Each body tells a story — one that is etched into muscles, posture, breath, and movement. The Body’s Story offers a groundbreaking guide to understanding and healing the emotional imprints carried within us from head to toe. Rooted in the transformational method of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor Therapy (PBSP), this book bridges the worlds of psychology, bodywork, and symbolic healing to help readers reweave the inner narrative of their lives.
Drawing on decades of clinical practice and wisdom, Curt Levang, Ph.D., L.P., Certified PBSP Trainer, leads readers on a full-body journey. From the psychological meaning behind head tension to the symbolic story held in the feet, each chapter explores the hidden needs, traumas, and hopes stored within various parts of the body
Through clear explanations, therapeutic insights, and actionable symbolic interventions, The Body’s Story provides a new language for healing — one that speaks directly to the body’s memory and innate drive toward wholeness. Whether you are a therapist, a healer, or a seeker on your own journey, this book invites you to listen more deeply to the body’s voice and to offer it the restorative experiences it longs for.
Discover:
A compassionate, step-by-step map toward greater integration, vitality, and peace
The emotional memories and unmet developmental needs residing in the body
Techniques for symbolically addressing the body to promote healing
The essential role of the “Inner Pilot” in therapy and self-discovery
Specific "antidotes" to rewrite limiting body-based narratives
This book represents both a tribute and a translation: a way to carry Al Pesso’s wisdom forward into the hands and hearts of those in need of healing from their past. Wherever possible, Al’s original language and spirit have been preserved, while integrating it into a new structure designed to serve contemporary healing journeys.
