Whats the difference between Structural Integration (SI) and Body-Centered Counseling (BCC)/Movement Therapy (MT)?
Well, they each have different intentions and different means and tools for achieving them. Energy is a vibratory phenomenon that comprises the whole universe. When energy in the form of emotions or fluids (blood, lympth, etc.) is moving in our bodies, we feel healthy and alive. When energy is blocked and obstructed we feel disturbed, malaise, and/or disease. My job as a practitioner of BCC/MT is to help my client to explore the nature of the energetic blockage and to reconnect with their energetic flow, i.e., their aliveness. Secondly, SI uses a form of physical manipulation or bodywork that focuses on releasing and balancing the connective tissue. BCC/MT uses verbal dialogue and nonverbal exchanges that identify energy blockages, evoke movement from within the blockage, stimulate self-regulation, and shifts core beliefs.
