This consultation group for therapists will take up the body as it appears in clinical work. We will work closely with clinical material, staying with moments that are difficult to articulate, that register in the body, or that resist immediate understanding. Particular attention will be given to points in the work that feel unclear, affectively charged, or resistant to formulation.
This is not a space for learning somatic techniques or adding new modalities. The focus is on unconscious processes as they are expressed through the body, and how these shape both physical experience and the clinical work. We will think about the body within a psychoanalytic frame, developing a way of listening that stays curious about bodily experience as meaning comes into view. The aim is to deepen how we engage with what emerges in treatment, rather than to expand a set of interventions.
Attention will be given to how the body participates in the clinical field, including in the experience of the therapist, and to forms of communication that take shape outside of language. The group is intended as a space for sustained clinical thinking, where complexity can be held over time and questions can remain open long enough to take on meaning.
The group will be limited to 4–5 clinicians and will meet in person in Austin on a weekly or biweekly basis. It may be of interest to clinicians with a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic orientation, as well as those working in relational or trauma-informed ways who are seeking a space to think more deeply about their work.
For additional details, including scheduling and fee, please reach out.
