Awaken to your body of wisdom
A 2 Day, 6 Session Intensive Program
This program is a profound and effective healing process for individuals who have experienced a wide range of traumatic experiences. It is especially useful for people with food and body image issues, abuse, depression and low self-esteem.
The technique works on the following assumptions: in order to survive certain traumatic incidents, people dissociate or ‘disown’ parts of their bodies or personalities. No real healing can take place until those dissociated parts are reintegrated. This reintegration seldom happens as a result of verbal therapy alone. Rebonding of the Body focuses on the body/mind connection and employs body-oriented techniques such as movement, spontaneous creativity, relaxation, visualization, cognitive restructuring and systematic desensitization in a structured program.
Program
Day One
Session 1: Body image and mapping the body’s history
Session 2: Reclaiming the legs and feet; opening up to grounding and moving forward
Session 3: Reclaiming the heart, shoulders and arms; opening up to giving and receiving love and creativity

This program helps people become more trusting and comfortable with their bodies and themselves. Participants should wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to actively engage in both physical and relaxation-focused exercises.
