 “I’m better when I move” is the story of my lifetime journey as a Gestalt practitioner using movement in groups. It is a story of how I keep learning to spend more time moving—and less time getting lost in my head trying to think things out—and how I keep supporting and teaching participants of groups to do the same. I offer and define seven key principles that have been effective in getting me out of my head sooner: use of energy; sensations – emotions – thoughts; use of self; presence; use of group; noticing; and resistance. I am intentionally writing in first person and present tense.
