Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy is a gentle,
respectful method that allows you to access deep, core
material, opening the possibility for awareness and
transformation.
Hakomi Professional Trainings are offered regularly.
The aim of the training is to turn out high quality, caring
therapists who are as dedicated to fully knowing their own
process as they are to the understanding of others.
Composed of memories, images, beliefs, neural
patterns, and deeply held emotional dispositions, this
material creates and maintains our images of self and of
our culturally acquired world. It shapes the styles, habits,
behaviours, perceptions, physical postures and attitudes
which define us as individuals.
Each Hakomi training teaches the entire curriculum of
the Hakomi Method as outlined by the Hakomi Institute.
Some of this core material supports our being who
we wish to be, while some of it, learned in response to
difficult situations, continues to limit us. Hakomi allows the
client to distinguish between the two, and to modify willingly
any material which restricts his or her wholeness.
In therapy, we first work to build a relationship
which maximises safety and the cooperation of the
unconscious. With that relationship, we help the client focus
on and study how he or she organises experience.
To do this, we establish and use mindfulness, a distinct state of consciousness characterised by a
surrender to and acceptance of the happenings of the
moment, a gentle sustained focus of attention inward, a
heightened sensitivity and the ability to observe and name
the contents of consciousness.
In psychotherapy, says Hakomi founder Ron Kurtz,
nothing is as useful as mindfulness.

Goals of the training are fourfold.
First, a deep understanding of the principles
of the Hakomi Method and the ability to work with them.
The Science of Love
Creating Connections
that Heal
Second, an understanding of the organisation of
personality and character and the ability to use this
understanding with discrimination.
Third, an understanding of the various maps of
the therapeutic process and the ability to use these maps and
Hakomi techniques precisely and appropriately.
Fourth, an understanding of one’s own personality as
an instrument for therapy.
The methods of Hakomi are appropriate and effective
in all kinds of therapeutic situations, such as relationships,
family, movement and body work, but find their full potential in
the process of growth, both personal and transpersonal.

Research has consistently shown that the quality of
the therapeutic relationship is often the biggest factor in effective
therapy, more so than specific therapy techniques. Additionally,
in personal relationships, the quality of connection is a big factor
in determining how satisfying the relationship is, whether that be
with intimate partners, parents, children, friends or colleagues.

with another human being? And what gets in the way? —
