The MAP journey weaves Mental, Affective and Physical learning into an innovative model that offers a new and exciting perspective on human needs and trauma and integrates the principles of fascial movement.
Suitable for practising and student Dance Movement Therapists, somatic psychotherapists, counsellors and psychotherapists wishing to expand their knowledge of the body and movement in trauma work.
This three-hour presentation will present the Heifetz Needs Matrix (HNM), which incorporates physical aliveness and safety as the baseline to human needs expressed at each developmental stage.
We will explore how fascial movement is a resource both for the client to calm their nervous system and for the therapist to identify defence patterns of fight, flight, freeze/collapse locked in their client’s bodies.
Survival, Love, Power and Meaning will be previewed as organizing principles of the HNM system. The HNM challenges Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, with a non-hierarchical matrix where the body and movement are at the foundation.
Learning objectives:
1. Experience fascial movement as a resource for calming the nervous system and identifying defence patterns in a client’s body.
2. Understand the components of the Heifetz Needs Matrix (HNM)
3. Explore the organizing principles of the HNM: Survival, Love, Power and Meaning
