Body-Mind Psychotherapy

Body-Mind Psychotherapy was Developed by: Susan Aposhyan

 

Overview of Body-Mind Psychotherapy: "Our bodies are the center of our experience. They are the tool of our perceptions, the vessel of our feelings and the vehicle for our actions. Body psychotherapy assumes that a functional unity exists between the body and the mind and that therapeutic change occurs through direct experience of the present moment.


In the Body Psychotherapy concentration, the body, movement and sensorimotor tracking are brought intimately together in the process of psychotherapy, where they are studied and practiced in order to stimulate body-based awareness, repattern ill fitting constructs and organize more fulfilling behaviors to heal the body, mind and spirit as an energetic whole." ~Excerpt from http://www.naropa.edu/academics/graduate/psychology/somatic/body.cfm

What Hurts?

By Dana Steiner, MA, LCPC, BCPC, In my practice I am often visited by clients who have both physical and emotional concerns. Often they have been to numerous medical specialists in hopes of alleviating a “pain” that continues to go undiagnosed and or untreated. They are frustrated, I am excited. Why??
