You’re watching a scary movie...

You sit there terrified, eyebrows raised, shoulders hunched, belly tight, breath held - until the movie ends and you relax.

But what if the scary movie didn't end? What if you lived these experiences all the time? Your tight belly, hunched shoulders, frightened eyes and shallow breathing would become fixed, as your muscles held the memories of your daily trauma.

In just this way the painful experiences of our past and present - fear, loss, rejection, abandonment, shame and more - are hidden in our minds (the wind) and revealed in our bodies (the sand). In Bioenergetic psychotherapy we talk and work with the body to heal the problems of the mind.
