RADIX is a personal psychological growth discipline that is founded upon the holistic principle of mind/body unity.  Just as changes to the body can be made by the mind, so too changes to the mind and feelings can be made by work with the body and its energy, because the psyche is mirrored in the body. 

Therefore RADIX work allows for a very rich diversity of verbal and non-verbal techniques to be used according to each client’s needs.  Physical exercises, breath work, body awareness, energetic practices, other non-verbal and verbal techniques are combined in order to

1.      Release anxiety and negative or "stuck" feelings

2.      Transform emotional anxiety

3.      Increase self-acceptance and self-esteem

4.      Integrate body, mind, feelings, and behavior

5.      Strengthen sense of self and self-confidence

6.      Discover purpose and authentic self-direction

7.      Enhance the capacity for love, trust and joy

8.      Free chronic physical tensions

9.      Awaken a greater sense of aliveness

RADIX differs from many psychological practices in its emphasis upon feelings and body awareness.  The work is not solely verbal.  For many persons, a major goal may be to actually feel feelings - and not just talk about them.  For it is in the experiencing of our feelings that their bound energies can be transformed and integrated, thereby leading to a more developed sense of self and a body released of chronic tensions.  For other persons, a greater body awareness may help develop a stronger sense of self that is less overwhelmed by others or by feelings that already are too intense.

RADIX is not psychotherapy.  Rather it is a profound experiential education in one’s own feelings and purpose – an education that can lead to profound psychological growth.  RADIX is based upon the humanistic psychology model that views individuals as being on a spectrum of personal psychological growth.  RADIX is unlike many psychotherapies whose medical models view persons as being either “sick” or “healthy.”

RADIX education is rooted in the work of Wilhelm Reich, M.D. whose pioneering research on the relations of body, mind, and feelings has served to source so many of today’s Western body psychotherapy practices.
