Austin Group Psychotherapy Society

Bringing awareness of the body more consciously into our therapy work will naturally enhance our experience and create deeper change. In this Institute we will use verbal process, somatic awareness and didactic learning to explore how we can integrate the rich nuances of the body into our therapeutic group work.
