Body Psychotherapy promises to to Alleviate Trauma and Improve Emotional Well-Being, Studies Suggest

A recent study published in the European Journal of Psychotraumatology indicates that body-oriented psychotherap, may offer significant benefits for people who have experienced trauma. The research, conducted by Kuhfuß and colleagues in 2021, reviewed the main scientific studies on the topic and highlighted promising effects on patients’ mental and physical health.

This therapeutic approach focuses on the body as a mediator of healing. Rather than relying solely on verbal processing of traumatic experiences, patients are encouraged to notice, feel, and process bodily sensations, fostering an integration between body and mind. According to the authors, two factors stand out in the method’s effectiveness: orientation toward the patient’s internal resources and the use of body-based techniques and mindful contact.

The studies reviewed suggest that somatic psychotherapy can reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in addition to improving emotional and physical responses related to trauma.

Experts point out that body–mind therapies may be particularly helpful in contexts involving eating disorders, anxiety, and other psychological conditions, as they help patients reconnect with their bodies and emotions, promoting well-being and self-awareness.

Based on this growing body of evidence, body-oriented psychotherapy is beginning to gain ground not only in trauma clinics but also as a complementary tool to improve people’s relationship with their own bodies and minds.

A new cycle begins in the body.
In the silence before movement,
in the small gesture that awakens breath,
in the way the chest opens
to receive what arrives
and release what no longer needs to remain.

It is in the body that we feel time moving forward,
not through the days on the calendar,
but through the way life pulses
in every muscle that softens,
in every step that finds the ground,
in every expansion that creates inner space.

Each new year is also an invitation to move:
to stretch what has been rigid,
to bring flexibility where care is needed,
to follow the natural flow
of what grows, matures, and is reborn.

In gesture, we discover presence.
In breath, we find our center.
In slow movement, we realize that change
does not have to be abrupt,
nor urgent,
nor heavy.
It can simply unfold
in the deep rhythm of the body,
where life finds its way.

May 2026 open with softness,
offering new spaces to feel,
new possibilities for transformation,
and new movements that support
what is essential in each one of us.

May it be a year of inner rhythm,
of living presence,
of conscious renewal.

Healing is never a single act.
It does not happen in one isolated thought, in one breath, or in a single insight.
Healing emerges in the quiet place where body, emotion, and spirit begin to speak the same language again.

When the body carries what the mind could not name,
when emotions settle into the muscles, the bones, and the breath,
when the spirit seems distant or silenced, we experience fragmentation.
And life loses its flow.

David Boadella reminds us that our “life streams” flow through every layer of our being.
They are not separate currents, but one continuous river.
And when any of these currents becomes blocked, by trauma, exhaustion, fear, or old patterns, the entire system feels it.

Healing begins when we remember that we were never meant to live divided.

Hello!
We would like to invite you to the Somatic Resonance in Biosynthesis Online Workshop in Spanish, a theoretical and experiential encounter where we will explore how the body, presence, and authentic connection can open up internal spaces of calm, meaning, and clarity.

This workshop stems from a deep desire to continue caring for, accompanying, and expanding our understanding of the body as an essential pathway to psycho-emotional well-being.

Somatic resonance is a way of feeling and understanding the other from an embodied, real, and present place. When this happens, something very human and very necessary is activated: acceptance, attunement, and the possibility of recognizing ourselves through the other. It is in this space that somatic psychotherapy acquires depth and where each person can rediscover themselves from a safe and accompanied place.

This workshop has been created both for those who are curious to approach somatic psychotherapy for the first time and for professionals who wish to experience Biosynthesis from within, through the journey of their own body.

Every gesture of care towards our inner world helps us to build a clearer presence, a more conscious purpose, and a more solid confidence in our life process.

This workshop is an opportunity to listen, to reconnect with yourself, and to strengthen the path you want to build.

Online format:
Pay from the heart 💜
Date: 12/12/2025
Time: 4pm - 7pm CET
Registration required via WhatsApp: 670256307

Trainers:
Paz Cardín García, Ph.D. – Director of Biosynthesis Spain
Dolores Pineiro, Ph.D. – International Trainer of Biosynthesis

It will be a pleasure to share this space with you.
We look forward to seeing you there!

From November 28 to 30, in Brazil, the city of São Paulo hosted a special meeting led by Gerlinde Buchholz, Senior Trainer in Biosynthesis, accompanied by Nutsa Verkhviashvili, in a workshop promoted by OABS Continuous Education.
Over three days, we immersed ourselves in the theme “Neuroscience in the clinic: the development of the brain and the implications for the therapeutic process,” exploring how neurobiological knowledge can deepen attunement, refine presence, and transform clinical practice.

The workshop offered a space for profound experiential work, where therapists were able to connect with their own internal processes, expanding their capacity to perceive, accompany, and care for the subtle movements that emerge in the therapeutic setting.
The sharing of experiences, questions, discoveries, and reflections created an atmosphere of trust and mutual learning, enriched by the diversity of participants coming from various regions: São Paulo, Presidente Prudente, Rio de Janeiro, Natal, Salvador, and Londrina.

It was an opportunity to reconnect with the essence of therapeutic work, where body, emotion, and relationship meet to open space for transformation.
We also warmly thank those who provided translation and facilitated communication throughout the event: Carolina, Rosemary, and Henrique.

Gifts of love
by David Boadella

Love is the strongest
gift we have, lasting longer
than life.
Love is a source of health, when
we need to strengthen our immune system.
Love reminds you to take enough care
of yourself, and repair
any weakness.
It needs you to delegate
as much as possible
so you can create
beauty on your path
and remember to laugh
and smile, even when you find
that some events are unkind.
Love says: keep your thumbs up each day
even when troubles come your way.
We need courage and confidence
to support our resistance
to illness.
Again and again love nourishes us
at the roots of our seeing
from the depths of our being.
Love is the brightness of the heart
which shines beyond whatever is dark.
Our destiny opens the gate
to everything that is stronger than fate.
So we need to remember that the breath
of our soul lies deeper than death.
Each of us is a shining star
sending our light out, near and far.
You help me, I help you
to stay true
to our vital source
as the deepest resource
we have found
to build our inner ground.

MITOCHONDRIA AS PORTALS
Recent research found that sound vibrations change the shape, behavior and activity of mitochondria.
Mitochondria are small organelles within almost every cell in the body that generate cellular energy.
But mitochondria are so much more than the powerhouses of the cell.
They communicate with light, entangled reactive species, build liquid crystalline water and are hubs of frequency communication.
Waves of information in vibrations hold energy.
Life is powered by light, sound and frequency.
We are no exception.
Comment OPTIMIZE and I'll message you instant access to my Unlocking Your Quantum Biology course with 6 modules, 21 practical tips and 2 deep dives into fascia, mitochondria and consciousness when you pre-order my upcoming book Optimize.

On November 14th, 15th, and 16th, Liane Zink — Senior Trainer in Biosynthesis, together with assistant Elaine Gloeden, led a deeply inspiring workshop at the School of Biosynthesis in Argentina, directed by Gaston Rigo.

Over the course of these three days, participants immersed themselves in the theme “Connection, Contact, and Context in Biosynthesis”, exploring in practice how the body, emotions, and relational fields intertwine in the therapeutic process.

It was a rich and meaningful experience, filled with embodied exercises, sensitive exchanges, and profound learning opportunities that expanded the understanding of somatic work. A truly valuable moment of both personal and professional growth for everyone who took part.
