🧬 NEW EPISODE: BIOENERGETICS — ORIGINS AND FUTURE with Diana Guest
"Before the body remembers, the mind only theorizes. But when the body speaks—through eyes that won't meet, jaws that won't release, breath that won't descend—that's where bioenergetics begins."
Dr. Brian Tierney sits down with Diana Guest—certified bioenergetic therapist, international trainer, and living bridge to the roots of somatic psychotherapy—for a deep dive into Bioenergetic Analysis.
Diana defines bioenergetics as a holistic, somatic, relational psychotherapy—one that treats the body not as metaphor, but as history made visible.
