14. What Does It Mean To Heal A Body?


Listen Later

So often, when folks reach out to me to inquire about group or individual dance movement psychotherapy sessions, one of the first questions they ask me is, “How long do I have to work with you before I’m healed?” or, “How long do I have to work with you before I get better?”

It’s a valid question. But it’s also a question that’s dependent on many different factors, including the severity of the depression we’re working with.

In this episode, we’re discussing healing and asking ourselves the question, “What does it mean to heal a body?”

In this episode:

  • How I define depression and its presentation mentally and within the body
  • Why healing requires considering the individual story and the greater social context
  • A practice for noticing how your body reacts to experiences
  • Resources for increasing your capacity to feel your feelings and meet your challenges
