Mark,

 

My understanding of bioenergetics is physical

exercises that release energy blocks in your body.

Alexander Lowen has written a number books on this

form of BodyMind therapy, including one titled

" Bioenergetics. " Of course, there are other forms of

mind-body therapy and also " spinoffs " . I am familiar

with Core Energetics founded by John Pierrakos from

seeing a therapy trained in this method. I can't make

any promises, but this type of therapy could help you.

 

 

I found a good intro paragraph for people new to this

form of therapy at:

http://www.karinya.com/bodywk2.htm :

 

" Bioenergetics and Core Energetics includes body

-oriented psychotherapy, an off-shoot of traditional

psychotherapy, is based on the belief that a body

" armors " itself against painful and uncomfortable

experiences, thus, preventing free expression and

causing chronic muscular tension. This approach

incorporates deep breathing, talk therapy,

bioenergetic exercises and massage. The Core

Energetics is added for a more spiritual aspect, the

inner or higher self leading to a deeper knowledge

through empowerment, according to practitioners. "

There is an interesting interview with Ken Dychtwald

(author of " BodyMind " ) called " A Field Guide to Body

Work " at:

and another interesting article called " Listening to

the Body " :
