HAKOMI MINDFUL SOMATIC THERAPY

Hakomi, developed by Ron Kurtz in 1970s, is an experiential, somatic psychotherapy method based on mindfulness, nonviolence, unity, organicity and mind-body integration.

 

Hakomi aims to change core material, such as images, beliefs, memories, neuronal patterns and emotions.

 

Its principles are influenced by Buddhism and Taoism.

​

Hakomi takes elements from general system theory, as well as a variety of body-centred therapies, such as Gestalt, Psychomotor, Feldenkrais, Focusing, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Neurolinguistic Programming and more. 

​

Body sensations and emotions are mindfully explored and felt experiences provided. Essential for the method is the therapist's attitude of loving presence.
