Body-oriented psychotherapy

Living today in these realities of war, we must understand that being under the constant influence of psychological factors: stress, tension, unlived emotions can suffer the human body.

A “clamped” psycho-emotional state leaves its mark on the occurrence and subsequent dynamics of physical diseases.

The human body reacts to any stress in two phases:

1. Reaction phase – depending on the degree of danger “Fight or run!” or the reaction of freezing;
2. Recovery phase – rest and accumulation of resources.

Thanks to the second signal system, a person gets stuck in the first phase of the reaction, even when the stressful situation has already passed, because he can repeat and relive this situation an unlimited number of times with the help of language and imagination.

If the recovery phase did not take place, then the next step is:

1. Manifestation of negative sthenic emotions – anger, irritation, aggression
2. They are replaced by asthenic negative emotions – despair, sadness, grief;
3. Failure of adaptation, the formation of a steady state of the brain, during which the reaction preceding the failure becomes habitual.

At this stage, tension from the nervous system is transferred to the body in the form of muscle tension in a certain zone, disruption of blood circulation and innervation in this zone and, as a result, disruption of tissue nutrition.

In the exercises of body-oriented psychotherapy, we go from the opposite! We lead the body through different phases of relaxation. By qualitatively relaxing the body, we relieve the nervous system and psyche.

Body-oriented psychotherapy is a simple and effective way to rid your body of stress!
