Ute Arnold developed the Unergi Method by integrating touch with the
Alexander Technique, talk in the form of Gestalt Therapy, and movement
based on the Feldenkrais Technique.
Based on the belief that emotions and memories are stored in our physical
selves, it follows that our bodies often hold truths our hearts and minds
may not be ready to acknowledge yet. The root causes of symptoms and
illnesses are often early experiences that have long been locked away from
our consciousness. These unexpressed feelings can create energy
blockages. These can manifest as emotional imbalances (such as
depression, anxiety or relationship issues) or in the form of physical
imbalances (such as chronic pain, muscle tension, addiction and disease).
The relationship to our bodies is a metaphor for how we live – giving a
voice to our physical selves allows us to uncover deeper issues in our
lives. Unergi, with its healing touch and talk, invites clients into a dialogue
between the body and the mind to access buried emotions and memories.
Through listening to our bodies, old wounds heal and new insights, inner
peace and deep joy often emerge. By unifying mind, body and spirit, one
can bring balance and a feeling of wholeness — or holiness — into your life.
What does it treat:
Unergi Body Psychotherapy can treat a wide range of mental health issues, including trauma, low self esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles and grief.
