Relational Somatic Beings – an exploration of the interdependent attributes of what it means to be human.
By Peter Mckay
About this webinar
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.
