Blueprint Resonance
Verbal Coaching for Embodied Transformation
A somatic approach to trauma resolution, counseling, and personal growth with Anna Chitty.
Verbal skills for practitioners who work through touch
Anna Chitty developed Blueprint Resonance out of a forty-year therapeutic career working with clients to integrate somatic bodywork and psychotherapeutic development. The course draws on her extensive study of Somatic Experiencing, Matrixworks, Polarity Therapy, DiamondHeart, Zen Buddhism, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
Blueprint Resonance offers touch practitioners a way to deepen their understanding and capacity to use verbal skills in support of clients, on and off the table. These skills help practitioners work effectively with clients who show the effects of trauma and have lost the ability to self-regulate. That loss shows up in many common ailments: anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, physical pain, and destructive behaviors.
Whatever the origin of the problem, whether a car accident, sports injury, disease, or medical treatment, it helps to be able to meet these clients not only through touch but also verbally: to work with trauma, deepen engagement with the healing process, and develop the cognitive awareness and skills to meet life circumstances mindfully.
Classes include theory and practical application, both on the table and in chairs.
What the seven modules cover
Theory and practical application, both on the table and in chairs. Each module builds on the one before.
- Symptoms and therapeutic verbal strategies for hyper- and hypo-states, including emotional overwhelm
- How to help clients deepen into their experience more fully so that the inherent treatment plan can be accessed, and how to broaden the experience so there is more capacity to be with, and somatically integrate, past events
- Practices to deepen the capacity for somatic tracking and naming
- How to cultivate and support the completion of defensive responses, bringing more empowerment and reinstating lost capacities
- The anatomy and physiology of the triune nervous system: how to recognize it, track it, and work with it
- Perceiving a client's state and working at the edges of the Window of Presence, including verbal and somatic skills for each specific state
- Recognizing and working with truncated orienting responses
- Managing your own activation
- Working with pendulation of states, with the Two-Chair and other methods
