An approach that examines all the aspects of the self, is obviously a more complete way of working, whether the issues we deal with affect us bodily or emotionally. Most people have a complex relationship with their body and a lot consider it as disconnected from the Self.

They pay little or no attention to their body, seeing it as just a “vehicle” for living. They often acquire a more conscious relationship with their body only when they get sick.
A psychotherapeutic approach which helps us deepen our awareness in our bodily experience and observe the ways in which we express ourselves through movement and gestures can offer a great opportunity for reconnection.
Working with the body allows for greater variety of expression through movement/touch and greater awareness of the way in which the body reveals a truth that is beyond the constrictions of language. The body has an innate wisdom which provides the opportunity for a more harmonious coexistence with ourselves and others, if we can use it as a guide for well-being.
