Q: If suppressing emotions helps me to protect myself, why would I
want to open access to my feelings?
A: People often find considerable satisfaction in their life through the
emotional and energetic discharge achieved through the ability to
tolerate feeling and emotion. In addition to accessing more contact and
awareness with your being, therapy explores and addresses with
greater insight any past, present or anticipated distress that might
influence the constriction of emotion. Breathing supports our emotional
experience and controls our range of feeling and expression.
Q: Are breathing exercises done throughout the entire session?
A: Each therapy session is uniquely tailored to suit individual needs
and abilities. Any given session is likely to involve a combination of
breathing exercise and dialogue, while other sessions may involve
exclusively one approach or the other. Clients new to orgone therapy
may benefit from initial dialogue to establish self-awareness in
preparation for the breathing exercises. Through dialogue, we explore
the individual’s life and learning patterns and how they relate to current
circumstances. Of course, breathing exercises are entirely optional in
every session.
Q: Is orgone therapy exclusively for the benefit of accessing emotions?
A: No. Therapy addresses the comprehensive nature of the distress.
Orgone therapy occurs at the intersection of thought, feeling and
action. In treatment, a combination of conventional dialogue and
biophysical exercises are designed to identify and alleviate constriction
of these characteristic patterns and the anxiety and depression that
such constrictions maintain. The goal is to integrate the continuum of
thought, feeling and action, achieving successive degrees of
expansion in one’s experience and being.
