The Expressive Body
Non Verbal Communication Skills
Doctors’s deal with other people’s bodies all the time but
how aware are they of their own?
The Expressive Body workshops encourage health practitioners to gain a
greater understanding of their bodies and their non-verbal language.
Through simple, non-intimidating theatre and movement games and exercises,
participants explore how subtle changes in the body can have a huge affect
on the doctor-patient relationship and on relationships with colleagues.
Participants can also begin to recognise how the stress they carry in
their own bodies may have a negative affect on both their work practise
and their well-being.
The workshop provides physical strategies to cope with the demands of
a busy work environment and suggests ways to negotiate the many and various
power dynamics that take place within a hospital or health care setting.
This session has really helped me to address issues of physicality and made me appreciate the way in which I present myself to a patient has a major impact upon how they feel they can relate to me and engage in conversation. Participant 2006
