Body Psychotherapy
Body psychotherapy encompasses a number of integrative approaches, and is concerned with the integration of physiological/somatic (body), emotional, mental, spiritual, and social/relational aspects of the individual. It involves an extensive depth of knowledge and explicit theories of mind-body functioning, taking into account the complexity of interactions and reciprocal relationships between psyche and soma.
Body psychotherapy modalities, such as integrative body psychotherapy, bioenergetic analysis, or biodynamic psychotherapy and biodynamic massage, share an underlying assumption that humans are embodied beings and therefore share a functional unity between psychological and physiological aspects of existence.
Body psychotherapists acknowledge dynamic correlations between somatic (body) manifestations and psychological processes instead of hierarchical relationships between mind and body. Recent advances in neuroscience have substantiated these core body psychotherapy concepts. Body Psychotherapy is widely available in the UK for individuals and as group therapy.
