Body Resonance and the Voice

This article focuses on bioenergetic principles and the link between emotions and the voice, discussing various approaches to vocal expression in the psychotherapeutic process. There is an examination of the idiosyncrasies of bioenergetic work with the voice in contrast to therapeutic approaches that work solely with the body. There is an important distinction for practical bioenergetic work between liberating vocal discharge on the one hand and the build-up of tone, boundaries and self-efficacy on the other hand (cf. Shapiro, 2006, 2008, 2009). https://www.psychosozial-verlag.de/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/20000/products_id/7257 https://doi.org/10.30820/0743-4804-2016-26 peerReviewed publishedVersion
