 Body Psychotherapy seeks to return humans home by repairing deep fracturing between the living body and its virtual image, consequently reconnecting sense to sensation. The eclipsing of the body is primarily caused by a detachment from our sensations, which are the solid foundation needed for the construction of our emotions. Sensations allow the individual to feel alive, to be in the here and now and to feel completely unique: a kind of self-evident truth. Trauma research shows just how important it is to work towards recovering the sensorial flux, in order to replace and integrate the memories that trauma has excluded from the individual’s awareness and its personal coherence. The EABP Congress in Bologna will explore this “eclipsing of the body” from various perspectives: phenomenological, neurophysiological, anthropological and psychodynamic. It will underscore the particular resources of Body Psychotherapy, comparing it with other therapeutic approaches.

Discussion Panels – Pre-Congress Workshops – Congress Workshops – Symposia

Workshops will have experiential elements linking directly to the themes of the congress – sense and sensations, perceptions, fullness of experiencing in Body Psychotherapy.
