What Experts Say

“Psychomotor therapy does not explain or interpret the past. Instead, it allows you to feel what you felt back then, to visualize what you saw, and to say what you could not say when it actually happened. It’s as if you could go back into the movie of your life and rewrite the crucial scenes.”

Bessel van der Kolk, MD  

The Body Keeps the Score; Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma 

“Experiential processing creates an opportunity to do and say in the “here and now” what we could not do and say when it was too threatening or dangerous, and allows for a release of the feeling held on both the psychic and the cellular or body levels. We regain our autonomy and power by finally giving back the internalized pain. We can release the voiceless victim that lives within by allowing it to speak.”

The Drama Within: Psychodrama and Experiential Therapy

“Sometimes the biggest impetus to healing can come from jump-starting the immune system with a burst of long- suppressed anger. The key is to express it and then let it go so that it doesn’t fester, or build, or escalate out of control.”

“The truth is that by letting the tears flow, you are letting out what hurts while making more room in your heart for positive thoughts and feelings. Expressing your pain is actually a good way to make it stop.”
