13. What Does It Mean To Move A Body?


Listen Later

Movement is an integral part of my work as a dance movement psychotherapist.

It’s also been an important part of my personal healing. Movement is one of the primary ways I was, and am, able to manage my own depression.

Our bodies are in motion every moment of every day. Many of those movements, we don’t even have to think about.

But let’s take a moment today to curiously check in with our bodies and think about how we move them, consciously or not.

In this episode:

  • Noticing the rhythms of the breath and the heart
  • How movement impacts our internal narratives and our narratives influence how we hold and move our bodies
  • How bringing awareness to the body plays a role in healing
  • An invitation to practice small movements and bringing awareness to the body
