  • How Does the Embodiment of Memory Affect Therapeutic Relationships?

    Saturday, December 6th, 2025
    Online from 12 Noon-2:00pm/Eastern

    “Hysterics suffer mainly from reminiscences.”

    Since Freud and Breuer pronounced this in 1895, memory is still believed to play a crucial role in the physical as well as psychological suffering of our patients. We now understand that memory is not only verbal and declarative but is also nonverbal and implicit. Our panelists will share how they use body-based memory in all their therapeutic encounters.
