This writing is designed to introduce the theory that body-centered psychotherapy can be an extremely effective modality in recovery from addiction. It begins by explaining in general terms how the author came to believe that our bodies are involved in the development and practice of addiction. It then provides a contextual statement of inquiry, which gives an overview of the field of body-centered psychotherapy and the field of addictions recovery. This section reviews the basic premises of each of these fields, and postulates a conceptual and clinical bridge between them that allows the two to effectively intersect. The next section of the document lays out the theoretical framework of body-centered addictions recovery. It explicates the body's role in addiction, examines the expressive movement patterns found in addiction, and introduces the Healing Cycle, a paradigm developed by the author that organizes the process of recovery from a body-centered perspective. In the final section, specific recovery tools are examined. The first involves awareness techniques designed to resensitize the body. The second uses strategies for taking complete responsibility for one's life, and finding ways to track and monitor this in the body. The third looks at the process of physical dialogue or relationship. It helps us to repattern dysfunctional relationship patterns that keep addiction alive in the body. The last technique works with learning to love oneself as the culmination of recovery, and what love looks like and feels like in the body. The work ends with concluding statements about the potential for body-centered practices in the addictions recovery field.
