ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses how to distinguish between misattunements and mistakes in embodied therapy and how to process and work through them. The author demonstrates how processing these difficult experiences with the patient is, in many ways, no different from processing them in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. To create an important distinction between treatment issues and patient exploitation, the chapter includes a section addressing boundary violations and patient exploitation that should not be part of any therapeutic treatment. The chapter ends with a composite case vignette of how the author dealt with a mistake in his use of embodied therapy in treatment.
