Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor is a comprehensive method of emotional reeducation that applies successfully to a wide range of psychological, emotional and interpersonal issues. Its strength lies in its capacity to help people: 1. Symbolically satisfy their Unmet Developmental Needs -- having a place in the world, with nurture, support, protection and limits. 2. Offset the damage of Traumatic Events -- psychological, physical and sexual abuse... 3. Undo the consequences of “Holes in Roles” -- fissures and fractures in family systems that one tries to fill by sacrificing one's own well-being by taking on the roles of absent or missing family members. Join us for a three day workshop. The fee for a three day workshop is $425 with a $170 deposit. There are usually 12-14 structure participants per workshop. Non-structure participant/observer fee is $212 with a $105 deposit. Registration begins at 12:30. Contact the international PBSP office by calling (603)934-5548 or visit the website at www.pbsp.com.
