Rediscover Your Mind-Body Connection, Stop Feeling Stuck, and Improve Your Mental Health with Simple Movement Practices Licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance and movement therapist Erica Hornthal shows how a mindful movement practice can help ease symptoms of depression, build a greater sense of connection and intimacy with loved ones, slow down thoughts to lessen anxiety and panic, and impact how - and what - we feel. Readers will learn to identify where they physically hold their emotions; understand and interpret their body's unique language; explore bodily sensations; identify emotional blockages; and upgrade harmful thought cycles to patterns that instead foster resilience, emotional regulation, and productivity. With a chapter on disability and movement diversity, Hornthal's guide begins to move dance therapy to a more inclusive, non-prescriptive space, helping each of us discover the kind of movement that works best for us.
