Integrating the new findings of neuroscience in the therapeutic process is nowadays essencial to the clinical practice. The most recent researches teach us that chronic stress and traumatic experiences impact the functioning of the brain, leading to several symptoms such as high levels of anxiety, sleep disorders, difficulty in concentrating, irritability, panic attacks and others.

On the other hand, we possess innate health-recovery mechanisms that can regulate and neutralize the high levels of activation associated with unresolved defensive behaviours and survival responses. Working with the natural neurobiological mechanisms that the body uses to reprocess and discharge physical and emotional tension allows for the reestablishment of balance (homeostasis) and the relief of symptoms.​

Professor emeritus Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder and former director of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, helped to bring the practice of mindfulness meditation into mainstream medicine and demonstrated that practicing mindfulness can bring improvements in both physical and psychological symptoms as well as positive changes in health, attitudes, and behaviors.

Neuro-scientific researches led by Oxford University show:

• Beneficial changes in brain areas associated with decision making, attention and empathy.

• Mindfulness practice strengthens areas of the brain connected to the regulation of emotions, and it improves peoples` focus and attention.

• Mindfulness practice improves circulation and prevents high blood pressure, reducing the risk and severity of cardiovascular diseases.

Every group functions as a living organism that self-regulates in order to survive through time. The systemic approach aims at listening and receiving the psychic suffering or emotional difficulties of a person from a perspective that is broad enough to include the context(s) of the relational networks to which that person belongs (family, work, social life etc...). On one hand, the systemic approach tries to identify and nourish the healthy ties, strengthening the feeling of belonging to an affective web of support, so crucial to the physical and mental health of the individual. On the other hand, it brings to light dysfunctional relational dynamics that have strong, sometimes damaging influence in life. Subtil interventions in the "systemic order" can produce deep transformative effects.

When we look at the body, we can see the state of its vitality and if there are blockages or tensions limiting the pulsation and circulation of the vital energy. The body reveals its history, wounds and distortions, as well as its strength and potentials. A trained eye can compare what we see in the body with the story the person tells and the symptoms and complaints the person presents. We can then have a broader understanding of the challenges and the resources that are available. By working with the body, the breathing movement and voice we can, in a gentle and non-invasive way, stimulate the vitality and spontaneous expressivity of the body and soul. Simultaneously, we strengthen resources that allow for self-regulation, empowering the person to feel capable of dealing with the releasing of tension, emotions and memories, in a deep and integrating way.
