#55 – David Kirk-Campbell – Touching Dialogue – A Somatic Psychotherapy for Self-Realization – From Caution to Potential
This is a must-hear! David Kirk-Campbell, born in 1942, developed the technique Touching Dialogue in the 1980s, so the dialogue has been going on for a while. In this episode he shares how he works to create safety for the unconscious- David Kirk-Campbell has been in Rolfing for 50 years, he is a Psychotherapist and he developed a method to combine the conversational therapy and the knowledge from body-work. Listen if you want to hear about how the body’s cells sense touch and transform the contraction to openness – the no to a yes.
I feel David is speaking to heart —about topics and in ways that my soul deeply recognizes. What about you? Let me know what you felt as we talk about themes such as:
- What the method of Touching Dialogue really is
- What dreams has to do with it
- From fear to courage by working with the deepest level of existential safety
- Working with measurable contracts
- How Rolfing is different from Touching Dialogue
- How skin carry emotions
- People Pleasing/Fawning and how to stop being to adapted (the stop agreement)
- Clients happy but not satisfied with a treatment
- Boundaries, feelings of being unsafe and over-adapt
- What is the motivation for coming to body therapy?
- What it means to dialogue with the body
