Comment: | Autogenic Therapy (AT) is a therapeutic system encompassing both mind and body. AT teaches skills enabling clients to use their own capacity for self-healing and self-development. The core of AT is a training course during which clients learn a series of simple exercises in body awareness and relaxation designed to switch off the stress-related "fight and flight" system of the body and switch on the "rest, relaxation and recreation" system. Once learnt, these techniques form a life-long skill which can become part of a health-promoting lifestyle. They require no special clothing or difficult postures.
The British Autogenic Society is a charitable organisation whose purpose is to promote the use of Autogenic Therapy, maintain adequate professional training standards, and encourage research into AT and its diverse applications across the mind / body spectrum.
The Society provides information about where to find a therapist - please send SAE for list. The Society is the professional regulatory body for Autogenic Therapy in the UK, sets training standards and offers training to Diploma level. |
