The Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP) was designed to systemize the mind body links that we all use in out daily lives and based on long term observations, single out key movement qualities and patterns which have the most psychological significance for describing, assessing and interpreting nonverbal behavior. Its structure and focus are based on the psychological profile developed by Anna Freud, with a strong emphasis on development. It's movement language is based on the Laban System of Movement Notation with modifications adaptive to it's psychological focus. The KMP's information about interpersonal psychological functioning is applicable to all age groups; some patterns may even be studied in the womb. In this workshop a "practical" approach will be presented that is designed for verbal therapists to use. This is a basic introduction to a very complex tool. Verbal therapist will leave with a beginning understanding of how to use this in their clinical work.

Experience an introduction to the KMP. Be introduced to the concepts of attuning and clashing and how this looks and feels in movement. Learn about shaping in planes, tension flow and efforts. These parts follow early childhood developmental patterns that can be seen in adulthood. Learn how to identify the patterns and make interventions to help children and adults achieve healing. Learn about the KMP rhythms and how they follow developmental frame works of Freud and Erickson. Music will be used to help participants actively experience each phase and learn how to use music to help utilize interventions and assessments in daily work. Topic area: Assessment.

Experience and learn a four-part Impulse Reduction Model developed by Angela Wiley and inspired by rhythms of the Kestenberg Movement Profile. This model brings a person through four phases: invitation, excitement, grounding/centering and reflection so as to bring excitement/stimulation and then teach how to ground and gain control. By experiencing these phases with movement, music, art, or verbal/cognitive thinking, one can realize and embody the possibility of choice to ground and gain control when overly stimulated or triggered. This is especially useful in working with trauma survivors, and those struggling with impulse control and with addictions. Angela uses this model in her work with drama, movement and music. The model also has applications in art, writing, traditional talk therapy and others, which will be experienced and discussed.
