Appropriately attending to trauma wounds requires a deep understanding of the psychophysical and relational mechanisms involved in traumatization processes, and a special emphasis towards the therapeutic relationship in the present experience,

 

Somatic approaches such as the Hakomi method, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experience and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy offer powerful tools to directly, carefully and efficiently address all those aspects related to traumatic memory, which is primarily non-verbal. 

 

These techniques aim to process the activation levels of the autonomic nervous system, as well as to modify the tissue of thoughts, images, emotions and sensations related to traumatic or painful events or situations, so that new associations can be created.     

​

We adopt the principles of Hakomi as the essence of our work on the integration of trauma and bond wounds.  These are::  non-violence, mindfulness, body-mind holism, unity, and organicity.
