Dance movement therapy (DMT) is a form of psychotherapy that uses movement to improve a person’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It’s based on the idea that there’s a connection between our bodies and our minds, and that movement can be a way to express and explore our thoughts and feelings.
DMT can be used to help people with a variety of conditions, including:
* Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD
* Physical health conditions such as chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke

In a DMT session, a therapist will typically use a variety of movement techniques, such as improvisation, mirroring, and guided imagery, to help the client explore their emotions and experiences. The therapist will also observe the client’s movement patterns, which can provide clues about their emotional state and coping mechanisms.
DMT can be an effective treatment for a variety of people, and it can be particularly helpful for those who find it difficult to express themselves.

I’ve been trained as a Dance Movement Therapist starting in 1981 with the Halprin Method for 15 or so years, various expressive arts workshops over the decades, and lastly a masters in counseling and dance movement therapy from one of the few universities that offer such a program in the U.S.A..
