Body psychotherapy is the branch of psychotherapy, which through corporal techniques of awareness, expression and body-mind integration, helps your body express what your mouth does not dare to express.

According to various authors, everything that happens in the body has happened first in the mind. Between the body "soma" and the mind "psyche" there is a functional unit, which is reflected in the totality of the human being as a person. There is no hierarchical relationship between the mind and the body, between psyche and soma.

It can be summarized by saying that YOUR BODY REVEALS YOUR HISTORY.

The parents of this psychotherapy are:
• Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), doctor, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, disciple of Sigmund Freud.
• Alexander Lowen (1910-2008), doctor and psychotherapist who created the Bioenergetic Analysis.
