Embodied Imagery in Supervision

In this workshop I would like to present clinical work from the field of relational body psychotherapy. I will illustrate how relational body psychotherapy positioning affects different aspects of imagination and reality in the field of supervision. While observing phenomena taking place in the intersubjectivity of the relational body psychotherapist. This Workshop will offer its participants: 1.The possibility to acquaint themselves with some basic principles of relational body psychotherapy 2.Experience intersubjectivity as an embodied phenomenon, explored through body resonance 3.Inspire connection between relational psychoanalysis and relational body psychotherapy 4. Develop an approach to work with the world metaphors as an expression of inter and intra subjective relation This Workshop considers the place of imagery in supervision and its relational and corporeal resonances in the supervisory relationship. Drawing on Keleman’s (1985) formative psychology concepts in order to explore clinical material through a composite case vignette from her supervision practice, the supervisor considers her parallel process and describes the role of her countertransference in the embodied triangle of supervisor, supervisee and client.
