Stress and Depression - From the Perspective of Body Psychology

In current times, depression is advancing in a frightening way and may originate in situations in which some people cannot manage their feelings and emotions in the face of the demands of our society, with stress as a factor that can greatly contribute to its outbreak, or even in fixations that may occur in the stages of child development. In this case, given the difficulty in elaborating unpleasant experiences, these emotions will be repressed, lodging in the unconscious, with returns often expressed in the body, without awareness of somatic responses. The purpose of this book is to bring to all those interested a little of the theory of Body Psychology and present some cases with depressive patients, using some therapeutic techniques of this science, which can greatly help the individual to overcome this disorder and organise himself internally. "It is a book that makes us navigate the history of Body Psychology in a simple and clear way, understanding stress and depression from an energetic-emotional point of view, which is missing in many literatures" (José Henrique Volpi).
