mattlistenerApproaches I'm focusing on:
-The Rosen Method
-Somato-Emotional Release
The Rosen Method is a discipline for mental and physical healing through a mixture of dialogue and gentle touch/movement. The goal is not to fix what is found but to foster awareness and self-acceptance in the client. Very similarly to Client-Centered Therapy, it is premised on the natural human tendency toward growth and healing.
The RM world has no big center, but Marion Rosen herself still teaches in Berkeley, CA -- a significant plus since I would figure on getting at *least* one training in with the progenitor of any approach I want to practice. There is a Rosen Center East in NYC that does intro workshops every few months. No schedule of workshops or actual trainings online, I'll have to call them. Level One certification is six 3-day weekends plus a weeklong intensive, which I could manage.
Somato-Emotional Release is an advanced discipline of Cranio-Sacral Therapy, which (unlike RM) is not partly a psychological modality. CST uses gentle manipulations on the pressure rhythm in the cerebrospinal fluid system to diagnose and treat tension and other forms of unhealth. SER uses both guided imagery and CST to release emotional and physical trauma. CST/SER is a more directive therapy than RM, but less directive than straightforward massage therapy. Gentle-touch disciplines give the body *opportunities* to shift, or to become aware of something.
The big center in the Cranio-Sacral Therapy world is the Upledger Institute, in Florida (drat). There are four 4-day courses in the training curriculum for CST/SER, and they're all offered in Boston (yay!!). The next CST 1 class in Boston is in August; I may take it at least to learn the rhythm. John Upledger himself still teaches too.
Ordered pivotal books by Upledger and Rosen through fetchbook.info.
