Body Psychotherapy is an established therapeutic approach that deals with the embodied self of man. Eastern and Western fundamentals, as well as recent insights from brain research and biology give BodyPsychotherapy a scientific basis and profound impulses to touch the human being in its entirety. BodyPsychotherapy encourages you to immerse yourself in the language of your body, to develop a sense of your feelings and messages, to sharpen your self-awareness and to gain a deep understanding of your own life story with its survival patterns. In our programs we integrate in our vision the work of John & Eva Pierrakos (Core Energetics) as well as of other valuable and noble influencers like Al & Diane Pesso, Jack W. Painter and others.
Bodymind Integration is first-hand experience and gives you the courage for liveliness and authenticity.
