Body Psychotherapy

Body psychotherapy (also known as body-oriented psychotherapy and somatic psychology) is a branch of psychotherapy with origins in the work of Pierre Janet, Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Reich. Body psychotherapy addresses the body and the mind as a whole with emphasis on the reciprocal relationships within body and mind. It includes an awareness of the client's process as manifested in their body, body language, emotional expression, proxemics, psychosomatics, somatic resonance, and sexuality.
