Life can be more joyful when old pain is released through energetic movement. In bringing consciousness to your habitual patterns, you can move toward freeing yourself and make lasting changes. And you can achieve this freedom and change through a holistic process involving body, emotion, mind, and spirit: Core Energetics.

In simple terms, Core Energetics is an evolutionary mode of transformation and healing, combining Body-Centered Somatic Psychotherapy and spiritual process, that seeks to release your emotional blocks which are often held in your physical body. Because of its unique focus, Core Energetics is applicable to many problems you may face such as general dissatisfaction, depression, anxiety, low self–esteem, addiction, childhood and/or adult trauma, sexual abuse trauma, or simply searching for more meaning in your life. This method is also applicable to help you manage stress and chronic physical problems, including sexual dysfunction

A typical Core Energetics session consists of a combination of traditional talk therapy to bring consciousness and awareness to your issues as well as various body movements to activate and release energy you are holding in your body. This process evolves in four stages.

Dr. John Pierrakos, M.D., developed Core Energetics four decades ago after studying with William Reich and his subsequent collaboration with one of his fellow students, Alexander Lowen. Click here to view an evolutionary chart showing the historical foundation and underpinnings of Core Energetics.
