Titration Through Movement: A Path to Self Regulation
Titration Through Movement:
A Path to Self Regulation
Paola Alessio, Dipl.Psych, LCSW, CBT.
This presentation will focus on the concept of titration as a way to understand self-regulating processes. The workshop will be a demonstration of titration techniques within the context of a Bioenergetic movement group. Participants will engage in learning about trauma and patterns of reaction as they are experienced in the body, and how to achieve or improve self-regulation. Participants will also learn to relate the effectiveness of the different techniques to the 6 Bioenergetic character structures. In this workshop there will be a theoretical introduction to titration, self-regulation and Bioenergetic movement group principles, followed by the experiential part of the movement group and techniques. This last part will allow also some processing of the experience through discussion and feedback.
This workshop will be presented as an internet lecture, and she will be inviting participants to share their experiences as well as experiment with therapeutic techniques and participate in movement.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will identify two of their own patterns of reaction.
Participants will relate patterns of reaction to the 6 Bioenergetic character structures.
Participants will apply 2 titration techniques.
Participants will evaluate the effectiveness of the techniques with regards to self-regulation.
