As the course progresses, we will have an
opportunity to discuss more specific topics, but I wanted to begin with a
general question about the topic.
Please APA 7th quotes with page numbers. This is a high level course. Base on ALL reading (not only few first pages) and videos.
As you move through the readings, what stands out for you in the history and grounding tenets of Somatic Psychology?
How would you characterize the changing attitudes of the body over
time? What speaks to you? What relevance does it have for you?
