STATES OF SHOCK & TRAUMA
A 2-day workshop for Alexander Teachers & Trainees
October 24th-25th 2024 (following the ATI conference!)
In Forest Row, E. Sussex, RH185DS, UK
When pupils present themselves with an underlying state of shock, of being anxious, of grieving or of being in some way traumatised, it is not always appropriate to work with the same directions, aims, methods, time scale or pacing that may be effective with other pupils. Something else may be called for in order that their background state of shock can gradually dissolve and free itself from its physical encapsulation. This workshop will introduce and explore ways of working that enable a sensitive ‘growing out of’ these states, setting them free in their own time…and will address the concept of ‘appropriate use’ as opposed to ‘good use’. For us as teachers this approach requires a surrendering of what we think we know, of what we may think the pupil needs, of what to ‘do’ next, and instead a simple ‘allowing’ to work from a state of presence and prolonged inhibition, with the courage to follow our intuition. This will be a nourishing, insightful workshop with lots of gentle hands on work.
This work has grown uniquely from Delia’s experiences of working with shock and trauma in relation to the Alexander Technique.
