Dancing with Joy, Shaking with Rage

Being moved by our emotions. A self-help book with body psychotherapeutic techniques

• trending subject of emotional regulation – from a new perspectice


Emotions control our behaviour to an extent that we are often unaware of and they have an effect on your whole body. They move us in the most literal sense. Body psychotherapeutic techniques can help us to become more aware of this ‘physical aspect’ of our emotions.

In her book, Margit Koemeda describes the mental and physical facets of our emotions and explains what their function is and how they work. More than 60 exercises help deepen the awareness you and others have of feelings and have a regulatory influence on emotional experiences and behaviour. As a consequence, we gain increasing trust in the world of our own feeling and those of others. Emotions become more controllable, which is important, above all, for people with problems regulating their emotions.
