Looking at the depth of this lake led me to ponder the nature of Biodynamic therapy and how it is different to other modalities.
I notice more and more that the world we live in is teaching us to look for and expect an ‘instant fix’ when often what is needed is time and space. Biodynamic therapy does just that providing a holding presence and an embodied experience.
Catharsis is all very well. Acting out or expressing what has not been said/allowed can feel exciting and novel but this is not enough to reorganise the psyche and the nervous system.
Without a holding presence and an ability to stay in the body(embodied) these cathartic expressions can become familiar and repetitive and we can get stuck in the same cycles of anger, grief and shame.
Being able to stay with the feelings and hold them rather than collapsing or trying to get rid of them allows them to be integrated. That is when deep embodied changes occur.
The integration is the key.
Sending love as always 💕
