“Hakomi” is a Hopi Indian word which

means “Where do you stand in relation

to the many realms?” or more simply,

“Who are you?”

“Hakomi presents some astounding

methods for getting to core material. It is well grounded in theory and revolutionary in its results.”

-Association of Humanistic Psychology Newsletter

“A visionary contribution to mindfulness in

psychotherapy.”

- Daniel Siegel, author of “The Mindful Therapist”,

“The Developing Mind” and “Mindsight”

“Hakomi is an excellent system for

developing key emotional intelligence

skills.”

- Daniel Goleman, author of “Emotional Intelligence

The Hakomi Method The Hakomi Method is an elegant, comprehensive, and uniquely effective approach to psychotherapy, human development and change. It integrates the Eastern principles of non-violence and mindfulness with an experiential somatic methodology originated by Ron Kurtz. These innovative techniques have been further developed by the Hakomi Institute, including the integration of current discoveries in neuroscience, to create an effective and applicable training for professionals. Typical therapy outcomes include lasting changes in deeply held emotional attitudes, beliefs and

For over 30 years Hakomi has pioneered and integrated the use of mindfulness in the psychodynamic process. When integrated with unique Hakomi techniques, this creates an experiential route to core material, deepening therapy beyond insight and words. t allows us to rapidly access the unconscious beliefs and early experiences which shape our lives, relationships, and self-perceptions, often without our knowledge. When unconscious, this material hidden in implicit memory creates projections, conflict and disharmony in our interactions and inner lives. Once conscious and directly experienced, these patterns are available for transformation and re-integration. Powerful emotions, memories, and trauma may surface at times during the process and these are handled gently and effectively. Attachment issues often emerge, and Hakomi is particularly effective in working with these.

Current neuroscience is also revealing the basis for the effectiveness of mindfulness, loving presence, empathic attunement, limbic resonance, and other aspects of Hakomi Therapy. Neuropsychology is integrated into a user-friendly framework throughout the training. As we work with core developmental trauma and implicit memory, the Hakomi therapist provides what Ron Kurtz called the “Missing Experience”, a deep and transformational process for the client. Due to the brain’s neuroplasticity, it allows for the reconsolidation of memories and rewiring of neural pathways in ways that can support the client’s opening to new and more satisfying behaviors and interpersonal experiences.

The experiential nature of Hakomi often allows professionals to discover new ave-nues to access key unconscious patterns quite rapidly, as mindful, somatic compo-nents are integrated with talk therapy. Although safe and gentle, this experiential process evokes a powerful “felt sense” for the client, allowing them to take deeper ownership of core material, its integration, and resulting changes. Hakomi resonates with Frieda Fromm Reichman’s words: “The patient needs an experience, not an explanation.”

Hakomi is a body-centered, somatic psychotherapy. The body is viewed as a “map of the psyche” – a door that can be opened to reveal the entire character and belief system of the individual. The body’s structures and habitual patterns become power-ful “indicators” – subtle access routes to unconscious and evocative core material.

Loving presence and the healing relationship are also central to Hakomi. Prac-titioners develop an exquisite sensitivity and attunement to others - both their con-scious and unconscious material - and enhance their ability to convey this recogni-tion. This creates a deep sense of safety and connection, and engages the “cooperation of the unconscious.”

The training facilitates the emergence of the “essence” of the practitioner. Research shows that this therapeutic presence and the healing relationship it facilitates are among the most significant factors in the effectiveness of therapy. The self-awareness and process of the Hakomi student therefore become essential aspects in their evolution as therapists.

As a depth psychology, Hakomi provides a direct, empowering, and experiential pro-cess. New material and experience are also integrated cognitively for the client, and Hakomi can be combined with a wide spectrum of therapeutic approaches. It is effec-tive for both brief and long-term therapy, in a wide range of applications including work with individuals, couples, groups and organizations.

“I’ve been attending trainings for decades, and this was the BEST I’ve EVER attended— hands down. I simply can’t believe the quality of the teaching, the awareness, and skill of instructors, and the tremendous love and care they bring to every aspect of the training.” - Rhonda Mattern, M.S., California “I have been integrating Hakomi into my practice with clients, supervision of clinicians, and relationships. I have learned to allow more depth in my relationships with clients and can teach my clients to tolerate and allow this depth. The practice with its focus on growth of personal skills as well as technical skills was invaluable.” -Nick Weingarten, L.C.S.W., Pennsylvania
