THE ANCESTRAL BRAIN. TRANSMISSION OF ANCESTRAL PATTERNS with EWA ROBERTSON

DATE: Feb 4th, 10:00

Can horrific events such as the Haiti earthquake, 9/11, Iraq war, or Asian tsunami affect children who weren’t even born yet? Current studies in neuroscience support the idea of the transmission of emotional and neurophysiological states which affect infant brain development and are passed on as intergenerational patterns. What implications do these findings have for our work with clients? What is the ancestral legacy that individual clients may be presenting as part of their own healing? And if maladaptive patterns can be transmitted, what might this mean for the possibility of transmission of adaptive states? This workshop, drawing on case material, will explore the conjunction of neuroscience and psychotherapy in the promotion of neurones of health, empathy and compassion.The Facilitator is Ewa Robertson BA, MSc. Ewa is a co-founder of Re•Vision, Integrative Psychosynthesis counselling and psychotherapy training centre in London. She is a BACP accredited counsellor and UKCP registered psychotherapist. She has been a psychosynthesis trainer and supervisor in the UK and Europe since the 1980's. Workshop will take place from 10am to 4pm at Chandlers Ford Methodist Centre, S053 2GJ. £50 for the day, £40 to HACP members. For more information, contact info@hacp.co.uk
