"Mentastics is an art; and as in any other art, practice leads to beauty and form." Milton Trager
Advanced Course Technique and Postures,
Mentastics for Groups
In this course we are looking for positive changes that can manifest in very individual ways. As Trager therapists, we provide the space in which these changes can unfold. We support the awareness, evaluation and appreciation of these changes. We learn that it can happen that we have difficult clients. How do we deal with that? How do we communicate respectfully and effectively? Successful integration embodies positive experiences and changes in self-image and contact.
Learning contents
- Practice maintaining hook-up with difficult clients throughout the Trager session.
- Deepening and understanding of the movements learned with greater mindfulness in one's own body.
- Integration of Reflex Response in a Trager treatment.
- Self-assessment about strengths and weaknesses and plan for further action.
- Preparing the final course for Trager therapists in a fun, creative way. Visioning the practice of your dreams.
