This webinar will open by delving into the relational and bodily aspects of Trauma Theory and Affect Theory, examining their connection to the human experience. Using that lens as a foundation, Peter will then focus on how this understanding can deepen the working alliance to become a therapeutic relationship. The exploration will cover the essence of how “being a human” might manifest, and the associated phenomenological processes that define it. The webinar will also shed light on the embodied/somatic relational dynamics that shape our individual and collective identities. Finally, Peter will investigate the interplay and influence of these complex dynamics, applying them to a hypothetical client scenario to deepen our comprehension of what “Relational Somatic Being” looks like during the therapy hour.
