Atlantic Canada Society For Bioenergetic Analysis
Has your physician thoroughly checked out your symptoms and found no medical explanation? Are you suffering from an illness which is caused by or aggravated by stress? Do you experience chronically tight, sore muscles? Sexual dysfunction? Other stress-related symptoms such as grinding your teeth or having difficulty breathing? You could benefit from Bioenergetic therapy.
Are you depressed? Anxious? Are you chronically sad, angry, resentful, confused or fearful? Do you have difficulty experiencing a sense of belonging? Are you unable to cry deeply and/or laugh freely? Are you unable to say "no" when you need to? Are you currently in crisis? Needing to work with grief or loss? Do you lack pleasure and joy in your life? You could benefit from Bioenergetic therapy.
Over the years, we have found that Bioenergetic therapy has
a unique appeal to professional psychotherapists, whether
or not they practice mind-body therapy with their own clients!
As a personal therapy for professional therapists,
bioenergetics offers an opportunity to explore on a body level,
issues that verbal therapy may not have reached or resolved.
The bioenergetic therapist possesses in their use of body-related
techniques, a second language with which to communicate with their
clients. This second language often speaks to preverbal experiences
that haven't been reached by traditional verbal therapies.
When therapists deal effectively with these personal issues in
therapy, they are better equipped to identify and work with
these issues with their clients.
Personal bioenergetic therapy prepares the therapist to move
into deeper clinical work, to understand how their own issues
(countertransference) interact with the client and to more clearly
identify and use the client's transference as a tool rather than
a resistance. The increased ability to work with deeper clinical
issues is a benefit of completing one's own therapy.
