Biodynamic Psychotherapy & Disability.
Boyesen’s tradition is already gentler than its Reichian roots — it trusts the organism’s own timing rather than forcing a release. This is where that trust gets tested against real bodily diversity, and where a few of its own assumptions get named directly.
Ten questions worth sitting with.
Primary Personality Without Able-Bodied Idealisation
Making sure “core” never quietly means “less disabled.”
Secondary Personality or Survival Adaptation?
Telling protective adaptation apart from a body’s simple, physical reality.
Psycho-Peristalsis: Theory, Experience & Evidence
What this claim can and can’t tell us about a body it wasn’t built to include.
Biodynamic Massage, Consent & Disabled Bodies
What ongoing, genuine consent actually requires with this kind of touch work.
Touch, Pain & Sensory Difference
Why touch that’s meant to soothe can’t be assumed to land the same way for every body.
Rest as Self-Regulation
Rest itself as the organism’s process, not the failure of one.
Fatigue & the Positive Ending
What genuine completion means for a nervous system with a limited daily budget.
Sexuality & Biodynamic Theory
Moving past Reich’s orgasmic-potency standard toward genuine sexual self-authorship.
Assistive Technology & Organismic Life
Whether the classical “organism” model has room for a body that includes real equipment.
Can a Body Self-Regulate With Assistance?
Yes — and why that answer matters more than it might first seem to.
