Linda deeply believes in the need for hands-on work around consent, touch, boundaries, embodied knowing, intimacy, relationality, and relationship skills. As such, I am so excited to be participating in the Surrogate Partner Collective’s training program. What surrogate partners do with clients is collaboratively create a context/environment where the client can have embodied experiences of a missing or reparative experience.

In this workshop, Linda will guide us through practical and experiential interventions to help clients move through and complete the stress response cycle. In this way, our clients will be able to more effectively:
We will also explore experientially a concept central to the Pesso Boyden Psychomotor System, known as shape and countershape. The unresolved relational templates in our clients (and ourselves) cause us to unconsciously seek and/or reject the missing somatic experiences of attachment. As surrogate partners, we are able to provide to our clients the experience of what should have happened that didn’t happen — in a way that can be somaticized and integrated in life-transforming ways.
There will also be a brief discussion about the distortion of the arousal template and the stress response template due to childhood sexual abuse / developmentally inappropriate sexual experiences, and how surrogate partners can best use this information in support of their clients.
