Course Details

This article, "Mind–Body Integration: The Recoding Process" by Leanne Kidd, explores a therapeutic approach to address areas of "blocked energy" within the body that arise from unresolved emotional issues. This recoding process involves focused cognitive attention, intentional emotional activation, and somatic discharge, allowing the safe processing and release of this energy. The process incorporates self-soothing techniques and the development of new beliefs to help individuals manage previously troublesome issues. Leanne Kidd shares her personal journey of creating this process and its benefits, which include overcoming excessive rumination and physiological responses. The article emphasizes the importance of psychophysiological education and provides a detailed method for individuals and therapists to implement this self-help technique.
