Em Edmondson

I live in Leeds with my son and daughter, a dog and a cat. I spend my time between the wilds of the West Coast of Ireland and Inner City Leeds. I have worked as a psychotherapist with a private practice in Leeds for twenty years, and as a trainer for much of that time; I have co-led four Selfheal trainings with Nick Totton. I have been involved with Hakomi as a student, teacher and trainer for fifteen years. This work has taken me to Eire where I have co-led two Hakomi trainings and offer regular workshops and supervision in Dublin, Tralee, Cork and Westport.

Courses

Introduction to Hakomi
8 Sundays in Leeds, 10.30-6.00
November 2001-June 2002
Cost: £320 (some reductions possible)
Group size: 8-10.

Hakomi is a body-oriented process therapy developed by Ron Kurtz (USA). Its main influences are drawn from Buddhist and Taoist principles, Reichian character theory, gestalt and process bodywork techniques. It's a gentle, subtle therapy style which encourages a capacity to develop mindfulness and compassion towards our experiences. As we study the organisation of the here and now in ourselves, some patterns emerge which can be supported, healed and released.
