The scientific model
Biosystemic is the name of a therapeutic approach integrating body-based mediation that sums up and combines its two founding components: the biological and the systemic.
“Bio” refers to neurophysiological and embryological dimensions related to the emotional and organic part of aspects of the body.
“Systemic” refers to the general systems theory, which makes it possible to conceptualize the individual as a complex system, made up of several interrelated subsystems.
In line with international scientific research, the Biosystemic model considers emotional regulation fundamental for the psychologic well-being, making it an essential topic to focus on in psychotherapy.
Emotion is considered a complex event in which different elements such as thoughts, sensations, movements and images meet and converge in a structured unit where they are all connected by a relationship of systemic interdependence.
Mind and body are thus distinct entities which are inextricably connected through the autonomic nervous system. They meet within the emotion, which consequently regarded as the quintessential psychosomatic event.
The Biosystemic model considers emotional dysregulation as the basic condition across all acute psychological, personality, psychosomatic and post-traumatic disorders. It aims to reestablish the connection between the theoretical framework’s three core components (mind, body, relationships) with through which this model describes the individual.
