Inside Biodynamic therapy with Anat Ben-Israel

05/18/22 • 64 min

To celebrate the centenary of innovative psychotherapist Gerda Boyesen, the founder of Biodynamic psychotherapy, I talk to Anat Ben-Israel M.A. Anat explains the central theory behind Biodynamic methods, how these ideas have been integrated into the mainstream of body-mind theory, why Gerda's work was overlooked in favour of her male colleagues, and how relevant this work is to our everyday lives.
Anat is a Biodynamic Psychotherapist, a senior biodynamic trainer who has training schools in Israel and the USA, she’s a Training Board member at the London School of Biodynamic Psychotherapy, as well as working with clients privately in her clinic and online. Like me, she was lucky enough to have been taught by Gerda Boyesen, the founder of Biodynamic Psychotherapy an innovator who created a uniquely feminine, cyclical way of working.
You can find Anat at biodynamictherapy.net

Inside cyclical business with Sophie Jane Hardy

Today you can listen in to a conversation I had recently with nature and cycle-inspired business coach, writer and podcast host Sophie Jane Hardy, about how to create a sustainable business by using the seasons of menstruality as a guide:

What Sophie has learned returning to work after maternity leave
How can we run our businesses without burning out
Planning for quiet periods, illness and our ‘winter times’
Defining success on our own terms
How can we manage the constant pressure to be ‘out there’ promoting ourselves
How to stay true to our vision when the world doesn’t seem to support it

And much more!
