Bio-energetics
A client pounding on a cushion is a popular sense of psychotherapy.
Bioenergy includes this aggressive exercise often to bring anger to the surface or to release some of the pressure of excess anger.
... and much much more. Bioenergetics includes both aggressive and more gentle exercises in order to foster the life energy of the emotional body.
Emotions are energy in motion. The body is both physical and emotional, each dimension affecting the other.
Alexander Lowen called this energy in motion in the physical body bioenergy.
The exercises developed by bioenergetics help to identify emotional blocks. Some blocks have to do with survival in our times and also in difficult circumstances.
Bioenergetics encourages gradual change or healing in the form of an improved flow of energy.
All exercises are presented with awareness and sensitivity to the needs of each individual.
