Following the immersive retreat, this two-day professional training invites psychotherapists, counselors, and somatic practitioners to deepen their clinical application of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) principles and related somatic psychotherapy techniques.

Through a blend of didactic learning, experiential practice, and demonstrations, participants will explore how attachment wounds and predictive relational templates are expressed and repaired through the body. Building upon the relational and somatic foundations introduced in the retreat, this training translates embodied and communal healing experiences into practical tools for therapeutic and community-based settings.

Participants will engage with PBSP concepts such as basic needs, shape and countershape, the creation of "good inner objects," and the symbolic fulfillment of unmet developmental needs—while also critically examining how these needs and their expression are shaped by culture, identity, and systems of power. Together, we will explore how to practice PBSP principles in adaptive, expansive, and culturally responsive ways that honor the full context of each client's lived experience.
