“Studying and teaching Integrative Body Psychotherapy gave me a language to describe my experience (abandonment), my defense coping mechanisms (agency and character style) and a solid strategy with which to manage them: good parent messages, breathing and other self-agency tools. The ability to manage abandonment and inundation most of the time has been a revelation.
Most significantly, IBP gave me hope that I am lovable and relational. Happily, I met my beloved after I was relational and receptive. Teaching IBP has enabled me to embody and share this wise knowing with students and clients. I have taken the leadership skills honed in teaching to my forensic and clinical social work, my personal and volunteer work. Thank you.”
