"What is softer? Softer is ... well? You don't just give up or struggle to be soft. Be soft before you even begin."
Dr. Milton TragerThe principle of resting empathy combines self-reliance with connectedness. The attitude of dwelling empathy applies to another person as well as to situations, emotions and actions. In Trager Therapy this means that we always pay attention to our body and find the quality of freedom and relaxation within ourselves. In this course we deepen our self-awareness and the ability to pass on this quality with feeling, touch and awake presence and to find the dance. We begin to understand and practice what it means to lead groups.
