Neuro-Vegetative Therapy

Neuro-Vegetative Therapy

•

This method has nothing to do with vegetarianism… :). The foundations of Neuro-Vegetative Therapy (NVT) were laid by Wilhelm Reich. The method is based on Reich’s developed character analysis (supplementing Freud’s psychoanalysis), as well as on freeing the pathways of life energy (orgone) flow by eliminating bodily tensions — muscular blocks. This method is well suited for cases where there are too many or — quite the opposite — too few words, because work with psychic material can also take place without going through consciousness — by working purely with the body. I studied this method from January 2003 to 2007 under teachers from France: Christine Zurcher and Jacques Vaissac.
