Designing with the Body: Addressing Emotion Regulation and Expression

Published: 06 July 2020 Publication History

Abstract

In my thesis, I am exploring a soma-based workshop format where I want to co-design a highly personalized artefact with former sufferers of mental health issues. The workshop explores if it could allow the participants to articulate and express their felt experiences of their mental health and result in an individually designed artefact to help address their emotion regulation skills. In this paper, I will look at my work halfway into my PhD and outline my rational, methodology, current state and my next steps.
