Salt Lake City ............ July 18, 2008 ............ Paul Linden
This experiential workshop is designed for professionals such as psychotherapists, medical practitioners, massage therapists, somatic educators, and martial artists who work with survivors of abuse and assault.
This workshop will focus on body awareness and empowerment training as a solution to learned powerlessness. You will experience body awareness methods from Being In Movement® mindbody education that you can use to help your clients develop greater self-awareness, assertiveness, safety, and confidence.
People who have been abused or assaulted generally contract and numb their bodies. This is a result of the natural shock response, and it is also a coping strategy to manage awareness of the trauma and the resulting pain. However, by not being present in their bodies, survivors become weakened and less able to resolve their traumas. In addition, they set themselves up for further victimization.Living in their bodies will enable them to identify and express what they are feeling and doing with more clarity.
You will learn ways to help clients open and balance their breathing, muscle tone, posture, and movement, and thereby develop a state of relaxation, alertness, power, and love which will help them manage stress and pain, stay present in their bodies, and develop skills of assertiveness and self-protection.

“Paul is a great teacher who is able to translate the empowerment I work to achieve with my clients verbally, emotionally and with metaphor into an actual felt body ex-perience of awareness, self-protection and personal power.” Howard Fradkin, Ph.D. Psychologist. Affirmations Center for Psychotherapy and Growth.
“Paul is truly a master at teaching others how to embody and harmoniously experience their own power and com-passion. The depth, clarity, and wisdom of his work are a rare find. The depth of the experience I had in Paul's work-shop was simply too extraordinary for me to convey in words – the kind of thing one has to experience for one-self.” Patty Shepard, Clinical Social Worker
“The work I do with Paul teaches me how to be more fully present, physically and emotionally, in my life even through difficult times like memories, flashbacks, and current situations that remind me of past events. As a direct result of working with Paul, I feel more capable, stronger, and better able to care for myself and those around me.” PM.
