The \u201c\u03a4alking Body\u201d in the Couple Relationship: A theoretical \u2013 experiential workshop integrating a Somatic and a Systemic approach<\/h3>\n<\/div>\nA couple is two different people who are united physically, emotionally and spiritually in order to evolve. The choice of a partner and the form of commitment must be based on self- awareness, maturity and responsibility assumption. The sexual relationship is of major importance; however the way is opened through communication. Each member expresses thoughts, ideas and emotions but also sends messages through the language of the body. Armed with their self-esteem they change the rules and put limits in order to create a new life plan.<\/p>\nThe social patterns of the past do not meet the needs the present. The fragmentation of society with continuous twists in the system of values and the hectic rhythms of life in combination with the unresolved issues of the past which become chronic, bring a crisis to the couple who wish to be united, to be loved, but mainly to survive in all the levels of their existence. Yet voices, such as family orders, prohibitions, judgments as well as problems in the paternal family are transferred into the couple\u2019s daily life resulting to their living in two different time frames simultaneously and to inner conflict, to being trapped in a vicious circle of anger and blame, preventing clear dialogue. The couple tries to overcome or to filter these malfunctions, yet the body cannot be censored, it owns memory and it \u201ctalks\u201d in the here and now about its experiences, emotions and reactions which require immediate solution.<\/p>\n
Body Psychotherapy and Couple Counseling, in combination with Family Therapy, help to bring awareness of non-functional behaviors of the past and of the lack of basic needs such as love and acceptance. They offer knowledge and instruction for satisfactory communication and emotional stability. Through physical exercises and techniques they free vital energy. Each member of the couple is strengthened and acquires the ability to share their desires and their needs aiming at their alliance, serenity and joy in the relationship and in life.<\/p>\n
