·        [00:33] Introducing our guest, Aoife Donovan.

In this Table Talk episode, our hosts, Tammy and Caryn sit with Janis Altman as she shares her experiences in her practice of dance therapy as a psychotherapy tool, highlighting what it means and its role in helping people unveil the hidden pain that causes a disconnect between the mind and body, manifesting as a variety of medical symptoms. Topics discussed in this episode include:

·        [00:55] Meet today's guest, Janis Altman.

·        [01:56] How Janis started dance therapy in childhood.

·        [04:22] What is Dance Therapy?

·        [12:12] A lesson from Janis's first case.

·        [25:13] How do you work through people's pains and not take them on yourself?

·        [27:24] Human conditioning to avoid pain.  

·        [33:38] Lifework from Janis.

·        [34:30] Connect with Janis.

  Janis Altman is an MA Psychotherapist, Dance Therapist, Published Author, and Life Coach with more than 30 years of experience. She works primarily with young women who are at a crossroads in their professional and romantic lives. By providing individual and group therapy,  based on an individual's goals, priorities, values, and needs, she creates a personalized game plan to support problem-solving and achieve both long- and short-term goals. 
Janis is a published author of Being Naked: a Nine Week Journey Towards Self Awareness, and will be releasing her second book, Being You…Because Everyone Else is Taken, on Amazon in the next few months.

"The goal of dance movement therapy is to not separate and disconnect the mind and the body; once you do that, you get 'dis-ease. I really take notice of what people do physically more importantly than what they do verbally" Janis Altman
   
"In an event that happens, the feeling that it evokes in us is buried way down inside of us; we can only deal with the feeling, not with the trigger.  When you feel what other cultures do within your body and soul, then you understand them from inside out"  Janis Altman
