The Drive to Be Happy in an Imperfect World
Albert Pesso to present a Pre-Conference Workshop on August 9th, 2012, at the 7th Annual USABP Conference at Millennium Harvest House Boulder, Colorado
This one-day workshop will present the Pesso
Boyden
System Psychomotor (PBSP) approach to removing
clients’ resistance and realigning them to their genetic expectations that allow a happier life. Focusing on the resources of the client rather than coming from a problem oriented view, PBSP work capitalizes on the client’s unconscious creativity through images, objects, and role-play.. Working with the body to reorganize historical patterns and reprogram essential elements of the client’s world perspective opens clients to finally receive what has been longed for their whole lives – a fundamental connection to self, others and life. Through lecture, experiential exercises and demonstrations by Al Pesso, you will be introduced to a fresh, new series of procedures that allows resilience in the face of life’s challenges and releases the joy of living.

Exciting New Developments After more than four decades of intensive work with clients, a fresh, new series of procedures has flowered into being. The speed that these positive, emotional and bodily changes take place, the joy of living that is released, the feeling of comfort and pleasure so clearly visible in a client's face and body is breathtaking to behold!
Now our task and mission is to bring these new procedures to all people and places that would benefit from them.

What Other People Say About PBSP®
Quote from Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D. Past President of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, Professor of Psychiatry at Boston University Medical School, and Clinical Director of the Trauma Center at HRI Hospital in Brookline, Massachusetts. "Over the past 40 years, Al Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso have perfected an extraordinarily effective technique, PBSP® [Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor], providing people with experiences that were missing during their growth and development. The artistry of Pesso's ‘structure’ can be a unique and profoundly life-altering experience."
Gus Napier, Ph.D., author of "The Family Crucible" & "The Fragile Bond "
"If you want to really learn how to work on family of origin issues, and how to use body information in your therapy, go straight to the
foremost therapist in that field, Al Pesso."
Quote from Elaine B. Pinderhughes, Professor Emerita,
Boston College Graduate School of Social Work "As a practitioner and long time teacher of clinical theory and practice (psychodynamic and family therapy), I had had evidence of the soundness of PBSP® theory and its effectiveness in practice via observations of Al Pesso's work at clinical meetings. However my conviction of the efficacy of the theory in treatment was substantially reinforced through personal experience of his training seminars which I sought to help me cope with my husband's death.
Despite having been psychoanalyzed years ago and having completed family of origin work as part of my training as a family therapist, Pesso's work reached depths not tapped earlier and reworked issues in ways that created greater integration and self understanding than ever believed possible. It is his ability to tap experience at the earliest developmental levels, along with his ever vigilant stance that is respectful of the ego's readiness to accept and integrate new information, that makes his work so stunning and transformative. Of special significance to me also was the capacity to incorporate cultural (ethnic/racial) dynamics to the many levels of understanding gained."

EARLY PBSP ROOTS Albert Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso developed PBSP® in 1961 Before that time they spent years observing how human emotions were expressed in body action and speech, for they were determined to understand not only how emotional feelings become outward behavior but also to learn how to manage and control the impact that emotional expression had on those toward whom those expressions were directed and those who only witnessed it.
From those beginnings, a large body of movement sensitization techniques, theories of human interaction and a complex process of emotional re-education evolved. PBSP is now a fully developed unified theory that has at its foundation a vision of what it means to be human -- biologically, psychologically, sociologically, philosophically, and spiritually.
Since those beginnings thousands of therapist have received training and currently there are 17 PBSP* certification training programs in 10 countries. |
