Abstract

Embodied and relational, vital and reflective, psychotherapists engage in a unique encounter with clients. The psychotherapist and client influence each other moment-to-moment, often without awareness throughout therapy. Interactive regulation operates on the level of body sensations, feelings, imagination,1 thinking and motor activity. This embodied reciprocal and relational engagement is at the heart of the therapeutic process. This relational body–mind perspective is drawn from humanistic psychotherapy, relational body psychotherapy, relational psychoanalysis, findings from infant development research and neuroscience.
