"If you have the willingness to accept the realities of life, you will live longer. It has allowed me to reach 93 years of age. I was raised to value the mind and the intellect, not the body. Favoring the life of the mind went against my nature. Healing the splits between my mind and my body has been my life's challenge.

The underlying purpose of Bioenergetic Analysis has always been to heal the mind-body split." -From the Introduction
