The Body in Psychotherapy

The body in psychotherapy refers to recognizing how physical sensations, emotions, and past experiences are interconnected. Emotions often manifest physically through tension, posture, or energy. Incorporating the body into therapy helps clients become aware of these signals, fostering a deeper understanding of their feelings and patterns. Techniques like breathwork, movement, or body awareness exercises can facilitate emotional processing, reduce stress, and promote healing. This approach acknowledges that healing involves not just thoughts and feelings but also the physical experiences that shape our overall well-being.
