Many in the Western world have suffered under the prevalent concept of mind-body dualism. Separation of the soul from body in people’s conception of self leads to a host of health problems, emotional and physical alike. In response to this societal problem, forward-thinking professionals embrace a new concept of Bodymind. This approach allows for a respect of the person as a whole, and the addressing of problems on the somatic level.
“You can see their eyes light up. You just have to find that one little thing, that one little opening, and then you can work on from there. …open that door to the relationship.”
