Biodynamic osteopathy and trauma: a different somatic approach
Why does the body store trauma?
Unresolved trauma is inscribed in the body because the nervous system, overwhelmed, could not process the emotion. This memory remains frozen in our tissues. Biodynamic cranial osteopathy accesses these memories. Cranial touch facilitates contact with the unconscious, allowing the body to express and release the trauma.
How does somatic work unfold?
In this work, the encounter with what our body holds will allow us to express the emotion that was repressed at key moments of our past, to reprocess memories, to purge the trauma, and to allow our nervous system to lastingly regulate itself.
The unresolved rests on a fundamental premise: allowing the past to manifest in the present, guided by biodynamic touch, in order to bring it into the light of adult consciousness, to enrich it with a resolution, or at the very least, with a capacity to act where there had been none. The trauma is then not erased, but integrated and transformed.
Biodynamic Breathwork Therapy (BBT) by Pascal Anselin
It is the combination of biodynamic osteopathic touch and awareness of emotional resistances with holotropic breathing. BBT has its roots in the work of Stanislas Grof, psychiatrist and pioneering researcher of non-ordinary states of consciousness through holotropic breathing — a term that literally means “movement toward wholeness”.
Augmented breathing makes it possible to reach places of consciousness otherwise inaccessible, such as pre-verbal memories (before the acquisition of language), our birth, the transgenerational… and many others. Through the integration of traumatic fragments, the experience of this wholeness becomes possible.
Who is this approach for?
This work is adapted to anyone wishing to deepen their personal development and meet the source of certain disorders (anxiety, relational blockages, chronic stress, physical symptoms that do not find their solutions through classical care). Depending on the issue and intention, this work often includes follow-up over several months, with approximately one session per month.
