The Mind Movement consists of two main areas of social change: 1) a social movement for individuals to talk about and learn to take accountability for their mental health, and 2) motivating people to move and exercise. The book aims to bring together ideas, theory and practical tools that are accessible and highlight the overlap and connections in thinking to support clinical practice. The Mind Movement: Integrating Body, Breath and Movement illuminates the process of working with the body, breath and movement in therapy. The purpose is to give mental health practitioners the confidence to notice moments where they can integrate these tools creatively into their current clinical practice, in person and online. Presenting both psychoanalytic theory and practical tools offers a deeper understanding of the science behind working with body, breath, and movement. This will support practitioners 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 and reiterate the deep connection between mind and body. AUTHOR: Lorna Evans is a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and trainer with an MSc in body awareness and psychotherapy.
