What is Hakomi?
Hakomi theory revolves around the concept that the body serves as a window to unconscious psychological material.
Trained practitioners in Hakomi therapy guide individuals to explore and identify somatic indicators—physical sensations, gestures, and postures—that reveal unconscious beliefs. By bringing these indicators into conscious awareness, the therapy facilitates a process of change, allowing individuals to understand, confront, and transform deeply rooted patterns or beliefs that may be influencing their thoughts and behaviors. Hakomi thus recognises the intricate connection between the body and the mind, using the body as a valuable tool for self-discovery and personal growth.
Hakomi is grounded in mindfulness and loving presence.
What a typical session looks like
In a typical session, anticipate being gently guided into a profound state of mindfulness, where you will become keenly aware of bodily sensations and movements, recognizing them as potential expressions of the unconscious. The session may encompass mindfulness meditation, inviting a deliberate slowing down, or exploring movement with heightened awareness. There might also be an exploration of how specific words or statements resonate within the unconscious, creating a space for introspection and deeper understanding. Through these carefully guided experiences, the session aims to facilitate self-discovery and insight into the subtle nuances of your inner world.
