Program #1
Working with the Emotional Body
An Introduction into Analytic Somatic Therapy™ and the Bioenergetic Perspective
with Monika Broecker, MFTi
A program consisting of 6 individual introductory sessions
Offered in the Berkeley and Palo Alto/Mountain View Offices
Are you interested in experiencing Analytic Somatic Therapy™ and understanding how emotions are held in the body and what you can do to experience more joy and aliveness? I am offering a program, consisting of 6 individual introductory sessions, in which we will apply the 6 foundations and 7 principles of Analytic Somatic Therapy™.
Analytic Somatic Therapy™ (AST) was developed by Somatic Psychologist Dr. John Conger. The 6 foundations of Analytic Somatic Therapy™ are: Grounding, Breath, Boundaries, Range of Emotion, Intentional Presence and Energy.
The 7 principles are: Psyche-Soma Correspondence, A Basic Vocabulary of Techniques, the Evolutionary Body, Character and Defense, Analysis, Presence and Attention, Collaboration and Incorporation.
We will start with an initial interview and a body reading. In each session, we will address your current and past struggles as well as your goals for the future, using a combination of psycho-education, talk therapy as well as hands-on somatic exercises and practices to work with the emotional body.
In the somatic exercises, we will explore the SEANIC sequence: Sensation, Emotional Attitude, Narrative,Image and Contradiction.

Program #2
The Emotional Body in Community
Analytic Somatic Therapy™ and the Bioenergetic Perspective
with Monika Broecker, MFTi
A program consisting of 6 individual introductory sessions combined with 3 group processing sessions
Offered in Berkeley and Mountain View
Are you intrigued about Analytic Somatic Therapy™ and the Bioenergetic Perspective and would like to experience this transformational work together in a community with others?
This program is similar to Program #1 (please read description above) in that we will work with the 6 foundations and 7 principles of Analytic Somatic Therapy™ but differs in that the 6 individual sessions will be embedded in a group context. We will start with a group, have a second group after the first 3 individual sessions and a group in the end to share experiences. The groups are processing groups in which we will also do somatic work in dyads.
While open to anyone, this program is particularly designed for Psychology students and practicing psychotherapists who want to start integrating simple or more advanced somatic approaches or deepen their somatic practice from the Analytic Somatic perspective. Bodyworkers are also welcome.
This program is more structured. While there is flexibility in scheduling individual sessions the group sessions will take place either Wednesday, Friday or Saturday in Berkeley and Monday or Thursday in Mountain View.
