We all suffer from pain at some time in our lives. Bodymind healing psychotherapy focuses on the felt meaning of the pain rather than on only drugs and technologies. Dr. Mayer developed an integrative style of treating pain that uses mainstream psychotherapy as well as qigong. It integrates breath, movement, posture, sound, touch, and often uses acupuncture points. He incorporates these strategies with a technique called the "river of life."
Learning about the role of our emotions in creating pain provides access to powerful tools that can relieve symptoms.
