How it works

DMP sessions are typically conducted by a qualified dance movement psychotherapist in individual or group settings. A session might involve:

Body awareness exercises: Helping clients tune into sensations and recognize emotional patterns.

Improvised movement: Allowing spontaneous expression of feelings.

Movement mirroring: The therapist may reflect a client’s movements to build empathy and understanding.

Creative exploration: Using props, music, or imagery to deepen engagement.

These processes help integrate emotional experiences that may be stored in the body, fostering a sense of wholeness and connection.
