The singularity of Body Psychotherapy lies with the fact that it did not follow the straight line of other trends that were founded by one person and then spread wider. Because of its history, different trends developed early on in Europe as well as in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their common feature was the fact they converge on the psychotherapeutic processing at multiple levels of body consciousness and experience, in ambiguity and interaction with the mind and the emotions. Accordingly, it is radically different from the various movements of bodywork, since it is not a technique, but instead focuses on the therapeutic relationship and its management.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_margin=”20px||20px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” border_radii=”on|50px|50px|50px|50px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#5C2E91″ custom_padding=”50px|50px|50px|50px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb icon_alignment=”left” content_max_width=”1000px” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_text_color=”#5C2E91″ header_font_size=”25px” body_text_align=”justify” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Today Body Psychotherapy is expected to cope with the hard task of integration and synthesis between the various somatic-psychotherapeutic modalities that have emerged through clinical practice during the last 70 years. The results of contemporary research, neonatal observations and neuroscience support these ideas that attempt to bridge a gap which is now thousands of years old:<\/span> between mind and body<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.pesops.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sigmund-Freud-in-office-56a7922f5f9b58b7d0ebc7ad-scaled-1.jpg” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”11px||11px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb icon_alignment=”left” content_max_width=”1000px” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_text_color=”#5C2E91″ header_font_size=”25px” body_text_align=”justify” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
