Bioenergetic
Analysis is a Body-Centered Psychotherapy that has been in existence for
over forty years. It is a holistic approach to mental health that
works with the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies of the
body. Whatever stress, stuckness, rigidity, or fragmentation exist
in life will also be revealed in the body through muscle tension,
breathing, or movement.
Bioenergetics uses physical exercises
to aid in releasing muscle tension and increasing the ability to
breathe more deeply. This allows the person to enter into altered
states where memories and feelings can surface into conscious
awareness. The expression and release of thoughts and feelings are
encouraged.
Bioenergetics actively involves the whole person in the
therapy process. The client will be able to:
- Release body tension
- Increase energy and vitality
- Improve expression of self
- Remember and integrate abuse issues
- Grow in self-awareness and empowerment
- Enhance intimacy in relationship
