Dance Movement Therapy Workshop

When providing care and support for others, it is often unavoidable to continue carrying their burdens and worries even when the appointment is over. In care providers, vicarious or secondary trauma is common and can lead to burn out quickly. Over the past year and a half our work has been needed more than ever, so we must take time to take care of ourselves. Dance/movement therapy (DMT) offers the space to explore what our bodies have been holding and allows movement through those burdens we have been holding. A lack of self or bodily awareness can lead to increased vulnerability to vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue. DMT offers the care-provider an opportunity to attune and engage with the self and others who can empathize and hold space. Join us for a 90-minute workshop, exploring how we hold vicarious trauma in our bodies and giving participants a safe place for release. The workshop will also allow time for reflection and processing. *Ages 18+

No previous dance experience needed.
