Early developmental or attachment trauma blunts or dysregulates our emotional capacities. Studied movements are taught to you, and sometimes authentic, spontaneous movements, (or even silence and no movement), allows us to viscerally and physically be in the moment together.  Bioenergetic movements encourage an energetic up-regulation or a deep relaxation called letting-down.

Eventually, experiences of safety in your own skin returns; you feel grounded.  If you are a dancer, meditator, actor, athlete, or yoga practitioner, you may be most attuned to your body's experience of specific holdings or emotional patterns.
