Lunch with Luminaries: Low-Energy States – what are they and how can we work with them?
With Kathrin Stauffer
September 21, 2021
Join us for a free webinar with Kathrin Stauffer PhD, UKCP Registered Body Psychotherapist.
For many people, cultivating expression of emotions offers a way of experiencing greater aliveness and a more fulfilled life. But some individuals experience the expression of emotions as dangerous and overwhelming and do not have access to this kind of spontaneity. These are often individuals who have experienced substantial early trauma and as a result have developed a preponderance of low-energy muscle in their bodies.
We are just beginning to understand how such low-energy states come about and how we can work with them, both psychologically and in bodywork. Psychologically, the key is to ‘resource’ the person – which means to increase their resilience and containment of strong feelings as well as to help them widen the range of available options for managing life; on the level of the body, we need to ‘dose down’ our interventions so that the person can inhabit their body with greater ease.
I will talk about my understanding of this group of individuals and, if time allows, guide you in a few exercises to illustrate my material.

About the Lunch with Luminaries Series
We’re launching a new webinar series – Lunch with Luminaries – to share different perspectives on a variety of topics of interest to our community. These talks pay homage to early Haven days where co-founders Ben and Jock invited various thought leaders into conversation – sometimes they agreed with the ideas shared and sometimes they didn’t. We think this spirit of curiosity and generosity is an important core value we hold, and we’re excited to recreate this concept today with time and space-transcending technology!
Each webinar will have a Haven Host who will introduce or interview the guest speaker and in some cases take Q&A from the audience. The focus of these 1-hour live events is expansion, learning, and curiosity. They are free for anyone to attend and will be hosted in Zoom, an easy-to-use event platform. Please consider donating to Haven Foundation during registration. Registrants will receive limited-time access to the recording following the event.
