Description
Description:
Patients come to therapy because they have problems. These problems range from difficulties in working, in social and sexual relationships and in functioning. Symptoms may be depression, anxiety and fear, or a general sense that life has no meaning. In all cases it can be seen that the body is emotionally crippled by chronic muscular tensions which limit the person's energy and decreases his vitality. In this workshop Lowen explains how one recognizes these tensions and how they can be released.
Educational Objectives:
- To name three areas of chronic muscular tensions and their inhibiting effect on the person.
- To describe three exercises to reduce these muscular tensions.
