Bioenergetic Analysis is an analytical psychotherapy which includes the human body into the therapy. Unconscious expressions are not only- as it is mentioned in psychoanalysis- dreams and fantasies, but the body's vitality, mobility, the breathing pattern, the voice and gestures too.
The bodily manifestation of a person reflects the struggle of life between the person and the surrounding environment in childhood. If the child's expression of emotions is denied, it has to handle to stop this expression. This led to tensions in the muscular system and a decrease of breathing. This manifestaion becomes a rigid pattern, called character structure, which restricts the person's health, vitality and pleasure.
This therapy is based of the fundamental unity of the human bodily and psychic processes. A person can distanciate from their own feelings of deny it to others, the bodily expression shows the truth.
