Description
Description:
Since the person is his body, it is possible to read the history of the individual from the pattern of chronic muscular tension in his body. These chronic tensions limit the individual’s ability to respond in a healthy way to the stresses of life. Bioenergetics provides a technique for reducing these tensions.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe how the chronic tensions in a person’s body play a defensive role in the personality.
- To name two physical techniques for releasing chronic jaw tension.
