“Am I my body?  Where does my soul  live?”
 
After thousands of years, these questions remain a  mystery.
 
In this workshop we will use Authentic Movement as a  spiritual practice to explore our own answers through direct experience.   By moving in the presence of a supportive witness, seen in the gestures,  movements and sounds emerging naturally from our bodies, we will listen with  trust and compassion to all parts of ourselves.  We will discover our own  unique relationship to body and soul.
 

As a registered dance and drama therapist, BC clinical counsellor, spiritual  director, and creator of ritual theatre I have been devoted to Authentic Movement  for nineteen years.  Now I am exploring its applications to embodied creativity  and spirituality.  I have a private counseling practice and teach  throughout Vancouver.

The West Coast Canada Institute for ISTDP 

presents

1-Day Audio-visual Clinical Case Presentation and Seminar

with

Dr. Josette ten have-de Labije, Psy D. (Berlin, Germany)

"The Woman Who Fell Into the Void"

Fees: $125 (GST included)

This full-day presentation and seminar will demonstrate how ISTDP (Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) method was used to work with a highly traumatized patient with concomitant high superego pathology and low ego-adaptive capacity and the subsequent steps to:

• building a strong therapeutic alliance
• facilitating, with the patient's, the de-identification with her harsh and devaluing superego
• strengthening the patient's ego-adaptive capacity (affect regulation)
• uncovering painful feelings and working them through

Video-vignettes from parts of the initial interview and subsequent sessions will demonstrate the patient's and therapist's common undertaking to conquer the patient's punitive superego and to restructure her ego-adaptive capacity in order to work through the patient's many repressed painful feelings concerning the shocking traumatic event and the resultant agony of deep loss. 

Dr. ten Have-de Labije's resolute strength and tenderness as a therapist and her ability to masterfully apply the process of ISTDP has made her a highly-regarded and sought-after teacher, supervisor and lecturer in Europe and the USA.  In this presentation, she shows not only the powerful effect ISTDP method has on de-repressing painful memories and traumatic experiences, but the degree to which our patients can be liberated from emotional suffering.

In this presentation and seminar, Dr. ten Have-de Labije demonstrates how the psychotherapy method of ISTDP can be used with patients on the left side of the spectrum of psychoneurosis (Axis 1 – no character disorders). 

Formerly from the Netherlands, Dr ten Have-de Labije is a a registered psychologist-psychotherapist and clinical psychologist, in private practice since 1990.  Trained and supervised by Professor Dr Habib Davanloo (Montreal), originator of ISTDP, she has taught several post-doctorate courses and workshops on ISTDP in Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, the USA and, now, for the first time, Canada.

She is a visiting faculty member of both the Washington School of Psychiatry and the Southern California Society for ISTDP. 

The West Coast Canada Institute for ISTDP is excited to have Dr. ten Have-de Labije as our inaugural presenter.
