what is Hakomi?

Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology is a mindfulness, somatic and experience-based approach to change. The Hakomi Method was developed by therapist and author, Ron Kurtz, who drew his model for healing from an enormous range of influences: Buddhism and Taoism, physics, and various body-centered therapies it synthesized a pioneering approach to somatic psychotherapy, combining mindfulness, gentleness and experiential explorations of behavior. 

Hakomi’s integration of mindfulness and somatics creates an experiential route to the precise psychological core material at the root of clients’ unwanted psychological patterns and behavior. This deepens therapy beyond insight and words, allowing us to access the unconscious “blueprints” and early experiences that invisibly guide our lives, relationships, and self-perceptions.

Therapy is first about discovering. It’s about who you are and about what your deepest emotional attitudes are. It’s not just about who you think you are. It’s not opinion. It’s not something you can know with the intellect. It’s about who you are in the very heart of yourself. That’s the flavor of psychotherapy, discovering yourself, discovering your real attitudes toward the most important pieces of your life.
