| Hakomi Method of Assisted Self-Study | The Hakomi Method of Assisted Self-Study is a unique form of body-centered, mindfulness-based, experiential psychotherapy. Hakomi helps a person become aware of unresolved, unconscious patterns of belief that cause unnecessary suffering. These systems of belief, such as “I’m a bad person”, “I don’t belong here”, or “The world is unsafe”, at one time had an appropriate and adaptive purpose, but are currently operating based on past experience rather than one’s current situation. They operate out of normal awareness and yet affect one’s moods, thoughts, interactions and behavior in day to day life.
In Hakomi, or assisted self-study, one can come to identify what beliefs are operating and also what nourishing experience is missing. These deep-seated beliefs affect our whole perspective of the world, they are central to how we make sense of our experiences and so resolution of them results in deep, lasting, and satisfying change.
A Hakomi therapist provides a safe container of loving presence. Within that context, the therapist works together with the client to move through these deeply ingrained, chronic ways of being to discover, accept, and embody more satisfying and nourishing beliefs in line with one’s authentic self. Hakomi is ideal for those committed to their own healing or self-discovery, who are able to at least temporarily pay attention to their own experience, and perhaps for those who have difficulty putting words to their struggles or found talk-therapy to be limited in its benefit.
