Virginia Satir's Evolving Legacy

Transformative Therapy with a Bodymind Connection
Co-author collaboration: Anastacia Lundholm

Book Description: My chapter in this collaborative book “Bodymind Wisdom in Satir’s Model” describes how I have blended my body-centered personal growth coaching and the whole-person approach of Virginia Satir. The result is a way of working that appreciates all the resources and possibilities available at any given moment, in any person, alongside their goals and challenges. This book is for therapists and helping professionals who want to grow their skills including the wisdom of the body into their work.

Book Excerpt

“We all have embedded body memory from life experiences. Places in our adult bodies which react under stress with strong sensations can be access points. When we are guided in connecting experientially to those parts, we can get clues to the earlier context of those feelings; to our reactions to those feelings at that time, and the intrinsic meanings we made. When this wisdom is accessed, transformation can occur within the person. When a client brings conscious awareness to embodied memory, and then receives wisdom from this resource, they can modify those perceptions, keep them, or decide that they no longer apply. This is integration. Integration can happen when trust exists between client and facilitator, and between the client and their body.”
