Dance therapy, also known as dance movement therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that uses dance and movement to promote emotional healing and self-expression. It's a unique approach that combines the physicality of dance with the therapeutic benefits of traditional talk-based therapies.
Dance therapy can be used to help individuals overcome mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD. By using dance as a medium for expression, individuals can access and process their emotions in a safe and empowering way.
During a dance therapy session, the individual will typically begin by expressing their emotions through movement. This can be done to music or without any accompaniment.
The therapist will then work with the individual to identify patterns and themes in their movements, helping them to gain insight into their thoughts and feelings.
Through this process, individuals can develop greater self-awareness, build confidence, and improve their overall mental well-being.
At DanceTen, our experienced therapists use dance therapy to help individuals develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation skills.
Our approach is tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals, ensuring that they receive the most effective treatment possible.
If you're struggling with mental health challenges or simply looking for a new way to express yourself, we encourage you to reach out and learn more about our dance therapy services.
