The Self Behind the Symptom: How Shadow Voices Heal Us

For everyone, including therapists and yoga teachers.

Underneath many physical or psychological symptoms, a part of you is struggling to be heard. Somatic therapist Judith Hendin teaches a process that uses subtle energy work, soulful movement, and insightful dialogue to access those messages. A powerful adjunct to medical treatment, this dynamic approach can enhance recovery from a host of ailments, including musculoskeletal conditions, pain, rashes, intestinal problems, cancer, sexual dysfunction, and insomnia.

In a workshop designed for both personal and professional growth, you use experiential exercises and demonstration sessions to

• Gain access to the subpersonalities that make up the psyche
• Learn to recognize your “gatekeepers”—those cultural and personal selves that protect you so well that they can hold you back from inner work
• Delve into the body through imagery and movement
• Discover buried “shadow” voices that offer you pure gold as you expand into who you truly are.

Everyone can learn to follow the body as a guide to important inner issues.
