Tara Rollins, LPC, DC-DMT, joins Jess on Insight Mind Body Talk to discuss the unique psychotherapy method of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT).  Dance/movement therapy (DMT) integrates the creative process, movement, and verbal processing to help strengthen the body-mind connection.  Jess and Tara explore what DMT is, the difference between Dance Movement Therapy and regular, talk therapy, as well as how it's used in a therapy session.  Tara shares her experiences as a dance movement therapist and gives the listener safe and simple strategies for creating change in their own life.
