A study of significant moments of change in body psychotherapy

This article is based on research exploring significant moments of change in individual body psychotherapy. It involved semi-structured interviews with two body psychotherapists and two body psychotherapy clients. The research found that significant moments of change were identifiable. The participants gave precise and detailed accounts of the moment(s), and how the changes generalised to daily life. The longevity of the therapeutic relationship and the interactions during, and following the change moment were important for the change to stabilise.
