Body psychotherapy: This approach acknowledges that all facets of human experience are interrelated: that the processes of the body/mind not only affect and reflect each other but are actually inter-functioning aspects of a person’s whole being. Each person’s individual history, their cultural/biological context and somatically-based subjective reality are all inextricably interconnected.
Body psychotherapy utilises various techniques and relies on breath, physical touch, and movement as its primary tools. Clients are taught to become aware of their bodies, how to track bodily sensations, and how to implement physical actions that promote significant change in their cognitions and emotions. Thus, helping them discover which resources are available to them and which need to be challenged or changed.
