✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that utilizes movement and dance as a means of expression and communication.
Rooted in the belief that the body and mind are interconnected, DMT encourages individuals to explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences through physical movement.
This form of therapy is particularly effective in promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
-
The therapeutic process in DMT typically involves the components including, assessment, therapeutic goal setting, movement exploration, reflection, and integration.
DMT emphasises a non-verbal approach, allowing participants to express feelings that may be difficult to articulate.
DMT is also informed by nervous system theory as it recognises the connection between movement and emotional regulation, emphasising how rhythmic and expressive motion can help individuals process trauma, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being by activating the body's natural responses to stress and promoting a sense of safety and connection.
The therapist holds a non-judgemental attitude and creates a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their movement and emotional responses freely.
