BIOENERGETICS: Origin & Future with Diana Guest

BIOENERGETICS: Origin & Future with Diana Guest

"Before the body remembers, the mind only theorizes. But when the body speaks—through eyes that won't meet, jaws that won't release, breath that won't descend—that's where bioenergetics begins."


Dr. Brian Tierney connects with Diana Guest—certified bioenergetic therapist, international trainer, and living bridge to the roots of somatic psychotherapy—for a masterclass on Bioenergetic Analysis.

Together they trace the lineage from Wilhelm Reich to Alexander Lowen to the present moment, exploring how character structure lives in the body's seven segments:

👁️ Eyes
👄 Jaw
🫁 Throat
❤️ Chest
🌬️ Diaphragm
🫀 Pelvis

Diana defines bioenergetics as a holistic, somatic, relational psychotherapy—one that treats the body not as metaphor, but as history made visible.

🧬 What Bioenergetics Actually Is
A living lineage from Reich and Lowen, distinct from New Age appropriation

—

👁️ The Eyes
How we charge, discharge, and reveal character through the first body segment

—

💑 Couples Work
Eye contact interventions that bypass narrative and land in the body

—

🤲 Touch Literacy
Consent, ethics, and the therapeutic power of skilled, safe touch

—

👄 The Mouth, Jaw, and Voice
Biting, sucking, rooting—the unfinished business of the oral stage

—

🗺️ The Character Map
Schizoid, oral, borderline, narcissistic, masochistic, rigid: where we hold and why

—

🌬️ The Diaphragm
The breath breakthrough that changes everything

—

🫀 Pelvis and Sexuality
The "sexual cornerstones" that shape intimacy and expression

—

🌍 Grounding
Not as metaphor, but as felt relationship with the earth beneath us
