Embodied Consciousness Process Tools

Kathryn Yarborough, MFA, BC-DTR

Overview
In Embodied Consciousness Process Tools, participants will learn how to use breath and body awareness as therapeutic interventions to assist clients in becoming more aware of their emotions and unresolved issues. We will discuss why and when to use breath or body awareness; the embodied experiences of the 7 primary emotions; and the process of working with and transforming a client’s body felt sensations associated with unresolved issues.

Learning Objectives

1. Participants will describe when and how to use breath, body awareness, or mindful movement in a therapeutic or healing process.
2. Participants will define mindfulness.
3. Participants will demonstrate facilitating, with a partner, another person’s use of breath or movement to deepen his or her self understanding.
4. Participants will list the issues that might arise with mindful movement.
5. Participants will list reasons to do mindful movement.
6. Participants will describe how the 7 different primary emotions are experienced in the body.

After taking this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Guide their clients in a simple process of using breath or body awareness to access emotions.
