Kinesthetic Resonance: The Basis Of Social Understanding

This two-day workshop explores the always ongoing experience of kinesthetic resonance, the bodily feel of our relationships as we engage with the world. Participants learn how to unfold body-to-body communications that often remain elusive to us, hidden and unaware. These interactions generate feeling tones that reverberate from one person to another, allowing us to appraise the situation we are co-creating. Using a developmental lens, we investigate baby-parent dyads in the forming of kinesthetic resonance and consider how our earlier experiences similarly function within the adult therapy dyad.
