Module 3: What You Will Learn
In this third and final module of the training, we will learn how we can facilitate greater embodiment of emotional experiences through the physiology of the brain, the spinal cord, and the structures that surround and protect them (cerebrospinal fluid, membrane, bone, fascia, tendon, ligament, muscle). We will also study how we can facilitate greater embodiment of our emotional experiences in our brain and body by connecting the individual to additional archetypal resources at different levels of the collective than in earlier modules.
Course Content
- The role of the central nervous system area of the brain and spinal cord and surrounding structures in generating as well as defending against extra-ordinary psychological and physiological and experiences of stress and trauma.
- Clinical strategies for working with the physiology of the brain and spinal cord and surrounding structures when working with extra-ordinary psychological and physiological experiences of stress and trauma in psychological work settings.
- The role of the central nervous system areas of the brain and spinal cord and surrounding structures in generating as well as defending against ordinary but difficult physiological and psychological experiences in the course of development (as opposed to extra-ordinary experiences stress and trauma).
- Clinical strategies for working with the central nervous system area of brain and spinal cord and surrounding structures during psychological work with ordinary but difficult experiences in the course of development (as opposed to the extraordinary experiences of stress and trauma).
- Clinical strategies for connecting the individual more to the resources of the basic elemental archetype of fire with intensity and clarity as its primary attributes, for accessing, expanding, and regulating our emotional experiences in psychological work settings.
- Clinical strategies for connecting the individual more to the resources of the basic elemental archetype of earth with structure and stability as its primary attributes, for accessing, expanding, and regulating our emotional experiences in psychological work settings.
- Clinical strategies for facilitating the interactions between the individual and the collective at the higher end of the archetypal continuum, at the level of the Self and beyond, to mobilize the highest possible resources of the collective for accessing, expanding, and regulating our emotional experiences in psychological work settings.
