What kinds of problems does body-psychotherapy address?
My body-centered therapy practice addresses many general therapy issues such as:
〈 anxiety or depression
〈 problems in intimate relationships
〈 feeling stuck and unable to move forward in life
〈 healing from a difficult childhood
〈 facing a crisis, death or major transition
In addition, body-psychotherapy can be particularly helpful with problems where the body is an obvious player:
〈 when stress is showing up on the body level
〈 dealing with medical illness
〈 problems with eating, sleeping or sexuality
〈 compulsive behaviors
〈 difficulty slowing down, overworking
〈 freezing, numbness, under-responsiveness
As a body-psychotherapist, I look at each problem in the context of the person’s whole life, including the sense of higher purpose or deeper meaning that may be embedded in the symptoms or problems. The bodywork offers a way to come to deeper realization of the nature of the issue. It offers the possibility of new meanings, more compassionate ways of experiencing, and more empowered ways of responding to life.
