More than any other modality, Bioenergetics explores the inseparable link between the body and the mind. From a Bioenergetic point of view, the energetic processes of the body determine what goes on in the mind just as they determine what goes on in the body.
Consider this...
During our development, growth can get interrupted. That interruption creates pathology and/or dysfunctional behavior. If you don’t address where that interruption is stored in the body it will remain stuck there. Bioenergetics will show you how to unlock the body to return clients to better functioning.
The effect is not just stuck in the brain as a way of thinking, it is also held in the body.
How Bioenergetics Helps Clients
Bioenergetics is not just an overlay of the body onto a talk therapy system. It’s a psychodynamic psychotherapy incorporating the body.
Clients can get "stuck" in talk therapy. They need interventions that go beyond talking to address the roots of their unhappiness. Bioenergetics provides tools to integrate verbal and nonverbal expression, and make the unconscious conscious.
How Bioenergetics Helps Therapists
Bioenergetics doesn’t just help clients.
Bioenergetics recognizes that two bodies are involved in the therapeutic process: the client and the therapist, collaboratively working in the process of deep change.
You will develop a new lens for both observing and treating clients, and for using your own body awareness to guide you in understanding and treating your clients.
If you find yourself feeling inadequate instead of feeling present in the room, Bioenergetics will give you tools to ground and center yourself before and during sessions. We will also teach you tools to help clients be more grounded and less anxious.

Testimonials
Bioenergetic therapy is not a technique or strategy. It is a way of understanding human experience as emanating from the body-in-the-world and informs everything we do in session. The tools of this therapy are powerful because they start with you, the therapist, and your relationship with yourself and your experiences. Bioenergetic training will help you discover your strengths and support you to develop more of them.

The bioenergetic training program was a game changer for how I practice and a life changer for me personally. The depth and complexity of human development and trauma experience which was explored and taught in this program has set me apart from colleagues…and because the program has such a strong experiential component, I have grown and developed as a person in a way that I have deep comfort, confidence, and peace with myself as a therapist.
- Ann C., Michigan
The bioenergetic training program became one of the richest experiences of my life. I grew as a person as I came to understand, and to accept, how my childhood shaped my development and the adult I’ve become. The program included an informative didactic component; however, its richness came from empirical, body-based learning with my peers. The sharing of feelings, stories, tears, and laughs built a sense of community that I had rarely experienced before.
- Dan B, New Brunswick, CA
I have worked with many somatic approaches in my career. All have been extremely useful. However, Bioenergetics was my first love, the meeting that caused me to fall in love with my body. As a therapist I integrate Bioenergetics with Somatic Experiencing, Organic Intelligence, Internal Family Systems and other modalities. I can trust the work to go where it needs to…It leaves me unafraid of intensity, even as I encourage ease and containment in the work.
- ML, Bioenergetic Therapist
Bioenergetic Analysis is the only somatic psychotherapy that incorporates relational and analytic concepts into its practice. This Course is a rare opportunity to learn from three advanced and sophisticated practitioners.
