Workshop Description
The Foundations of Therapeutic Touch workshop, which is part of the updated curriculum, is the first in a series of two workshops designed to teach students Therapeutic Touch as developed by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, and Dora Kunz.
After completion of Foundations, you will be able to apply your knowledge of Therapeutic Touch to provide complete sessions to your family, friends, and pets - as well as use Therapeutic Touch for self-care.
Over the course of this workshop students will learn about:
-The C.A.R.E.R model for providing Therapeutic Touch sessions, including how to assess and rebalance a human energy field to facilitate and support the healing process
-Underlying Therapeutic Touch concepts and theories
-Benefits and uses of Therapeutic Touch in a variety of settings
-Academic research on Therapeutic Touch
-Ethical considerations in the practice of Therapeutic Touch
*Note: I teach this workshop over two full days to allow students the time to further explore the subject matter through dialogue. This 2-day format also provides additional hands-on opportunities for students to practice what they have learned, allowing them to further integrate their new skills.
