Body Psychotherapy and Bioenergetic Analysis
Bioenergetic Analysis is unique, with a well-established tradition, and is dedicated to psychological and emotional growth, vibrant health, vitality, pleasure, joy, love, autonomy, and a rich connection with others and the world.
Bioenergetic Analysis is a branch of body psychotherapy based on the premise that the mind and body are not separate entities, but integral aspects of a unified whole. Alexander Lowen, M.D., who founded Bioenergetics in 1956, believed that emotional problems in life should be understood and addressed through a combination of in-depth conversation and a deep exploration of the body’s language; that is, how we breathe, move, and express ourselves physically.
What to Expect in Bioenergetic Therapy
In Bioenergetic Therapy, we focus on the psychological issues presented by each person and the manifestation of these issues as shown in the individual’s body, energy, and movement. The verbal work consists of an exploration of an individual’s past, dreams, associations, and current problems.
The bodywork involves helping people to become aware of their emotional problems at a bodily level, addressing disturbances in breathing and chronic muscle tension. By addressing conflicts at the cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels, bioenergetic therapy works with the whole person. It seeks to help each individual gain a greater understanding and awareness of old patterns of action and reaction, increase our capacity to tolerate and resolve old pains, conflicts, or traumas, and enhance the ability to experience pleasure. This results in an improved connection with oneself and with others.
