Gerda Boyesen

Gerda Boyesen was a pioneer in the field of psychotherapy, known for developing Biodynamic Psychology, which integrates body awareness with emotional healing. She believed that physical sensations and muscle tensions are closely linked to mental and emotional issues, and that working through bodily experiences can facilitate psychological well-being. Her approach combines techniques like breath work and body awareness to help individuals access and release deep-seated trauma and emotional blockages. Boyesen’s work emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind and body, offering a holistic approach to personal growth and healing.
