About BodyTalk

BodyTalk techniques provide insights into the areas of your body that need attention. What might seem like an obvious problem to you is not necessarily the one your body wants to address first.  BodyTalk respects the body’s needs and determines your priorities for healing. Then with the use of a variety of non-invasive techniques, BodyTalkers refocus your body’s natural healing response.

Introductory Course with Extensive Text and Many Videos

Fundamentally BodyTalk

The general approach to modern health care is undergoing a radical change. There is a paradigm shift afoot in our understanding of dis-ease and how and why it manifests in the human living system. The body has an innate ability to heal itself; however, this ability is hindered by many factors such as physical, emotional, mental, biochemical, and environmental stressors. The BodyTalk System operates out of this new scientific understanding; blending quantum physics with ancient philosophical knowledge to assist the body in remembering how to heal itself.

This introductory course is free and publicly available.  However, the sign-up process involves several steps.  Feel free to request support by emailing:  cincinnaticovidcare@gmail.com

The Body Keeps the Score

The Body Keeps the Score is the inspiring story of how a group of therapists and scientists— together with their courageous and memorable patients—has struggled to integrate recent advances in brain science, attachment research, and body awareness into treatments that can free trauma survivors from the tyranny of the past. These new paths to recovery activate the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to rewire disturbed functioning and rebuild step by step the ability to “know what you know and feel what you feel.”

Bessel van der Kolk Blogs

Bessel van der Kolk MD spends his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults.
