Psychosomatotherapy (also called “somatotherapy”) has the particularity of integrating the bodily approach to psychoanalysis. It considers the person as a whole, as much on the bodily as on the psychological and emotional level. It is accessible to all and helps solve many psychological and / or physical difficulties.

What is psychosomatotherapy?

Psychosomatotherapy, launched by Richard Meyer in the 1980s, considers the person as a whole, through his body and mind, and especially through the interactions that exist between them. The body is considered as a physical place allowing access to the unconscious and the capacities for change. Speech and touch promote awareness of psychological difficulties, in order to better resolve them. As with most body-psychotherapies, to which psychosomatotherapy belongs, the psychosomatherapist uses different techniques to access body memory: touch, verbal and bodily listening, communication, relaxation, movement, breathing, and verbalization. Many disorders are treated by psychosomatotherapy: anxiety disorders (including phobia and panic attacks) OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorders); depression psychosomatic disorders existential anxieties shyness emotional and traumatic shocks sexual disorders This technique particular helps to become aware of the personal needs, conflicts and frustrations that have left an imprint on body and mind. It helps to free oneself from false beliefs ("I suck", "I can never do it") and to change the way you look at yourself.

Psychosomatotherapy restores the interactions between mind, body, and energy through bodywork and analysis. She combines verbalization with bodily techniques that promote letting go. The search for harmony then allows you to flourish fully in your environment and resolve difficulties. Analytical work on symbols, dreams, repression or slips is offered in association with various tools left to the appreciation of the therapist and the patient: massage or touch relaxation techniques guided dreams guided relaxation breathing la music therapy art therapy and modeling dance, movement Through these techniques, psychosomatotherapy releases emotions and helps the person to reinvest his body. It brings a lot of well-being on a daily basis and helps develop better self-knowledge. It is a great personal development tool that helps projects succeed. It is very effective in improving self-confidence and resolving the origin of discomfort.
