| Return to Al Pesso's Schedule Return to What's New Return to Conferences Return to Training Opportunities This is workshop # 427 listed at http://www.psychotherapynetworker.org/sym05_19saturday.html You Can Change Your Past 427 Part 1 - No matter how determined we are to live in the here and now, the reality is that we see the present through the filter of our past experiences. For many clients, those filters have been constructed or distorted by childhoods dominated by neglect, abuse, or trauma. This two-part workshop will demonstrate the Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor Therapy, a second-generation somatic psychotherapy that offsets developmental deficits by creating new symbolic memories. You’ll learn how to help clients externalize problematic childhood histories and enact new outcomes to replace constricted childhood memories. Together, we’ll explore how symbolic reenactment taps into our inborn sense of justice, and helps bring clients more fully into the present. (This session will continue in Workshop 527.) Albert Pesso cofounded the Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor Therapy with his wife, Diane Boyden-Pesso, in 1961. He was associate professor at Emerson College in Boston, consultant in psychiatric research at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Boston, and director of psychomotor therapy at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. He’s written many book and articles on psychomotor therapy. She’s vice president of the Psychomotor Institute, and director of psychomotor therapy at New England Rehabilitation Hospital.
