ACT Experience ( in years)
|
| For 12 years I have used MIndfulness and Somatic Acceptance (my intergation of imagery work and focused body work from Grof's Holotropic breathwork with over 1000 adults, couples and teenagers and it appears to provide faster dissipation/resolution of sensations for many people than ACT or Peter Levine's Somatic EXperiencing. HOwever it requires a good body awareness. I am delighted to find that ACT provides a more structured step by step path for individuals to develop that awareness than teaching mindfulness or meditation. |
