Q: How does Radix work differ from traditional psychotherapy?

A: An important difference is how Radix considers personal growth. The mind/body principle implies that profound change must not only be insightful (cognitive), but also must be experienced emotionally (affective), and reflected in the whole body (somatic). Deep psychological growth is not experienced in isolation from changes in the body and feelings. It is an embodied whole person experience.

Therefore, whereas traditional psychotherapies rely primarily upon verbal dialogue for generating insight and change, the scope of Radix must also include skills to work at an emotional and a body level when needed. Given the theoretical base of mind/body unity, Radix practitioners are always working at all three levels together even if very subtly.
