This paper presents a novel approach for using rhythmic drumming to facilitate self awareness of authenticity as well as self-trust during the psychotherapy process of emotional healing and growth. For example, building on a concept for early childhood development patterns referred to as “Primitive Gestalts”, the rhythmic drumming approach engages the client in a process that contrasts, on an experiential level, conditioned patterns of Primitive Gestalts with their authentic self. The experiential approach to therapy using rhythmic drumming is described as a technique for connecting with unfinished emotional business and linked energetic manifestations, as well as for moving and transforming unfinished emotional energy. As a result, this facilitates the establishment of new and healthier Gestalt patterns. Click the image to read more.
