primal therapy
Primal therapy is a form of psychotherapy developed by Arthur Janov in the 1960s. It focuses on accessing and expressing repressed emotions from early childhood experiences, particularly those related to trauma. The therapy aims to help individuals reconnect with their feelings and understand how these emotions affect their current behavior and mental health.
During sessions, clients are encouraged to relive and express their deepest feelings, often through vocalizations or physical expressions. The goal is to release pent-up emotions, leading to healing and personal growth. Primal therapy emphasizes the importance of emotional expression for overall well-being.
