“We have needs that we are all born with.
When those basic needs are not met, we hurt.
And when that hurt is big enough, it is imprinted into the system.
It changes the system, our whole physiologic system.
What our therapy does, it goes back to those early brains, those hurt brains, and relive the pain, and get it out of the system.
Because meanwhile, that pain is being held in storage, and just waiting for its exit, so to speak.
So Primal Therapy is a way of accessing our feeling brain, and down below even the feeling brain, to the brainstem, to get to all of the hurts that started very early in our lives.
And bring them up to consciousness for connection and integration.
It is a very systematic therapy, by the patient.
The patient decides when he comes and when he leaves and how long he stays.
There’s no 50-minute hour anymore.
It’s the feelings of the patient that determine when he stops.”
