TRAINING:

Spiritual Midwifery is a deep, grounded joining of therapeutic and spiritual work. Its intention is: the raising of consciousness, healing to the roots of our being, organic growth, transformation, and the fulfillment of our potential. Most of all, this work helps us give deeper and deeper birth to our spirit ... for our own sake and for the sake of our world.

This is a deep, thorough, intensive process. Some aspects are alike for everyone, and some are individualized for the unique needs of each person. It weaves together:

• Your own personal work – healing, birthing, transformation (both individual and group);
• Various forms of guidance, supervision, and mentoring (both individual and group);
• Home adventures; and
• Where possible, some form of apprenticeship.

For those who don’t yet have the experience with me to commit to the entire process, I am open to creating doorways through which some aspects of the work can be done while the experience develops:

• For those wanting to know more, an Introduction To Spiritual Midwifery can be presented.
• For those living outside the North East Corridor, I am willing to travel to your group’s location.
• For those not yet ready to commit to the entire process, but who want to take a deeper step into the exploration and preparation, there are select segments of the process that may be undertaken through individual or group personal work, supervision, personal training intensives, and/or training workshops.

This work requires a deep, profound commitment ... a longing and passion to help others in their own healing journey and to continue your own deep work for a life-time.

SUPERVISION:

This is a time when people need those of us in the therapeutic calling to be able to attune to them, receive them, connect with them, teach them, guide them, help them build the capacity to go to the roots of their issues – issues that complicate their relationship with themselves and with the outer world – and to go with them as they journey all the way through, and out the other side.

To this end, I offer ongoing supervision for therapists who are called to learn more about how to help their clients go to the depths so needed in these times.

HOME STUDY COURSES:

For healing arts professionals . . . I have a number of home study courses, available through Professional Development Resources, with CE credits available. These courses are the result of a collaboration with Professional Development Resources, and help deepen your understanding of the healing that is possible, for your clients, for you, and for our world.

ADJUNCT THERAPY:

Using this approach I can assist you, the primary therapist, and your client to get a “jump start” toward even deeper healing. When the client is ripe for the deepening or when the client is “stuck,” this work makes it possible for healer and client to move beyond a block to a more fruitful ongoing process. Adjunct therapy may be structured differently depending upon the therapist/client need. In choosing this option, the challenge of the client splitting is always taken into account and discussed. At times I see the client on a periodic basis – perhaps every few weeks, once a month, or as needed. What emerges from our work together is taken back to the primary therapist for further exploration and integration. Consultation sessions with the therapist are held, as needed. Sometimes I invite them both to attend one of my workshops, with the therapist attending as witness and support and the client as participant. This opens a space for me to do work with the client and later share my observations and insights with the therapist. Alternatively, I may create a mini-intensive specifically designed for the therapist and client. During the mini-intensive I observe the work between healer and client or work together with them. After the client leaves I consult with the therapist offering my feedback, insights, hunches and suggestions.

TEACHING:

Over my 30+ years as a depth psychotherapist, I have gained a wealth of experience. And I have taught and supervised many therapists along the way.

I am always open to taking some of this experience to places where others can learn from it . . . students of counseling and psychology at colleges and in training programs, already practicing professionals who would like to bring me in for more depth training, and other places that I might not even think of.

If you know anyone who may be interested in such possibilities, please email me at JudBarr@JudithBarr.com.

I am available to explore offering each aspect on this page to organizations and groups by invitation and to individuals by request.
