In this webinar, Dr. Vita Heinrich-Clauer explores the essential role of the therapist’s body, resonance capacity, and grounded presence in therapeutic work.
She introduces the concept of somatic resonance and embodied countertransference, supported by neurobiological findings such as mirror neurons. The talk also addresses the balance between openness and protective boundaries, occupational risks for therapists, and bioenergetic tools for self-care—highlighting the body as the therapist’s most important instrument.

Psych., former researcher and teacher at the University of Osnabrück in psychological diagnostics, psychosomatic medicine, physical diagnostics, and developmental psychology.
