WHY DO I CHOOSE BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY?

► Body Psychotherapy, more than any other approach, emphasizes on our ability to be our body, considering the body as a system of physical, mental and emotional functions.

► Using our body’s vitality and wisdom we can endure and overcome difficulties such as stress, depression, panic and psychological trauma.

► Recent researches on the neurophysiology of emotions justify the psychotherapeutic approaches that use the body.

► Famous researchers such as Gerald Edelman (Nobel prize for Medicine), Henri Laborit, Antonio Damasio and others have showed the close relation between body experience and the unconscious functions of the lower brain. Our emotional and mental life and the formation of the Ego and conscience depend on and originate in them.

► When the positive change, that every kind of psychotherapy seeks for in the mental and emotional world of the individual, is supported by the mobilization of the body, this creates deeper correctional experience in less time, since the new learning can be felt in more levels of the Self.

► Body Psychotherapy redefines our nature positively, seeing it as part of the bigger natural world (ecological dimension), where the body identifies with the Self. Far from being a ‘’lower’’ part of it, it forms a safe place which connects us with Life.
