Movement therapy, is it for me?

Movement therapy is based on the idea that the body often remembers what the mind has forgotten to say.

Sometimes an emotion does not arrive as a sentence but as a hesitation, a contraction, a shift in posture, or a desire to move. Through movement, psychotherapy creates a space where the body can participate in the conversation.

Every gesture becomes a doorway. A raised shoulder, a slowing step, or an outstretched arm may reveal stories that words have not yet discovered.

Movement therapy is not about performing; it is about listening to the silent language that lives beneath thought.

When words reach their limits, the body often knows the way forward.

In my experience as a psychotherapist, movement therapy has helped people who are often in their minds (specially highly corporate people, or people with a very demanding professional position) but sometimes children can really benefit from move therapy.

I have had children in my sessions ask me to do it again, because it helps them release tension and exress themselves with the help of movement, guidance and observation.
