What ist Yoga-Psychotherapy YoPT®?

Yoga Psychotherapy YoPT® is a new body psychotherapy which integrates body work for stabilization and trauma confrontation in a safe way including work with charge and energy (to regulate the ANS), body work with ego-state, mindfulness, sensomotoric therapy, SE and  trauma-therapy.

YoPT®  integrates the body techniques with modern psychotherapy research (like the Polyvagal theory,) for overcoming stress, trauma and relational wounds of adults or children.

YoPT® is recognized from the FSP (Federation of Swiss Psychologist & Psychotherapist).

 

When can YoPT® be employed?

  • YoPT® has a calming effect on anxiety disorders
  • YoPT® has an activating effect on depression
  • YoPT® builds a whole-body resource that reaches the mind through the body and creates a new sense of self.
  • The integration of body and mind leads to self-regulation and in adults self-awareness and self-compassion, what is the precondition to transform shadow parts, defensive structures and trauma symptoms.
  • For children we create the condition to work with difficult relations and trauma, by stabilizing first the whole body mind system.
  • YoPT® uses the targeted relaxation of the ventral vagus, the mirror neuronal working method, and spirituality to deepen resources and prepare trauma confrontation.

How is the YoPT®-Training structured?

The training in body psychotherapy YoPT® is modular and building up in three modules (which include several daylong workshops).

PART ONE is dedicated to building resources and creating a state of resilience and strenght to confront the difficult emotions and memories by working with different body-techniques like movement, breath, gestures, body-positions.

PART TWO is dedicated to emotional stabilization by learning how to regulate those difficult emotions like fear, anger, rage, panic using the techniques of Part One, but now with focus on the actual emotios in the body.

PART THREE is dedicated to trauma-confrontation in a save way, using the stabilizations of Part One and Two. We learn new techniques like DBR, TRE and BMDR to process the trauma in “dual consciousness” (like EMDR), but including the whole body in a comprehensive way.
