Sensitive Observation and the Nine Voices of Non-verbal Communication

Sunday, 10 April 2022, at 2.00 p.m. (Sydney, Australia)

Presenter: Richard Hill

So much of our work with clients is conducted through language and even the silence of private inner work, but our “being” communicates in many other ways. Sensitive observation is a vital therapeutic skill, so we need to know what our other “voices” are trying to communicate to us.

Richard will explore nine of these voices and how we can integrate their messages into the therapeutic experience. Our conscious brain can observe the non-conscious processes that speak to us through brains and processes that are not in our skull! We will explore how to “hear” what is happening beyond just language and emotion. We will discover the wealth of content that the client brings with them into every session.
