Both of these approaches have been incorporated from the aforementioned therapies of Reich, Rolf, and Perls. More unique to Body Energy Therapy is the addition of the therapist’s energy in still another direction. In this latter case, the therapist recognizes that within the total being there exists a force that is expansive and directed toward self-healing equal to that which is obstructing life growth. It is apparent that if a block exists, then it exists in opposition to a flow.

Behind the anger of a clenched jaw, which expresses striking out and hence separation, there exists an equal force that reaches out toward inclusion rather than separation. The therapist is then in a position to feed energy into the force that wants to be included. For example, in group therapy an individual may sit rigid and unyielding outside the circle, only to become pliable, flexible, and joyous when openly invited within.
