"Physical personality is reflected in psychological personality. So, too, physical movement colors psychological behavior. Through movement, human sense the driving force of change. Movement is the physical acceptance of change; awareness of this tends to be below the individual’s consciousness awareness. For the therapist of the psyche as well as the for the therapies dealing with the physical man, the goal is appropriate moment. Psychotherapist senses immobility in the dimension of time rather than of space. The individual bogged down, unmoving in time, unable to escape from his infantile or adolescent assumptions or traumata, manifest these physically as well as psychologically. His lack of movement, his general or localized rigidity, are unequivocal in their statement. Movement induced in the physical body will losing psychological chains. The job of the psychotherapist that's become easier.”
