Tools for Being a Healing Presence

Kathryn Yarborough, MFA, BC-DTR

Overview
In Tools for Being a Healing Presence, we will discuss the characteristics of a “healing presence” including being present, accurate mirroring, and a non-judgmental stance. While interacting, participants will practice body and breath awareness as well as non-verbal mirroring skills. These skills enhance a helping professional’s ability to be a healing presence, keep clear boundaries, and listen without expectation.

1. Participants will demonstrate breath and body awareness while listening to another person
2. Participants will describe the role of mirroring in the
   healing relationship and identify three types of communication
3. Participants will demonstrate verbal and nonverbal mirroring
4. Participants will define three key elements of being a healing presence

After taking this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Use breath and body awareness to increase their presence with clients
• Use mindful movement to increase their own body awareness
• Use three types of non-verbal mirroring
