Join Daniela Ho Tan & Janis Briedis as they discuss what happens when we make room for the body in schema work and what can go wrong when we rush it, miss culture, or unintentionally override safety. In this session, Janis will explore why body-focused (somatic) approaches can deepen schema therapy, including how somatic signals can clarify modes, unlock stuck emotional processing, and support “bottom-up” change alongside cognitive and experiential techniques. Dani will reflect on Eastern psychological principles in which the body is central to meaning-making and healing, and gently question where (and why) the body can get “lost” in therapy training, supervision, and day-to-day practice.
