Neurobiological research has confirmed Albert Pesso’s long-held contention that emotional
experiences are encoded and patterened in our brains and throughout our bodily nervous
systems. These experiences become woven into the fabric of our mental and physical being. The
experiences we do remember, the memories we maintain a connection to, are those that carry an
emotional charge. When these experiences are negative, our whole being is affected. These
negatively charged memories, when triggered by everyday events, can manifest as depression,
anxiety, and a host of other mental and physical symptoms. These echoes from the past can also
cause destructive patterns in relationships and life-style.
To retrieve, integrate and correct these painful, life-altering memories, Pesso has developed a
highly effective mind/body therapy which he has named, Pesso Boydon System Psychomotor
(PBSP®). In an atmosphere of safety, care and respect, the therapist closely tracks the client’s
verbal and bodily expressions as they emerge during this structured work. Through specific
techniques, this mind/body information highlights the client’s interior/exterior perspective and is
then represented in the room through the use of role-play figures. These external representations
of consciousness spur the client’s associations and induce powerful recollections of past lifeshaping
events. Symbolic corrections are then offered. These corrective experiences are understood
to enter the psyche at a core level and produce psychological/neurological reorganization.
To assist participant learning, Al will deliver the basic tenets of PBSP® theory in lecture form on
Saturday. He will use live demonstrations so the concepts become alive and useable. Discussion
and questions will follow each demonstration so participants can begin to integrate theory with
application. For a limited number of participants interested in advancing their learning,
additional training will be offered on Sunday. The Sunday program will focus on lecture,
demonstration and experiental learning for all participants.
