Approach

Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
IFS: Internal family systemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Somatic experiencingRecommended for those who want to use the mind-body connection to address the effects of trauma and restore natural regulation of the nervous system.

Body-oriented psychotherapy assumes that psychological troubles always have an physiological, organic aspect, i.e. they are embodied. Stressful events that could not be sufficiently processed at the time of the experience leave traces in the body and thus influence our thinking, acting and feeling. This can lead to chronic tension or other physical and mental symptoms. Biodynamic body psychotherapy works on the basis of depth psychology and uses body perception to uncover unconscious mental processes. So it's not just about talking about psychologically troubling topics, but about experiencing, feeling, expressing and understanding them, starting with the body. The careful balance between the expression of feelings, thoughts and the reflection of one's own experience ensures a gradual processing and gentle resolution of stress, tension and pain. A central feature of biodynamics is working with stress-regulating massages.
