Core Energetic Body Readings: Creating a Treatment Plan for Body TherapyÂ
Facilitator: Karyne B. Wilner, PSYD, Friday, March 19 and Saturday, March 20, 2010 – 14 CE Credits
   This class is designed to help participants develop bodyreading skills and to construct treatment plans based on their findings. The psychoanalytic theory of development is integrated with information about the body’s energy flow, segmental armoring, energetic blocks, and chakra and aura readings. According to Wilhelm Reich the body holds the frozen history of the person and according to John Pierrakos it also exposes the living history of the person.
   Trainees explore the meaning implicit in skin, body fat, eyes, height, muscles, bone length, coloring, breathing, and overall development. Participants learn to relate to clients by reading their posture, gestures, kinesthetic movements, and facial expressions. This information leads to a choice of techniques and interventions that are appropriate for each client’s specific life issues. Participants contact their essence at the deepest level as they explore this material through lecture, experiential exercises, and demonstration.
 The main teaching points are:
- Â What the body reveals about personality traits, developmental wounds, desires and needs.
- Techniques to work with each of the five body types.
