Full Description
The Mind Movement book will illuminate the process of working with the body, breath and movement in therapy, giving the reader confidence to notice moments where they can integrate these tools creatively into their current clinical practice, in person and online.
By offering both psychoanalytic theory and practical tools, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the science behind working with body, breath and movement. This will support them to begin sharing the wisdom of neuroscience, the autonomic nervous system and vagus nerve with their clients.
The aim of the book is to stimulate new conversations so we all grow from this body of work. Within this post pandemic world, raising awareness of working with body, breath and movement has never been so important.
