ADTA Talk - Dance/Movement Therapy: Authentic Movement
San Diego, CA 2016
The body is the home of feeling; the house of memory. To heal, we need access to it.
I wanted to share my ADTA Talk on how Authentic Movement can help us recover forgotten, denigrated, and repressed aspects of the self, which often remain buried until conditions are safe and nurturing enough to allow them to surface, heal and grow.
In this video, I describe the process of Authentic Movement which has many applications: therapy, meditation, and a source for creative work. I explore the relationship between mover and witness, and how Authentic Movement is used clinically in dance/movement therapy and Jungian analysis. Elements from neuroscience and a case vignette presented in this video help provide a better understanding of this embodied approach.
Thanks to the ADTA for inviting me and for making this video available as an educational resource. To learn more about the profession of dance/movement therapy, please visit www.adta.org.
