  • Descrição: [...]Levine and other body therapists have worked hard for decades to overcome skepticism about the value of somatic methods that began long ago in reaction to Wilhelm Reich, a one-time deputy director of Freud's outpatient clinic, who emphasized Freud's view of unconscious drives and brought his own highly controversial approach to engaging the body in the therapy room. [...]bioenergetic therapy, which promotes cathartic physical and emotional release through touch and movements like kicking and pounding, was started by two students of his, Alexander Lowen and John Pierrakos, and is still practiced today. A big leap forward for somatic approaches came in the '60s, '70s, and '80s, with the publication of bestselling books like The Relaxation Response by Harvard doctor Herbert Benson, The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook by Kaiser Permanente's Martha Davis, and The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga by Swami Vishnudevananda, all of which touted the benefits of engaging the breath and calming the body. The experience has added another dimension to her work. "Since the training, without being consciously aware of it, I'll often find myself sitting in a similar stance to a client's in sessions-even if it's a big guy with his legs spread-and talking in a similar tone.
