In this webinar, Odila Weigand explores the complex dynamics of resistance and negativity within Bioenergetic Analysis, drawing on insights from Freud, Reich, and Winnicott.
She examines how resistance manifests through Lowen’s five character types and how somatic and psychological layers—Mask, Shadow, and Core—interact in therapy. Topics include survival mechanisms, fear of pleasure, structural dissociation, the role of media in shaping the modern superego, and the balance between catharsis and containment.
Odila Weigand also shares clinical vignettes and energy-based techniques, emphasizing faith in the body’s wisdom and the potential for personal and collective evolution.
