The mental health epidemic and how BodyTalk can help
At a global level, mental health illness and emotional health issues have continued to rise over the last several years. And then we were hit with a pandemic, increasing economic and emotional stressors and we find ourselves at a crucial point of repair.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression and anxiety diagnoses rose by more than 25 per cent in the first year of the pandemic alone. The numbers at a global level, are staggering.
In 2019, nearly a billion people – including 14% of the world’s adolescents – were living with a mental disorder. Suicide accounted for more than 1 in 100 deaths and 58% of suicides occurred before age 50. Mental disorders are the leading cause of disability, causing 1 in 6 years lived with disability.

How can we help you with mental health or emotional pain?
Based in dynamic systems theory, BodyTalk considers emotional, physical, and environmental influences to address the underlying cause of conditions. By using various techniques to activate the brain, restructure the body’s energetic patterns we can promote healing from within one’s body.
Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression happen as a result of a complex mixture of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality and life events. To assess and learn the origin of these influences, a BodyTalk practitioner (like Angie Tourani) analyes your body through neuromuscular biofeedback. Other techniques such as Cellular Repair, may assist to counter the influence of a genetic predisposition towards emotional and mental disorders such as anxiety and depression. A Body Chemistry balance can be extremely effective in maintaining chemical intolerance, hormonal imbalances or toxicity, all of which play a part in a volatile, over-reactive bodily system. In addition, Active Memory, a BodyTalk unique technique is used to surface, disassociate, neutralise and release active emotional charges that could have been stored in connective tissue from past traumas and stressors.
The reason BodyTalk is so effective in treating mental health and emotional issues, is that the system caters to each person’s specific needs. By making use of the recognized connection between the mind and body, BodyTalk analyzes the powerful emotions, beliefs, memories, expectations, events and environmental triggers and their effect on any one of your 30 trillion cells. Approaching the issue in this way can quickly reveal the attributing causes affecting your nervous system within your everyday life, tackling these debilitating disorders through supportive avenues.
“When I arrived in HK I had been on antidepressants for 15 years after the birth of my children had left me feeling depressed and isolated away from my family. I decided to wean myself off the tablets as HK was a new beginning and my kids were grown up. To supplement the reduction in my medication I was advised to use Body Talk treatments as a way of dealing with the inevitable anxiety and fear.
BodyTalk treatments have helped me so much through my depression, panic attacks, feeling vulnerable, as well as through my digestive problems and intolerances which I had been living with for many years. BodyTalk Treatments with Angie have been an invaluable support for me in getting over anti –depressants and leading a happy and fulfilled life.” — A.R., BodyTalk client
