WHAT IS VOCACIONAL GUIDANCE?
A practice that aims to help people build up their own
life and professional projects
Self-knowledge
Knowledge of reality
Decision making
Identity as the starting point (Jean Guichard)
The facilitator looks for the Essence, the Core.3
Fernando Aguiar – Brazil – [email protected]
THE BODY AS OUR BASIC IDENTITY
The baby feels, therefore he/she exists
culture usually limits individuals spontaneous expressions,
We loose contact with our own body, feelings and real needs
To have a strong and healthy identity, we must have a deep contact with our body
Body-work as a way for empowerment and changing of self concepts 4
Fernando Aguiar – Brazil – [email protected]
PRATICAL EXPERIENCE Grounding
Be in touch with oneself and with the external reality
Breathing
Breath deply = feel deply
Self-expression – sound and movement
More self integration
Establishing new neural networks 5

When we are grounded we know where
we are and who we are. (Alexander

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONRESULTS AND DISCUSSION
First meaning zone: “Without direction”
“I want to know myself so I can choose something I like”
“I hate maths! I thought about doing psychology, nursing, fisiotherapy, social service and nutrition.”
I thought about doing veterinary or physical education, but gave up. I thought of turism, but I don’t know. My
father don’t want me to do physical education.
At this point, doing grounding position was vary hard 9
Fernando Aguiar – Brazil – [email protected]
Second meaning zone: "Facing Reality“
"Making grounding hurts“
The playful when doing body work with adolescents
"I sought more civil engineering, architecture and psychology. I liked psychology. I tried also the military. The exam is difficult, but I can get there “
"The last workshop made me think of all the problems we have in professions.“
“I felt like an energy. I felt that it started at my feet going all the way up here (at the head)."

Third meaning zone: "I can make it“
"Helped me to say ‘ME' and to appreciate myself more“
"I cried with people that I had just met. The vocational guidance made me feel very comfortable, the people allowed me that. "
"With my decision ... I'll be saying no to my father and yes to me "

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONRESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Fernando Aguiar – Brazil – [email protected]
The more someone expresses oneself from a
true place, the more he/she approaches to
this truth (Pierrakos, 1990).
