The speech is the therapist’s primary tool, but its effectiveness depends on context and action, as demonstrated by research linking language to brain activation. The body, often overlooked, is equally fundamental: therapy cannot disregard the influence it has on dialogue. Through the clinical cases of Marta and Silvia, the importance of physical distance and proxemics in the therapeutic process emerges. The act of moving closer or further away becomes a powerful metaphor for emotional connection and therapeutic progress. A critical reflection on contemporary approaches suggests that the body, with its tangible presence, is essential for an authentic intersubjective relationship that goes beyond words.
