PhD thesis and book
My PhD thesis explores how movement shapes experience and knowing, challenging the dominance of abstract and quantifiable knowledge in our culture.I argue that bodily knowing is central to psychotherapy and propose holding as a key professional skill – a pactive, or receptive and responsive movement that guides therapeutic action. A core theme throughout is verbalising lived bodily experience, with an emphasis on grounding praktical and bodily knowledge in well-defined concepts.
