註釋This thesis examines the proposition that awareness of the body offers access to the unconscious, especially to repressed shadow material, and that working somatically and doing shadow work leads to greater self-acceptance and wholeness. This thesis also explores whether or not the processes of cultivating more dynamic relationships with the body and with the unconscious are analogous because both necessitate integrating all parts of the self, the pleasurable and the painful, with the benefits of increased authenticity, vitality, and spontaneity. This study emphasizes how increasing awareness and tolerance of somatic sensations and integrating shadow material offers people more energy, creativity, authenticity, and life force, despite the inherent discomforts of both processes. Using hermeneutic and heuristic methodologies, this research supports the use of a combination of somatic and depth psychotherapeutic approaches, especially with clients who are struggling with negative body image, depression, or inability to tolerate their emotions.
