Because the impact of trauma is held in the body – as well as the mind – the healing of child sexual abuse happens most effectively when both mind and body are involved. Pesso Boyden System of Psychotherapy (PBSP) is a body-based therapy.

As Bessel Van der Kolk – renowned trauma specialist said of Al Pesso’s work, when talking about Trauma and Abandonment: “It’s the only thing that I feel really works, and that’s the stuff I learned from Al Pesso [which] is to actually give people a visceral experience of what it would have been like as a small kid to have people be there for you.”
In his book The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk also said, “The healing tableaus of [PBSP] structures offer an experience that many participants would have never believed was possible for them: to be welcomed into a world where people delight in them, protect them, meet their needs and make you feel at home.”
PBSP has a comprehensive theoretical framework for working with child sexual abuse. This impacts bottom up, brain stem responses, reflexes and automatic survival patterns as well as with the top down parts, involved in thinking, speaking, and our current emotional awareness.
Juliet will share a PBSP model: the 10 themes that commonly arise when working with people who were sexually abused as children. Juliet will be showing 4 short films, which are extracts of client sessions, to give a powerful illustration of how PBSP works with the body.
Whilst recognising that the majority of people attending this talk will not be trained PBSP therapists, Juliet hopes to alert them to some of the more obscure needs of clients who are dealing with these issues.
