Developed by John Pierrakos M.D., a psychiatrist and a colleague of Wilhelm Reich, Core Energetics is a system of personal growth designed to support the client in opening up to her potential for pleasure, fulfillment and personal power. Core Energetics works with the five layers of our humanity (body, emotions, mind, will and spirit). Through dialogue, energy work and the power of relationship, Core Energetics is said to assist clients in moving beyond the defenses and protections developed in the past to uncover their essential nature.
