The Physicality of Relationship and Self-relationship
Abstract
Traumatic experiences throw the persons involved, back into an automatic behavioural pattern. The concept of somatising is often understood in a one-sided manner.
The goal of psychotherapy is the transition from action to conceptualization. The medium of communication is however always that of inter-physicality. This applies to both the patient and the therapist. A complementary therapy path should always be based on a physical/corporal understanding: physical/corporal - psychotherapeutic approach means giving autonomous behavioural impulses and implicit memories a directed self-perception or helping perceptual awareness.
Based on the principle of dialectical change, neural-muscular trauma therapy (NMTT) allows the organism’s somatic tensions and impulses to be regulated again. Changes in the physicality can produce a clear improvement in the psychotherapy method and general setting.
Keywords: inter-corporeality, body therapy, Myoreflex therapy, neuro-muscular trauma therapy, phenomenology, dialectical change
