Exploring Tools and Techniques of Intuitive Experiential Therapy Offered by  Living True, INC.  (Not a SDCA Event)

Program Description:

Words alone don't always reach the depth of a client's experience. Intuitive Experiential Therapy integrates  language, body awareness, intuition, and interactive techniques to uncover deeper emotional truths and foster lasting healing.

This hands-on training introduces practical tools to help therapist read non-verbal cues, engage the body's wisdom, and use intuitive guidance to support client transformation.  Through experiential exercises and guided practice, participants will gain new skills to deepen connection, build trust, and unlock profound healing.  

 Join us to explore a powerful approach that goes beyond words--into deeper connection and lasting change.

After the course you will be able to:

• Define Intuitive Experiential Therapy
• Understand the difference between Experiential Therapy and Intuitive Experiential Therapy
