What is BMDR?

Introduction to the comprehensive trauma-technique BMDR®

BMDR® (Body Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

was developed to dissolve trauma using a whole-body technique to overcome states of “Freeze” and/or “Flight/Fight” which occur after heavy shock trauma. This methode is the most comprehensive technique for trauma exposure by including a whole-body approach during trauma confrontation in combination with the results of the polyvagal theory,  the right-left activation of the brain and the technique of hypno-yoga to rewire the trauma images.

What ist Yoga-Psychotherapy YoPT®?

Yoga Psychotherapy YoPT® is a new psychotherapeutic approach which integrates body work, work with charge and energy (ANS), ego-state therapy, meditation and hypno-yoga and BMDR (trauma-therapy) using the different streams of the old and proven yoga traditions into modern psychotherapy.

YoPT® integrates those techniques on the foundation of  the reseaches of psychotherapy and neuropsychology. 

YoPT® uses the yogic “tools” such as breath training, hand postures (mudras) and body positions (asanas) and conveys them mirror-neuronally, which is also a benefit for the therapists – they are also moving, enlivened and inspired!

YoPT® is a psychotherapeutic method that can be learned without first having to any yoga training but builds it up step by step.

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-awareness and self-compassion, the condition we can transform defensive structures, shadow parts, ego-states and old dysfunctional patterns (“inner child work”).
  • YoPT® uses the targeted relaxation of the ventral vagus, the mirror neuronal working method and the healing of early childhood trauma to overcome attachment disorders.
  • YoPT® integrates yogic meditation and spirituality to deepen resources and prepare trauma confrontation.
  • BMDR® is the trauma-technique to confront heavy shock trauma in a save and body based way.
