Grief, like trauma, is held in the physical body. Often, individuals are unable to process their grief, identify their trauma or understand the neurobiological effects that grief has on the mind-body relationship. Dance/movement Therapy (DMT) is a clinical, evidence-based practice that focuses on the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual to reach diverse and person-centered therapeutic goals. Implementing dance/movement therapy interventions to process neurobiological responses to grief and loss provide an embodied, kinesthetic approach to healing trauma and restoring the mind-body-spirit relationship.
