International Courses-Zoom and Relational Body Psychotherapy online
Liliana Acero
The Foundation's work is built around Relational Body Psychotherapy, an approach Dr. Liliana Acero developed over decades of research, clinical work and training — connecting neo-Reichian bodywork, somatic reading, and gender theory.
Courses run online via Zoom. Participants range from psychologists and health and mental health-care workers and social scientists to people with no clinical training who want a different way into their own body.
Liliana Acero spent decades building Relational Body Psychotherapy into a recognized field, with research, clinical work and training across USA, Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Her approach bridges academic theory and direct clinical work.
