Body Psychotherapy
Body Psychotherapy was Developed by: Wilhelm Reich
Overview of Body Psychotherapy: “Body psychotherapy helps people deal with their concerns not only through talking, but also by helping people become deeply aware of their bodily sensations as well as their emotions, images and behavior. Clients become more conscious of how they breathe, move, speak, and where they experience feelings in their bodies. People seek body psychotherapy for the same reasons they seek talking or any form of psychotherapy (e.g., nxiety, depression, relationship problems, sexual difficulties), but also for physical problems (e.g., headaches, lower back pain).” --excerpt from United States Association for Body Psychotherapy
In the Body Psychotherapy degree 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 Naropa University
