This workshop addresses two vital parts of Trager that go beyond safety and relaxation. More precise clinical assessment helps you can see with Somatic Movement Therapy eyes and assess your client’s movement for what work will be most meaningful for them in both the short term and the long term. And a focus on increasing tissue aliveness and imparting a felt sense of “springy vitality” in the clients who really need it (and most need it somewhere) – starting, of course, with learning to develop a balanced and energized tone in our own bodies from which to work. What could it feel like with more spring in attitude, more tone in tissue, more integration in structure, and more youthful aliveness in movement? How do we cultivate these qualities in our self-preparation time, in our interview process, in our table time, and in the way we integrate the session into life patterns? What happens when, after establishing sufficient safety, trust and relaxation, we focus the session on the feeling of agelessness?
