Bioenergetics - The Therapist's Therapy

Over the years, we have found that Bioenergetic therapy has a unique appeal to professional psychotherapists, whether or not they practice mind-body therapy with their own clients! As a personal therapy for professional therapists, bioenergetics offers an opportunity to explore on a body level, issues that verbal therapy may not have reached or resolved. The bioenergetic therapist possesses in their use of body-related techniques, a second language with which to communicate with their clients. This second language often speaks to preverbal experiences that haven't been reached by traditional verbal therapies. When therapists deal effectively with these personal issues in therapy, they are better equipped to identify and work with these issues with their clients.

Personal bioenergetic therapy prepares the therapist to move into deeper clinical work, to understand how their own issues (countertransference) interact with the client and to more clearly identify and use the client's transference as a tool rather than a resistance. The increased ability to work with deeper clinical issues is a benefit of completing one's own therapy.
