520 _a"Body Questions in Practice is a comprehensive multimedia guide to explore life transitions and decision-making, supporting readers during these processes by engaging with body movement and dance. Blending original music composition, illustration, accessible movement exercises and reflective journalling, this book helps readers understand the important messages our bodies communicate, leading to deeper self-awareness and providing insight into interpersonal relationships. Through practical case studies in creative and therapeutic settings, each chapter illustrates the application of key stages of embodied decision-making. Readers will discover methods to enhance communication, bolster confidence, and articulate potential courses of action both in their own practice and in working with others. Underpinned by the principles of dance movement therapy, this framework facilitates embodied exploration, unveiling significant insights into individual movement preferences and cultural influences, while informing effective strategies for managing life's challenges and opportunities. This dynamic integration of practice and theory provides a space for readers to reconnect with their bodies and deepen their understanding of movement, ultimately enriching their creative or professional endeavours. With activities tailored to all abilities and experience levels, it will resonate particularly well with mental health practitioners, arts therapists, artists, students, academics and advocates for wellbeing"-- Provided by publisher.
