The success of traditional counseling depends heavily on clients’ abilities to verbally articulate thoughts and feelings that are in their conscious awareness. Additionally, the effectiveness of verbal therapies hinges, to a large extent, on the therapist’s ability to view the world from the client’s subjective perspective. Thus, most psychotherapeutic approaches used today require cognitive and communication capabilities on the part of both the client and the therapist. Because of this, verbal therapies provide only a narrow window into the client’s phenomenological world. As communication researchers claim, most interaction between humans is nonverbal. As such, using words to express emotions is frequently an inadequate exchange of information. This limited glimpse into the client’s conscious mind often necessitates long-term therapy to produce emotional health. In some cases, clients endure months of therapy without any gain. It is time to expand traditional therapy practices to include, not just the mind, but the body as well.
