Julie Fishman, Healing Arts

I use an approach called Psychomotor Therapy to support clients in their natural growing, meeting their potentials, and feeling a greater sense of wellness and balance.

This method utilizes physical exercises and bodywork in addition to talk and psychoeducation, for a holistic approach to healing. As psychological tension often manifests and is mirrored in our body, the stretches and bodywork relieve this tension as well as build physical awareness that can help to shift our psychological pain. Through the exercises, we can find back our wholeness more directly than through talk alone.

Some common issues this work can help with:

· Feeling safer/more at ease and present in our daily lives

· Having more capacity to let go of thought loops and excessive thinking

· Increasing self-compassion and acceptance

· Communicating more effectively and experiencing improved relationships

· Healing/reducing chronic pain or fatigue

· Feeling more engaged in and excited by life

· Feeling more at home in yourself

Context for Psychomotor:

Human beings are born with many potentials, and like all living things, need care and food in order to grow into these. Many of us got some of this from our parents and from society, but other parts were missing. For human beings this includes a safe nest, or security, from our parents or caregivers where there is a welcoming to meet our experiences, our feelings and ourselves. Due to unnatural rules and restrictions of society, and blind spots from our often well-meaning parents, most of us did not get this in a complete way. Thus, there are some parts of our consciousness and our potentials that were buried, forgotten, and did not get a chance to grow. Psychomotor therapy is a way to find back these parts and feel more whole.

Through this work, you have the opportunity to let go of the parts of your past that are holding you back, find a deeper capacity to be present in the here and now, and from that place create a bright future for yourself.

Please note: Psychomotor Therapy is a unique healing modality, and is not psychotherapy.

About Me:

I have been studying Psychomotor Therapy since 2004, learning from Tim and Jane Heintzelman, who have had a practice in San Rafael, CA since 1991.

I also study with Dr. Niek Brouw M.D. of the Netherlands, who originally developed the model in the early 1970’s.
