So you're a dance therapist... does that mean you are dancing in sessions with your clients? *Photo credit Kate Struthers This is probably the most frequent question that I get about my profession.
In my dance/movement therapy sessions, your own natural expressive movements will be explored to help you gain insight into your internal world. You will not be learning specific movements, ways to move, or choreography, but building awareness around your own subjective movement experiences and patterns. We can then expand upon and play with these movements as a way of exploring your identity, emotions, desires, needs, conflicts, and relationships. Sometimes this can look like simply noticing the breath, or repeating a hand gesture that went along with a personal story. Sometimes this might look more like 'dance,' with larger movements or with music that is meaningful to you. This all depends on you and what feels relevant to your own healing and growth. *Photo credit Kate Struthers Does this style of counseling pique your interest or sound like your jam? Please reach out for a free consultation where we can talk more about dance/movement therapy and how it might deepen and accelerate your own process of healing and growth.
