How Can Body Psychotherapy Help?
Any difficulties that you may have will show physically as well as in how you feel and are thinking. Body psychotherapy (Somatic Psychotherapy) includes talking, but with the inclusion of paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you. Most difficulties in relationships and personal problems can be helped by body psychotherapy. This includes stress, which is often experienced as irritability, weepiness, aches and pains, sleeplessness, exhaustion and lack of interest in life. Body psychotherapy can also be helpful for depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, loss (of a loved one, meaning and direction in life, spiritual connection), long term illness, lack of confidence, intimacy issues, unstable relationships, blocks to creativity and fuller enjoyment of life.
Body psychotherapy is an inclusive term and, in recent times, has become associated with working with trauma. There are particular forms of body psychotherapy, which specialise in this, e.g. Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine), but in the UK working with trauma is part of any body psychotherapy training. However, body psychotherapy is much more than working with trauma. It focusses on what it is to feel fully alive and being joyful about life and what is stopping that.
