The course has been designed as professional development for mental health professionals and educators. Completion will enable participants to work with this groundbreaking approach.Touch is the most fundamental human experience. We learn safety and love through touch, but also abuse and violence. Clay Field Therapy is capable to repair interpersonal trauma. The focus is on haptic perception, which describes how we sense and perceive with our hands. The material will reciprocate every communication impulse. Every time children reach out with a motor impulse, they will receive sensory feedback from their own action pattern. This sensorimotor feedback loop defines the essence of Clay Field Therapy. The approach does not ask for what happened, but will address trauma as developmental setbacks. In particular children who do not respond to cognitive and image-based approaches, can practice to process and order incoming information in an embodied way. At the Clay Field they learn to organise their implicit sensorimotor base, which gradually enables them to respond to relationships with their environment in an increasingly fulfilling way.
