Bioenergetics seeks to release the energy in tense or "blocked"
areas of the body and alleviate chronic stresses and chronic
muscular tensions. Biogenetics therapists study muscular
patterns developed through physical expression and muscular
tension. Patient treatments include exercises and expressions
to help them experience these muscular tensions in addressing
repressed emotions, rather than the normal psychological
therapist techniques.
Bioenergetic
therapists use this muscular healing approach as a way to
understand the personality of the client in terms of the
body and its energetic processes. Often they will discuss
how tension in the body may directly relate to a person's
emotional history and childhood relationships.
