In this webinar, Angela Klopstech explores the bioenergetic concepts of grounding and aggression, and their relevance to broader psychotherapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Grounding fosters stability and presence, while aggression—understood as forward-moving energy—supports action and momentum. Practical techniques are presented for using these forces as stabilizing and mobilizing tools, both in daily life and therapeutic settings.
The webinar also highlights parallels with mainstream concepts like ego strength, resilience, and agency, advocating for the integration of body-based practices in psychotherapy.
