Body-Oriented Techniques in Schema Therapy

Body-Oriented Techniques in Schema Therapy

Systematically involving the body in schematherapy - somatic sensations, posture, gestures and facial expressions - can prove to be a huge benefit to the therapeutic process. In order to put this into practice, the book presents body therapy techniques which are easy to learn and easy to integrate in a modular way. This is mainly based on ‘Alba Emoting’, a method which is aimed at enhancing how emotions are perceived and how to regulate them. After some introductory chapters on body psychotherapy, the book shows, in a practical and clearly structured way, when and where particular interventions can be used during the course of therapy, which schema/mode is activated and what the goals are. Photos of the critical body postures and exercises help with implementing the therapy in practice.
