied interventions.
