PMTV:– Psycho-Motor Therapeutic Vaulting
PMTV is a psychodynamic body-oriented form of psychotherapy based on remedial vaulting (Kroeger, 1977,1982,1990,1996,Kroeger et al. 1997) and psychomotor therapy PBSP (Pesso-Boyden System-Psychomotor Therapy) . This approach allows a wide range of applications for the most different indications from serious chronic psychiatric conditions to self-awareness groups (such as riders wishing to enhance their awareness and their relationship with horses). The aim of remedial vaulting is to integrate and unify the different active elements involved in therapeutic riding (horse, exercises, group…..) to achieve an ongoing developmental process. In working with adults, we have to bear in mind that participants have firmly entrenched personal histories they have learned to protect with their own mechanisms of defence and coping.
In contrast to remedial vaulting, PMTV takes place within a client-centred individual “triangle” formed by equitherapist, horse and client. Moreover, psycho-motor therapeutic vaulting is a process where interaction, response and projection need to be kept under control, i.e. it helps to structure the elements involved and to create systematically defined and varied therapy-based situations where clients feel safe to gather experiences in co-operation with the horse while being assisted by the therapist. The therapeutic programme relies on the Pesso-Boyden System/Psychomotor Therapy (PBSP) as a major treatment modality because it (1) is a development-oriented form of therapy, (2) structures the impulses clients experience during the process, (3) works with clear and targeted exercises, and (4) uses well-defined and safe situations for this purpose. In the “equine variant” of PBSP, the interaction between horse and client invites the latter to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Managed by the therapist, she/he may access unresolved past emotional conflicts through the instantaneous physical and emotional reactions that are triggered by exercises with and on the horse. Clients are made aware of these reactions, which are given names to make them less threatening. They are traced back to their origins and confronted within their historical context (such as previously unmet or inadequately met basic needs, past hurts, deprivations or losses).
Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor
is a comprehensive method of emotional re-education that applies successfully to a wide range of psychological and emotional problems. Its uniqueness lies in its capacity to help persons to:
Symbolically satisfy their unmet developmental needs from early childhood — the needs for a sense of a place in the world, nurture, support, protection and limits.
Offset the damage of traumatic events such as psychological, physical and sexual abuse.
Undo the often unrecognized but powerfully experienced consequences of “Holes in Roles” -- fissures and fractures in family systems that one tries to fill by sacrificing a portion of their own psyche in the interest of completing the gestalt of an intact family network.
The PBSP process of staging new, life-sustaining symbolic memories offsets the life-stifling consequences of deeply etched memories of damaging past events and enhances clients’ capacity to encounter and experience the present with more pleasure, satisfaction, meaning and connectedness. Further, these new memories, carefully created and installed as if they had happened in the actual past, tend to result in more optimistic anticipations of the future, thus promoting a happier, healthier state of being in the world.
A psychotherapy that facilitates essential human processes and the satisfaction of basic developmental needs that results in a life of meaning and pleasure. PBSP provides a time and space for “structures”, a symbolic re-enactment procedure that uses the resources of the body, mind and soul to fulfil the innate need to (1) become wholly and truly “who we are”(2) satisfy the basic developmental needs for place, nurture, support, protection and limits (3) integrate and unify the polarities of our biological and psychological being (4) develop our consciousness (5) develop our self-organising centre “pilot”(6) realise our personal uniqueness and potentiality. In Pesso-psychotherapy the approaches of psychoanalysis and family therapy converge, together with a client-centred attitude, in the one philosophy of treatment. This is coupled with a methodology based on the understanding of human physical and psychological development. Meaningful memories which influence our daily life are rooted in action, movement and bodily contact. In Pesso Psychotherapy clients are given the time and space to explore, within their own range of physical actions and experiences, the correlation between verbal and non-verbal language and between past an present. Posture and voluntary movement, physical symptoms and complaints bring the client in touch with psychological conflicts, unfulfilled needs and traumatic experiences. The body plays a key role in Pesso psychotherapy, providing the line of approach to help the client trace and process unresolved emotional conflicts. Instead of only discussing such conflicts, it allows the client to feel and express them physically and to look for a physically experienced, symbolic alternative.
