Maintenance of the Mind
Have you ever seen a scene in a movie or TV where the main character undergoes therapy?
In fact, in Europe and the United States, therapy is not a place for “people who are struggling with something.” Maintaining health of the mind and body increases self-acceptance and self-affirmation. Nowadays, therapy is widely used to improve QOL and enhance one's humanity.
For example, when your body is tired you go to a massage salon, when your hair grows you go to a beauty salon, and to work out you go to the gym.
Regular maintenance is essential not only for people but also for machines and nature to maintain stable functionality, scenery, and performance.
By setting aside time for maintenance and training, you can consistently maintain a healthier and more active state.

What is Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
Sensorimotor psychotherapy is a somatic approach which focuses on body sensations in trauma treatment, established by Dr. Pat Ogden.
This approach has recently gained attention as an effective mean of processing, recovering from trauma, and restoring balance to the mind and body. It has been developing around the world for 20 years.
Physical sensations deepen the connection between our mind and body, and they are valuable sources of information for self-understanding and self-regulation.
By paying attention to the state and sensations of your own body, you can release tension in your mind and body. This will enable you to activate your original inner resources.
This approach helps you recognize the effects of trauma through bodily sensations and reactions, and encourages the process of releasing those emotions and energies in a safe environment, leading to a sense of integration in mind and body.
At our center, this approach is provided by a therapist who is officially certified (only in Japan as of 2023) by Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute in the United States.
