Dance Movement Psychotherapy 

  Movement and the Body

Dance Movement Psychotherapy is an alternative psychotherapy to talking therapy (psychology and counselling). It mainly focuses on the use of movements, dance, and the body. 

​​

DMP is for all, and you require no dance and movement experiences and skills. The focus is on WHAT you express through your body, and not on HOW you do it. 

Trauma in the Body

Trauma gets stored in the body even when it happened when you did not speak a language to describe it (Read more about Preverbal Trauma).

​

Somatic interventions (called the bottom-up approach) are necessary for processing traumas; hence dance movement psychotherapy is one method of processing traumas. 

The Body- Mind Connection 

Dance Movement Psychotherapy helps us to connect the body and mind. With gentle guidance, we warm up our bodies, express ourselves freely and we 'verbalise' our process. This is an important process as the bodily experiences are actively spoken and that is how the body and mind get connected with one another.
