USABP Spotlight Webinar Series and the Bodynamic Institute Present...

Creating New Psychophysical Resources That Heal Developmental Disruptions: 
Working with Muscle Activation and Movement to Resolve Unconscious Limiting Patterns.

Presented by Anne Issacs - live and recorded

Ideas discussed:

  • Somatic and psychological development occur simultaneously
  • What muscles need to be used to create new resources
  • Example of how grounding develops and how each stage of grounding has a different flavor
  • How developing specific physiological/psychological resources can support changes in psychological and relational/attachment states of mind 
  • The  present day experience of embodying new somatic, relational and psychological competency can create life-changing outcomes
  • Differences in how to work with unconscious given up, parasympathetic states, (hypo strategies of protection,) and held back,  sympathetic states, (hyper protective strategies)
  • The ability to contain the work to the developmental stage of the issue leads to fuller integration into their daily life
  • Difference between trauma, developmental trauma, and developmental disruptions
  • Working specifically with missing developmental disruptions can create resources that allow working with trauma easier
