Training Description:
The 2½-day introductory training offers hands-on experience in learning, applying, and receiving Calatonia, as well as theoretical information about the history and development of Calatonia & Subtle Touch method, its clinical applications, ethics and psychological bases.
Guidelines for using the Calatonia protocol are covered in great detail, and this section also includes a basic reflection on the underpinnings of Calatonia, with information on the latest developments on skin-touch research.
After this initial training, participants will have sufficient practice and theoretical information to integrate Calatonia into their practice at an entry level.
The time allocated for hands-on practice is 70%, and the theoretical component makes up the remaining 30%.
This training does not authorise participants to teach the method. For information on this topic: Requirements for Becoming a Calatonia Facilitator and Trainer
Note to Participants
Training in Calatonia & Subtle Touch offers a unique opportunity for professional learning as well as personal development. Participants usually report a boost in self-confidence, mutual trust and acceptance, sense of safety, respect for each person’s pace, and an appreciation for gentleness and non-invasiveness in somatic therapy.
The results of group work are usually highly positive, as group energy and dynamics can enhance the individual’s capacity for self-development and deepen the participant’s somatic and psychological processes.
For this reason, it is essential and highly recommended that participants be involved in their own psychotherapy, before and/or during the training.
Participants will receive a Training Brochure.
