A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS informed by Pesso Boyden (PBSP)
Sunday 13th September | Sunday 15th November
These workshops combine teaching, demonstration and experiential learning to deepen understanding of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) and its application in therapeutic practice. Each day includes a short theoretical introduction, discussion, and opportunities to observe or take part in PBSP work within a supportive group setting. Up to three personal issues may be explored each day through PBSP sessions, known as structures.
The aim is for participants to develop a felt understanding of PBSP principles and consider how these ideas may inform their therapeutic work. Some personal work will be encouraged but is optional. Topics may include:
● The role of memory, unmet developmental needs and symbolic repair
● The structure and process of PBSP sessions
● Ideal figures and creating new emotional experiences
● Witnessing and group support in PBSP work
● Body awareness and emotional regulation
Who these workshops are for;
Psychotherapists, counsellors, trainees and helping professionals interested in body-oriented or
experiential psychotherapy approaches. No prior PBSP experience is required.
Places may also be available to non-therapists who wish to do deeper in their therapy journey.
Maximum 10 participants
Each workshop runs 10:00 am – 4.00 pm

After the Workshop
The day will likely leave you with a deep emotional experience, so it’s a good idea to plan some quiet time afterward for integration. If you’ve had a structure during the day, you’re welcome to check in briefly with me the following week. This check-in supports the process of consolidation and helps the work to truly “land.”
CPD
Psychotherapists can earn 6 hours of CPD for attending the workshop.
“Have already recommended it to a couple of people who are doing talk therapy on family issues that aren’t shifting. A great, safe way to do more embodied, communal practiceIt provides a unique, unexpected and valuable healing experience and as you are supported through a process in which you feel raw and vulnerable, you get to witness an abundance of human kindness that I think is really powerful.”
