Bioenergetics

Bioenergetics is a form of psychodynamic psychotherapy that combines work with the body and mind to help people resolve their emotional problems and realize more of their potential for pleasure and joy in living.

 

Bioenergetics believe that there is a correlation between the mind and the body. What affects the body affects the mind, and what affects the mind affects the body.  The psychological defenses one uses to handle the pain and stress of life are also anchored in the body.  They appear in the body as unique muscular patterns that inhibit self-expression. These patterns can be identified and understood by bioenergetics psychotherapists who know how to look at the structure, movement, and breathing patterns in a person’s body.
