Description
A group of dedicated Therapist's working together to offer the best service and care. Therapies include Psychotherapy, Massage, Herbalist and Cranio Sacral Bio Dynamic Therapy
Biodynamic Psychotherapy is a Life Force Centred Body Psychotherapy. It is a phenomenological approach to the development of human consciousness that integrates Freudian, Reichian, Humanistic and Spiritual psychological theories into its own unique organic model of development. The main aim of biodynamic psychotherapy is to help individuals reconnect with, experience and reinforce their own Primary Personality or Core. The Primary Personality can be defined as this space of being within ourselves that knows, that is connected to our true sense of self and purpose in life. This deeper sense of self leads in turn to a deeper connection with the outer world, with the universe and with the Spiritual in the widest acceptation of the term.
Although there is in Biodynamic Psychology a set of theoretical assumptions explaining its own model (see Theories) the approach is in itself purely phenomenological. This means that what is important in a biodynamic therapeutic relationship is the unfolding process itself. The attention of a Biodynamic Psychotherapist will be first of all to recognise where the clients is in his/her process and development. Then the therapist has to create the appropriate atmosphere and use methods adapted to the level of development of the individual, to where he/she is at in his/her process in general and to what is happening in the actual session itself. The position of a Biodynamic Psychotherapist will always have to adapt and change according the nature of what is happening in a session in relation to the level of connection of the individual with his/her own Primary Personality.
The main tendency of the biodynamic therapist will be to work With the client towards fulfilling the goals of the therapy although it may happen that the therapist will have to act as a "revealer of conflict" when working with defences and negative transference. In any cases the biodynamic psychotherapist should use an "enlightened by the heart" approach to the method used.
The techniques used are diverse. They go from more orthodox verbal approaches, biodynamic gestalt, visualisations and energy work to vegetotherapy and vegetative bodywork (vegetative massages). All are used in an integrated way according to a biodynamic model of development and are adapted to the individual's process and level of development.

facebook.comAfter thirteen happy years in The Body and Mind I am moving my psychotherapy practice to new premises adjoining my house. I will really miss the Body and Mind vibe and would like to thank Donal Turpin and all the other therapists who made it such a great place to work over the years. The Centre is still going strong and stay tuned here for all Body and Mind News.

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes.' It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. -OMD
