Description

In this recording, Pat Odgen PhD, with 45 years’ experience in body-oriented psychotherapy and Bonnie Goldstein PhD, with three decades of specialized child, adolescent and family and parent psychotherapy, share the risk factors and warning signs of suicidality in children and adolescents and make clear the significance of the “somatic narrative”— the ongoing process of body-based, implicit, nonverbal behavior — in both assessment and treatment.

Recognizing the therapeutic challenges and transformational moments that arise when working with these complex issues, they’ll draw upon the wisdom of the body to promote change.

Drs. Ogden and Goldstein will clarify the dynamic interchange between non-verbal cues and verbal reports when addressing suicidal thoughts. Physical indicators of helplessness, hopelessness and despair will be explored, along with how to address these emotions using body-oriented interventions.

Case studies that illustrate Sensorimotor Psychotherapy interventions with suicidal children and adolescents will be shared. You’ll learn new mindfulness based, somatic interventions to enhance self-regulation skills and develop resilience in the face of the intense emotions that fuel suicidality.
