Emotion regulation is defined as a person’s active attempt to manage his/her emotional state by enhancing or decreasing specific feelings. Is essential for healthy psychological functioning. Deficits in the regulation of interpersonal emotions have been linked to psychiatric disorders, and teaching patients emotion regulation strategies has improved symptoms in a variety of emotional disorders. Emotion regulation through movement, is the mirror neurons activation during motor observation.
Peripheral theories of emotion argue that the origin of emotional feelings stem from bodily responses.
'through deliberate control of motor behavior and its consequent proprioception and interoception, one could regulate one’s feelings'
(Riskind, 1984)
