Comments on: An Introduction to Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/hakomi-body-centered-psychotherapy/ Exploring Healthy Psychotherapy Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:06:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jaffy Phillips http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/hakomi-body-centered-psychotherapy/#comment-24256 Jaffy Phillips Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:51:54 +0000 http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/?p=5234#comment-24256 Dear Buffy, In response to your question: yes, many people do use Hakomi therapy as a means to help resolve current problems that are related to childhood experiences. This is one of the main things that it is designed to accomplish. However, Hakomi may not always be the best approach for a specific person, depending on some of the specific details of their situation and also to some degree on the experience of the therapist. If this is something that your cousin is interested in, I'd recommend that s/he interview with several therapists, including one or more Hakomi therapists, and see what feels like the best fit. (There is information available on this site (under the "Find a Therapist" heading, I believe) about things to consider when looking for a therapist.) Dear Buffy,

If every medical practitioner decides to get equally involved, there will be people curing much faster everywhere.
