The little guy lived in the dessert where survival skills are paramount and he got me a good one, it hurt like the dickens for about 5 minutes. Then I forgot about it. But days later the site around the bite was swollen in a circle nearly 3 inches across. It was hard, and hot and itched- itched- itched- itched- itched. Scratching made it itch even more. Scratching also tore up the skin that was stretched tight over the inflamed tissue which could cause problems of a different nature. http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/core-energetics/ http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/core-energetics/ Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:21:34 GMT Core Energetics (CE) was created by John C. Pierrakos in the 1970s. Pierrakos was a student of Wilhelm Reich and worked closely with Alexander Lowen. After jointly creating Bioenergetics, Pierrakos split with Lowen to create his own unique way of working with his patients. Influenced by the work of Carl Jung and his wife, Eva Pierrakos, CE evolved to include not only the roots or Reichian theory, but also an eclectic mix of energy and consciousness theory. http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/group-therapy-post-partum-depression-omega-3/ http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/group-therapy-post-partum-depression-omega-3/ Thu, 31 Dec 2009 07:00:42 GMT http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/body-psychotherapy/ http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/body-psychotherapy/ Fri, 2 Jan 2009 04:47:12 GMT In the ongoing practice of psychotherapy clients and therapists exchange many words in the often frustrating attempt to make the therapeutic conversation come alive. In the midst of all the verbal communication what is often missing is the sense of both people being fully engaged and focused. Therapy can often too easily become reduced to people talking, communicating with words, and often ignoring the intense sense of life that can emerge when we tap into our immediate emotional and body-centered experience.
