Treating others taxes your mind, your body, and your spirit. It’s not unusual to discover that the more successful your practice becomes and the greater numbers of people that you serve, the more depleted you feel physically and emotionally.
Therapy for the Therapist is a customized program designed by Dr. Peter Bernstein for members of the healing professions. Because therapists need to care for themselves as well as their patients, we offer Reichian-Myofascial Release therapy, which will relieve stress, energize your body and mind, and enhance your work. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to experience first hand effective techniques that you can add to your own practice.
This program offers three options:
- In a two hour introduction with Dr. Bernstein, the therapist talks about his or her own personal needs and concerns. This session also includes Reichian-Myofascial Release therapy to address emotional and physical needs and release areas of the body that hold repressed or current pain. You will leave refreshed, energized and renewed. This introduction can lead therapists into new ways to care for themselves by releasing the pain they absorb, both physically and emotionally, in their practices. Additional sessions of Reichian-Myofascial Release therapy are scheduled as desired.
- Dr. Bernstein and his staff provide mentoring to help therapists improve their ability to release pain in their patients. You will receive instruction and training in new counseling and/or bodywork techniques, and have the opportunity to enhance your present skills. We will also help you with transference and counter-transference issues within the therapeutic relationship.
- Therapists can bring patients who are presenting difficulties to Dr. Bernstein for consultation and treatment. We are sensitive to and respect the integrity of your patient relationships. Our intent is to help you break through difficult areas with your clients and achieve deeper healing. Dr. Bernstein and his staff will help you make progress with a patient who is stuck or blocked, or help resolve difficulties which have developed within the therapeutic relationship.
Listen to what a recent program participant has to say:
“The only word that I can use to describe this program is ‘transformational’. If you are open to it, this program will change your life on many, many levels. Personally, I have been transformed, literally and figuratively . . . I have been mentored, trained and the recipient of the most powerful work that I have ever seen.”
Dr. Bernstein individualizes the Therapy for the Therapist program based on your needs, goals, and budget. The program can include single sessions or a series of sessions taking place either during an intensive week or spread out over time.
