Trager Therapy Level 3

"We can only approach the ideal state in the body. There is no such thing as perfection."Dr. Milton Trager

Questioning attitude and feedback at Trager

By not intending to "fix" the tension we find in ourselves and in others, we invite the memory of something softer and freer. In this way, we reach out to the autonomic nervous system. Our willingness to experiment and work with pausing supports this process. The pause is the creative space where integration, reorganization and deep connection with a sense of wholeness are made possible. The pause is a place of dignity where client* and practitioner can come into their own power, into self-determination and into self-movement (empowerment).
