Grip Video: Embodied Active Pause in therapy

See a 25-minute video about what can be explored with an embodied active pause in therapy. For ease of use, the video is divided into several short clips, each of which has a transcript.

To practice what the videos are talking about, use a stress ball (also known as stress relief ball). If you don’t have one available, you can start by using rolled up socks or crumple paper into a ball. But please get a stress ball to keep practicing.
