"There is something very special about the analytical experience. It is a unique kind of meeting whose purpose, whether articulated or not, is a holy one, having to do with the meaning of one's life." (Albert Kreinheder)
Bioenergetic Analysis
Bioenergetics was developed by the American Dr. Alexander Lowen, a student of the famous Austrian physician and psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. Both Lowen and Reich believed that insufficiently processed emotions, usually in early childhood, lead to a blockage of mental and emotional development, which manifests itself on the physical level as blockages such as chronic tensions. However, these tensions usually cannot be perceived at all - not only because they are unconscious, but because they are an essential part of the human repression mechanisms that create the individual unconscious in the first place. Maintaining these blockages in order to ward off unwanted insights and feelings ties up a large amount of life energy and consequently leads to restrictions in the way one can cope with life.
As diverse as clients' problems are, at the core it is almost always about unresolved childhood experiences and traumas, physical-energetic blockages, a lack of emotional self-regulation, impaired self-esteem and a limited ability to actively shape one's life and interpersonal relationships.
In a nutshell, all of this can almost always be traced back to a lacking capacity to love others or to love oneself as the result of a lack of loving care in childhood. As adults, we then tend to seek out or recreate environments which resemble the dysfunctions of our family of origin.

“The primary nature of every human being is to be open to life and love. Being guarded, armoured, distrustful and enclosed is second nature in our culture. It is the means we adopt to protect ourselves against being hurt.“
(Dr. Alexander Lowen)
Bodywork activates and invigorates
Feelings that weren't allowed or were too overwhelming at the time at which they occured, are obstructed by the body in the form of chronic muscular tensions or often in the form of other symptoms like pains or chronic diseases. They shape our body image and our mental and emotional being. Through body, analytical, emotional and relational work, Bioenergetic therapy allows for change on a core level. In the safe context of the therapeutic relationship, the healing process can begin.
I am happy to guide you on this sometimes difficult, but rewarding path. If you’re interested, I am looking forward to hear from you and we can arrange a preliminary interview!
