• It is like a surgical table for therapists to extract and repair deep, implicit memory issues between partners and, by proxy, original childhood caregivers.
• The therapist “casts” each partner into roles appropriate for the therapeutic direction as decided by the therapist.
• Though the lovers pose is as it sounds, for lovers holding one another, it is also the caregiver-infant pose, the Pietà pose (holding a dead loved one), and inner child pose.
• This demonstration will also provide instructions for getting into and out of the pose which involves a three-step process.
