Resistance and Crisis, Working at the Barriers to Change: An Introduction to the Hakomi Method

Friday, May 10 & Saturday, May 11, IN-PERSON, with Pamela Thompson

With mindfulness, we are learning to observe in a new way, with balance and a powerful dis-identification.” ~ Jack Kornfield

This workshop will expand upon the sensitivity cycle – a model for understanding met and unmet needs to help individuals recognize and overcome barriers and help them to move out of crisis patterns.

Through lecture, demo and practice exercises, this workshop will introduce you to:

  • The Basic Principles of the Hakomi Method and application to those in crisis patterns;
  • skills to promote the use of mindfulness to promote opportunities of change;
  • tracking for conscious and unconscious patterns to identify barriers;
  • understanding roles of addictions and attachment through unmet or unrecognized needs;
  • understanding of the Sensitivity Cycle of needs and the development of faulty neuroceptions;
  • intervention strategies for helping clients move through defensive barriers that contribute to crisis patterns
  • towards a more expanded and secure sense of self.
