Learning the ability to engage in internal dialogue is an important part of personality development during therapy. The ability for introspection, self-help, a critical look at oneself and at reality are based on the amazing ability of the human consciousness to self-distance and conduct a dialogue with oneself. The child learns this through communication with his parents. An adult can complete his studies in contact with a therapist. The therapist interprets, gives feedback, talks about his own thoughts and feelings, showing the client how he can do this on his own. This skill is internalized, becomes its own skill. Sometimes the question that the client brings cannot be effectively resolved in traditional dialogue with himself and with the therapist. For example, if we are talking about a bodily symptom. Or if the dialogue brings up strong feelings and bodily states that are difficult for the client to cope with. Then body-oriented therapy comes to the rescue as a continuation of the therapeutic dialogue by other means on a different psycho-emotional level. When the therapist asks the client to pay attention to body sensations, feelings, his own breathing, heartbeat, at this moment the client learns to listen to his body, and through it his unconscious, being in a position of phenomenological openness to himself, his feelings and sensations, to the world around him , which comes in the form of sounds, smells, colors. And the body will certainly enter into a wordless dialogue, begin to talk about itself in the language of images, feelings and sensations, pictures from the past, unexpected memories, and may even answer questions. It is not easy for a modern person, focused on the mental, to immediately learn to listen and talk to himself emotionally -bodily. A therapist can help with this. By touching the client, he connects to this dialogue and helps it take place. This is a kind of non-verbal provocation in the sense of pro-vocare as an invitation, a call. This is a therapeutic question that the body will certainly try to answer in its own language. This is a new experience for the client in his self-knowledge, as a result of which the body language with each therapeutic session becomes more and more filled with meaning, more and more understandable. What gives mastery of dialogue with oneself at the bodily level? Restoring contact with amnesic parts of the body, that is, those parts which the consciousness for some reason does not want to see and accept; restoration of connection with feelings that the body stores in the form of spasms and tensions; understanding what state the body is in, is it tense or relaxed, is it comfortable, safe or scary, does it want to rest or escape? understanding what it is the body that wants to pay attention, manifesting a certain symptom, the development of symbolic thinking in relation to the image of one’s own body, the ability to visualize and feel the structures of the body, its rhythms, discover its complexity and beauty, and perhaps the most important thing is the recognition of the inner helping voice, which can be called the voice of intuition or insight
