THIS WEEKEND IN LONG BEACH...

I am headed to Southern California for our first Califonia ADTA event of the year!
Susan Kleinman, MA, ADTR, NCC will give a presentation on:

"Becoming an Embodied Therapist: Accessing the Language of the Body in Treatment" THIS SATURDAY!

Date: March 7, 2009 Time: 1:30- 4:30 PM

Location: California State University, Long Beach
1250 Bellflower Blvd.
Long Beach, CA 90840-7201
Dance Studio in Dance Department/Dance Building
(Please see campus map for specific location)

This workshop presents an opportunity for mental health professionals to learn how to discover and trust their innate ability to “attend” empathically, respond authentically, and translate non-verbal experiences into cognitive insights. Experiential body/mind exercises based on dance/movement therapy principles will be used along with didactic presentation to integrate a more embodied approach into traditional psychotherapy theory and practice. Participants will learn how embodied methods can be used to treat eating disorders, addictions and trauma.
