The Inner Terrain of the Therapist: Self-Reflection and Inner Work in SER
This lecture explores the essential role of the therapist’s inner life in the practice of SomatoEmotional Release (SER). As therapists, we journey alongside our clients through deep emotional terrains, past traumas, preverbal memories, and existential longings. The client’s psychological, emotional, and energetic patterns inevitably shape the therapeutic field—just as our own capacity to witness and hold space profoundly influences the process.
This lecture will emphasise the necessity of cultivating a self-reflective stance—grounded in ongoing inner work, embodied awareness, and an ethical commitment to presence.
