Marcus Stuck, a German researcher from Leipzig University, introduced Biodanza to Kathmandu’s University in Nepal as a practical psychological method to treat PTSD post-traumatic stress and prevent psychological harm in children.
Biodanza has been found to increase children’s vitality and optimism by allowing their trauma specific emotions to be expressed through dance and movement, and offering physical and emotional containment as an important medicine tool that helps children to cope with unpleasant feelings. Biodanza was shown to have stress-reducing effects by decreasing cortisol and skin hypersensitivity in the Nepali children affected by the earthquakes.
