Body therapies possess healing potential because they connect patients with their earliest experiences. The practical textbook on Concentrative Movement Therapy introduces the fundamentals of the method and demonstrates its concrete application through numerous examples. Concentrative Movement Therapy (CMT) is used in both group and individual psychotherapy. It is based on the assumption of a body memory that stores early, pre-verbal experiences and leaves physical traces in the form of illnesses in cases of difficult-to-process or traumatic experiences. Through conscious body awareness in the here and now, early experiences can become accessible again, and illness symptoms can be positively influenced. Recent findings in brain research have impressively confirmed these connections.
