Emotion, Mindfulness and Movement

This workshop emphasizes techniques that help resolve the painful emotions, cognitive distortions and intimacy issues associated with attachment failure, and clarifying body-oriented techniques that mitigate trauma-related dysregulation. Through the lens of attachment theory, Dr. Ogden will demonstrate movement interventions and the use of "directed mindfulness" techniques to expand the patient's window of affect tolerance. Pat Ogden is the founder and director of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, in Colorado, co-founder of the Hakomi Institute, has served on the faculty of The Naropa University since 1985. For 35 years she has pioneered the development of somatic psychotherapy for work with individuals and groups, and specializes on treatment of trauma and attachment.
