The Pesso Method is used for personal growth and self development in a group format. It leads to new perspectives in understanding and to healing of past hurts: from general feelings of dissatisfaction / disquiet, to specific things a person senses is blocking them. Examples of issues addressed in past workshops include:

a lack of 'fit' between how people see you and how you feel inside
unmet needs from the past interfering with present-day relationships
problems in expressing power positively or dealing with people in authority
self-esteem / identity / belonging issues, despite high achievement and professional success
dealing with disappointment and loss or with recovery from trauma or abuse
feeling compelled to take responsibility when it's not appropriate.

The Pesso Method goes beyond 'talk therapy.' It systematically uses the emotional centre of the brain (the limbic system) to play a full part in natural 'mind-body' healing of what an individual missed in the past. The method respects the client and leads to greater pleasure, satisfaction, meaning and connectedness in life.

Workshop Leaders

Sally Potter and Pete Mann completed training in the UK in the Pesso Method in 2004. For the past five years they have spent part of each summer in advanced training in the USA with Al Pesso, who continues to elaborate this powerful therapeutic approach (called Pesso-Boyden System Psychomotor), which he co-founded with Diane Boyden.

Participant Feedback

1) I cannot believe what a difference the structure [session] has made and the way it has already enabled me to feel confident to be clear and honest in the relationship. I know there are boundaries there that were missing before. I think I'd forgotten just how powerful this work [is], and you both handled the structure with such skill and focus. I am so grateful.

2) I experienced benefit from the work I did last Sunday. How I took care of myself was different this week when I was feeling frightened. I was much more welcoming and subsequently felt much happier. Good stuff!
