Workshop

Created in 1961 by Albert Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso, Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) is an advanced therapeutic system available for emotional re-education or reprogramming. Thousands of therapists have trained in PBSP and it is now practiced by certified PBSP therapists in the US and 11 countries worldwide. PBSP heals past emotional deficits using unique processes called ‘Structures’ and ‘Microtracking’ that help clients to identify emotional deficits and create ‘new memories’. These ‘new memories’ provide symbolic fulfillment of the basic developmental needs of place, nurture, support, protection and limits. With the inclusion of ‘Holes and Roles,’ the latest innovation in PBSP theory and technique, therapists learn how to provide a highly effective and streamlined approach to reducing resistance, negative transference, and somatic overload. Many aspects of PBSP theories and techniques have close parallels in recent neuroscience findings about mirror neurons, empathy, morality, and the impact of language on the theory of mind. In this workshop participants can experience the power of accommodation on a bodily level and the healing strength of new symbolic memories. Techniques will be demonstrated also to be used in an individual psychotherapeutic setting.
