Hakomi Therapy

The Hakomi Method is a gentle and highly focused form of psychotherapy developed by Ron Kurtz. The Hakomi therapist avoids giving advice or solving problems. Clients are assisted in discovering that guidance and understanding are inside themselves. Faith in each person's ability to find the necessary answers and tools within is very empowering.

The Hakomi therapist's job is to befriend the client's unconscious and create a setting where this potential can emerge and unfold. Much of this work is done in a special state of consciousness called mindfulness. Mindfulness fosters open communication between the unconscious and the conscious. It is a state in which one not only has experiences but also is able to observe the ongoing content of the experiences without interfering. It is non-judgmental, self-reflective consciousness in action. Mindfulness is a place of deep knowing. In therapy, strong emotions are sometimes felt and early memories come back with intensity and clarity.

Mindfulness is only one of the principles of Hakomi therapy. For more information on this type of therapy and to find out if Hakomi therapy is for you, call me at my Raleigh office at (919) 696-4891.
