Therapy

A body-oriented approach

​

The Gaia Method is a holistic modality. It is built upon the perception that body, mind and spirit can’t be separated from each other. Therefore, it is more than merely a bodywork technique.

Therapy is often part of the session with a client before, during and after bodywork. The cognitive therapy is combined with bodywork, energy work, touch, sound, movement and breath. You can also say; it is a body-oriented approach into the cognitive material.

Creating an embodied experience

When working therapeutically, we aim to create an embodied experience of the cognitively understood material. To create a bridge between the past and present moment. Offering a different or expanded interpretation or understanding of an event. From there, the story can transform and lose the energetic ties it holds on the client. A different future can be created, no longer carrying unwanted patterns or trauma responses.

Often the therapy consists of reprogramming the mind and body with new skills. For the mind to understand what the body feels - and the other way around. An example of this could be feeling and setting boundaries.
