Individual Counselling Using PsychoSomatic Integration PsychoSomatic Integration (PSI TM ) is especially helpful in working with problems that tend to dissociate mind from body (e.g., eating and body image problems, anxiety, sleep disturbances, physical symptoms, etc.) PSI enables you to re-embody yourself, identify and establish personal boundaries, match the right “feed to the right need”, and frees up energy entangled in obsessions and compulsions, or drained by body memories and reenactments.
PSI is an overall theory and approach developed by Judy Lightstone. It incorporates Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and bodily mindfulness, attachment repair, ego state work, derivatives of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) such as Lifespan Integration and the DNMS (Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy), all based on a foundation of feminist object relations. These approaches to mind and body healing are integrated to address the whole person. Individual sessions are charged at $135 per 50 minute session GST inclusive. Longer sessions are pro-rated accordingly. For information on individual therapy specifically for Eating and Body Image Issues, click here
