Each person is unique and has particular characteristics and personal experiences that have been developed and articulated inside a singular relational system: his/her own social and family environment. On the other hand, modern thinking assumes that human beings are guided by conscious purposes that can be reached by applying rational criteria. It was Freud who questioned this idea of a unified ego guided by reason. When he set out the existence of three instances in the psychic apparatus (ego, superego and id), he formulated the concept of conflict among the instances and he showed the possibility of the existence of unconscious purposes, opposed to the conscious ones, and unknown by the person. We know about the existence of these purposes, which are unconscious, or in conflict with conscious ones, because we feel anxiety, or confusion, or a blurred or unspecific distress, or because we feel other concrete discomforts: bodily disorders like digestive problems, headache, muscular pain or more structured illnesses, besides more or less intense fears or phobias including panic attacks. We are talking about psychosomatic symptoms. These concrete symptoms, as well as the anxiety and confusion we suffer, may lead us to question ourselves; to wonder about the cause or the near or remote origin of the distress we feel. To run our life in a satisfactory way, taking into account the enormous complexity of this task is difficult. Many factors influence its course. There are obvious factors, like the formal education received, and the value and belief system each person has, together with subjacent factors like our particular genetic makeup, the patterns and models acquired during childhood, from our family and our nearer surroundings. All these factors give shape to our inner world. The work of analysis helps us to manage the complexity of our life in a more satisfactory way, since it allows us to take into account variables that otherwise we wouldn't notice (the unconscious ones) and, in this way, to take daily decisions in a more accurate way. The work of analysis is to make the unconscious mechanisms and desires become conscious; to understand how we acquired them and, whether they have any meaning which allows us to deal with, resolve and satisfy them. Besides, to get in touch with our desires -to desire consciously- and to do everything possible to satisfy them provides us with energy, while to ignore them is energy-consuming. Activity and paralysis draw from the same sources. The notion "bioenergetics" means life energy. What is specific about a bioenergetic understanding is our attention to the body. To make bioenergetic analysis, then, means to take this factor into account: to observe if the person has energy available, or if, on the contrary, it is blocked or retained in his/her body and the reason for it. Sexuality is a ductile energy. The stimuli that get us to move have both a bodily nature and, simultaneously, a psychosocial nature in the actions or immobilizations they promote. The result of a process of psychological and bioneregetic analysis is a better integration of the person in what she says, feels and does. In this way one accepts the responsibility of driving one's own life in the direction that provides for a better wellbeing.
