Core Energetics was developed by John
Pierrakos, M.D. who first developed Bioenergetics together with Alexander Lowen, M.D.
Core Energetics is a way of understanding personality in terms of the body and its energetic processes. It is a form of therapy that combines work with the body and the mind to help people resolve their emotional problems and realize more of their potential for pleasure and joy in living.
It is not uncommon for people to see Core Energetics as primarily focused on "energizing" the body and releasing pent-up energy. My approach to Core Energetics is based on the fundamental principle that just releasing energy is usually not sufficient to promote healing and transformation. Lasting results come from the integration of Energy and Conscousness.
