Understanding our approach - Talk therapy is useful for a client to “understand” his/herself, but not always the key for a person to make a deep internal connection between mind and body as well as hemispheres of the brain. Where talk therapy is limited, Pathways' body-mind therapy offers an alternative to enable a deep internal connection, which can ignite lasting transformation. Body mind therapy is rooted in Gestalt therapy where the present moment is utilized with the intention to help integrate fragmented parts of oneself in order to become more whole.

Accessing Healing Thru Treatment - The intellect can be deceiving. We can trick ourselves into thinking that everything is okay when that is not true beyond the surface. But the body never lies. Beliefs, memories, and emotions are stored in the very cells and tissues of the body. As we look to the body’s wisdom for healing, we access deeper truths.
Treatment methods may include active listening, humor, writing, and reading, the use of art, role-play, and visualization. Breath, movement, yoga, mindfulness, and meditation may also be used.
Pathways Inc. - Body mind therapy is a skillful adjunct to talk therapy and can often help access deeper connections that are beyond the realm of “talk.” Body mind therapy can be beneficial for anyone seeking more balance and inner peace on one’s journey. |
