Workshop Content
I am honoured to be organising one of Jim McCormick's Advanced Zero Balancing workshops to take place in the UK: Verbals Fulcrums.
Using Zero Balancing principles and skills learned from years of practice, and study of many systems of processing, this class will create an experiential laboratory to look at how we can use words in Zero Balancing to deepen the effects of our ZB sessions. Learning how to feel comfortable and successful using verbal fulcrums within a session is of great value for the Zero Balancer. Experience has shown that in certain held areas, and with certain clients, more complete healing can happen with verbal processing.
The class will include theoretical presentations of dynamic models for better understanding the transformational processes that take place in Zero Balancing. It will also include experiential exercises designed to help us practice working in all areas of ZB where we use words – getting rapport with clients initially; framing; using verbal fulcrums in a ZB session; and using words after sessions – in evaluating; helping the client become more aware of the learning that occurred; creating “homework” for clients that energetically matches their need; to the final goodbye.
- Learn when (and when not) to use verbal processing in Zero Balancing sessions
- Learn how to use words safely, respectfully, and effectively in many different situations in Zero Balancing
- Learn how to use words that keep the client in their “right brain”
- Learn how to create deeper rapport and deeper frames with clients, which allows more change in ZB sessions
It is recommended to read Jim's book, Zero Balancing: Conscious Touch and Transformation before attending the course.
