ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a unique attempt to engage in dialogue with other body psychotherapists, in light of their presented clinical vignettes and psychotherapeutic interventions. It offers a short analysis, explaining the therapeutic process through relational and embodied perspectives. The chapter reviews the therapeutic skills unique to body psychotherapy as they manifested in the session. Working as a part of therapeutic team in an inpatient institution poses many challenges to the psychotherapist, as well as allowing for collaboration and liberty of praxis, due to the strong holding potential in the teamwork, and the inpatient frame. The interventions Guy Timor suggested to Tara were accompanied by psychotherapeutic conversation and processing—some during the session and some later; the bodily experience went hand in hand with a therapeutic dialogue, promoting internalisation and integration. Thus, the client could attribute constructive and therapeutic meaning to the bodily interventions.
