The connective tissue, not the muscles, holds the patient's history and the characterological defenses within the body, creating its structure and determining the patient's psychic, emotional and physical behaviors. Every system's behavior is created by its structure; change the structure, and new behaviors emerge. Helping the patient to safely deconstruct and then reconstruct, is possible using the non-invasive touch of Points&Positions to activate connective tissue's ability to reconstruct itself by touching in the correct manner.

In this experiential workshop, I will first explain recent neurological and anatomical research on connective tissue and the Points&Positions technique that works with and not on contracted tissue. A unique aspect of this method is that it is not the action of the practitioner that brings about changes. After some demonstrations, you will practice the P&P method, which is easily adaptable to all body-oriented psychotherapies, in dyads both learning about and experiencing the transformative powers of connective tissue's plasticity; its ability to change its structure by adapting to changing conditions.
