Tiivistelmä
You are holding the workbook for the course SomeBody - body awa reness for your well-being. The purpose of the workbook is to support exercises and reflection as you participate in the course SomeBody - body awareness for your well-being. The workbook is specifically designed to support the well-being and self-efficacy of a higher education student and thereby the ability to study.
In the group, you will have the opportunity to be and work in a confidential, safe and encouraging atmosphere. You will be offered the chance to study compassionately, genuinely and neutrally yourself (your body, your postures, your body reactions, your functioning, your interaction, your way of thinking, feeling, perceiving, and valuing matters) and others so that you will discover how perceptions and impressions of yourself and others can be diverse, different and positively surprising, too.
Above all, you will have the opportunity to learn about yourself, others and the differences between people, and to see these differences as a genuine richness. As your own understanding of yourself and your thoughts, emotions, goals and bodily experiences grows, you can learn to better genuinely meet the thoughts, emotions, goals and bodily experiences of other people. This will enable you to act in a way that promotes your own well-being and the well-being of others in your academic environment and later in life.
On the pages of the workbook, you will find themes that correspond to the goals of the SomeBody method and various exercises that you can do during the course. The course instructors can give you exercises from the workbook to reflect on between meetings or guide you to do some of the exercises in the workbook on your own.
At the beginning and end of the workbook, there is a SomeBody measurement tool designed to assess your perceptions of your body image, body awareness, emotional skills and social skills at the beginning and end of the course. At the end of the course, you will be able to see in which areas you have noticed a change.
