Abstract

Background

This paper examines cognitive and body-based therapies through the lens of embodiment, framing treatments as constructed experiences shaped by individuals' subjective and intersubjective lived experiences. Embodiment is considered to have restorative qualities that have the potential to improve psychotherapy’s success. We address some of the limitations associated with traditional brain-based reductionist approaches and treatments in clinical psychotherapy. An argument is made for the integration of an embodied approach, empowering clinicians and researchers to evaluate and integrate embodied therapeutic processes leading to successful treatment outcomes.

Methods

This integrative review provides evidence-based practice initiatives and findings from a range of embodied research as it applies to body-based techniques in psychotherapy. It gathers and synthesizes both empirical and theoretical evidence relevant to impact the overall success of psychotherapeutic interventions. Data collection involved keyword searches of electronic databases, including PsycINFO, NCBI, PubMED, Frontiers, MEDLINE, EBM Reviews, and Google Scholar.

Results

We present an array of cognitive and body-based methodologies that can be employed to enhance embodied and enactive therapeutic practices, offering a fresh and promising perspective on psychotherapy. Analyses provide insights into current body-based therapeutic applications, highlighting how a deeper understanding of recent advances in neuroscience can enrich both therapists’ and clients’ meta-awareness of mind–body-environment connections on mental health.

Conclusions

We conclude that psychotherapy can benefit from the transformative process that occurs when individuals gain insights, skills, and self-awareness through embodied therapeutic experiences. In the context of embodied psychotherapy, learning to self-heal extends beyond the acquisition of information; it involves a deeper understanding of the connection between one’s body, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and the interconnectedness of these elements within the environment/context. Through this process, along with the therapist, clients acquire valuable insights into the root causes of challenges, develop coping strategies, and enhance emotional regulation. The learning extends to practical skills for managing stress, improving communication, and fostering healthier relationships. Embodiment in psychotherapy encourages a form of experiential learning, where individuals actively engage with and reflect upon their internal and external world.
Voetnoten
1
Bandura (1977) and some of the later behavioral therapies had a more complex relationship with the mind and body, such that they emphasized holistic approaches to therapy, including music therapy, rhythm therapy, imitation, especially for children with autism spectrum disorder (see Leitan & Murphy, 2014).

Traditional “in the head” approaches have been criticized for the following reasons: (1) Neglect of body and emotions; (2) Overemphasis on individualistic models, neglecting the impact of social and cultural contexts on mental health; (3) Limited effectiveness for trauma and complex issues; and (4) Potential for over-intellectualization and emotional disconnection, leading to a hinderance in processing and healing (Pietrzak et al., 2018).

Many fields, including cognitive psychology, sociology, anthropology, and neuroscience (Csordas, 1993; Damasio, 1999; Ignatow, 2007; Lakoff & Johnson, 2008; Varela et al., 2017), recognize embodied experience as a necessity for learning, emotional well-being, healing, and social interaction. Embodiment recognizes that sensory inputs and motor outputs are integral to cognitive processes (Payne & Brooks, 2019).

De Jaegher and Di Paulo (2007) refer to this as ‘participatory sense-making’, where therapeutic interactions are seen as intersubjective processes.
