Körperorientiertes Skillstraining

I always have the body with me! This book describes the theoretical backgrounds, didactics, methodology, strategies, modalities, and risks involved in using body skills. The gentle activation and perception of physical reactions stimulate the corresponding neural network and promote neuroplasticity. Body-oriented skills work aims to discover, develop, and utilize creative and physical abilities for problem-solving and everyday coping, without getting lost in a multitude of approaches, possibilities, and conditions. The practical section presents structured exercise offerings in the areas of body awareness, coordination and balance, body perception and acceptance, body expression and training of nonverbal interactions, emotion modulation, as well as crisis and high-stress management. The exercises help to deviate from established reaction patterns and automated behaviors, achieve necessary modulation, and promote strengths and resources. Descriptions of the exercises in words and images assist with practical implementation. This book is aimed at individuals from psychosocial work environments, as well as medical, therapeutic, educational, and social pedagogical professionals who wish to incorporate the body into therapy.
