Integrated Psychotherapy
The body is the unconscious mind. Memory and experience
are stored in the muscles and tissues becoming chronic holding
patterns, or body armor that keeps us from feeling, being
energetic, healthy and at peace. Left unaddressed these unconscious
responses stored in the body become habitual recreators of
patterns we prefer to move beyond. Talk therapies are extremely
helpful in understanding the source of issues but do little
to change health problems. Body work and energy therapies
do much to relieve tension or make contact with deeper issues;
however, if this material is not processed in to consciousness
the necessary changes cannot be made to make healing permanent.
Integrated psychotherapy work both sides of the body mind
equation at the same time uniting the physical and the spiritual
as an integrated whole. The definition of this work is credited
to Anodea Judith and Selene Vega whose work in developing
integrated psychotherapy over the last 20+ years has established
validity in this approach to working with people.
