Welcome
You have tried to understand them, to resolve them. You may have already done some psychotherapy with limited or inconclusive results.
You sense that one of the keys to moving forward is through therapeutic work which includes the body in a dynamic and relational way.
Bottom Up Approach
Talking is fundamental in establishing a therapeutic alliance, but it is not sufficient to work with the traumatic experience imprinted in the body during a traumatic event or period.
The therapeutic principle used here integrates the “bottom-up” approach which puts the body and the bodily experience at the center of the therapeutic relationship in order to facilitate more embodied talking.
It is about setting into motion a dynamic between the mind, the body and the brain in order to weave words, emotions and sensations differently.
Several methods and techniques are used depending on your sensitivity and objectives in order to combine the sensory and emotional experience within a reassuring psychotherapeutic relationship.
