“To be an integrated individual, [you] must be identified with [your] body and with [your] word... To achieve this integration, one must start with being the body - You are your body... One must end with being the word - You are your word. But the word must come from the heart.” Alexander Lowen, Founder of Bioenergetic Analysis

BIOENERGETIC THERAPY By addressing conflicts at a cognitive, emotional, spiritual and physical level, Bioenergetic Therapy works with the whole person. It seeks to help the individual: • Gain greater understanding and awareness of old patterns of action and reaction, • Enlarge the capacity to tolerate and resolve old pain and increase the ability to experience pleasure and connection in living • Feel connected to oneself, to others and to one's surroundings • Deepen your theoretical understanding by learning how to link it with the profound wisdom of the body • Acquire tools for dealing with feelings
of insecurity, worthlessness, fear, etc.
“Bioenergetics gets
past talking about core emotional issues to feeling them and working them
through in a very real and immediate way by working with the body. Deep-seated
emotional pain not susceptible to being talked out can be released in
a safe and gentle manner using these methods.&rdquo (PS) | BECOME A CERTIFIED BIOENERGETIC THEAPIST Do you have a degree in psychology, social work, addictions or pastoral counselling, or a related field?
