ABSTRACT
Perhaps it has never been so vital as it is today to reclaim the subjective body, the ‘body experienced from within’ (Hanna 1975), from the overobjectification of modern culture. Embodied practice in psychotherapy offers a way to support clients to re-inhabit their bodies in a meaningful way, when that connection has been lost or never fully experienced. For the body psychotherapist this is a fundamental premise; the subjective experience of embodiment, the therapist’s own and the client’s, is a source of immediate, extensive, and subtly nuanced information about the client and the clienttherapist relationship.
