The Bodynamic Institute USA, is a non-profit educational and training organization dedicated to the study and teaching of Somatic Developmental Psychology. We integrate verbal techniques with an in-depth understanding of psychological and somatic development. We teach body-centered interventions that help people recover from early developmental, attachment, and traumatic disruptions.

In Bodynamics we see attachment and development as a process of balance between the interpersonal (Mutual Connection) and the personal (dignity). Our research has shown that there are age-appropriate themes around which this balance is enacted.

Since the themes of Mutual Connection and dignity are also basic to our work with trauma, our perspective lies at the intersection of attachment, trauma, and developmental work.

We work with a specificity that includes the correlation of individual muscles with each developmental stage, and with other resources such as centering, grounding, boundaries and limit setting, etc. The work focuses on personal and social development, and can include the spiritual dimension of life.

This developmental approach emphasizes transforming old and persistent patterns through the training and activation of motor and psychological resources. Bodynamic Analysis also recognizes the effects of trauma on the body, and has developed a unique and effective way of undoing frozen traumatic patterns.
