Who is Lynda?Based on the assumption that the body and mind are interrelated, dance/movement therapy (DMT) is the psychotherapeutic use of dance and movement as a process which furthers the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical integration of an individual. Dance/movement therapists focus on movement behavior as it emerges through the therapeutic relationship between the client and the dance/movement therapist. Body movement simultaneously provides the means of assessment and the mode of intervention to help a client achieve their individualized goals and objectives in individual and group sessions.
Dance/movement therapy is not just dancing and moving. Small shifts in movement and breath are also taken into account. It is not dance lessons, however, some technique can be introduced and incorporated in a session. Dance/movement therapists may also incorporate a mind-body technique such as yoga that targets the client’s goals like improving balance and strength. DMT is a specialized form of treatment that requires extensive training at a master’s level and clinical supervision. "As a dance/movement therapist I acknowledge all movement by seeing the individual as who they are and what they can do, and not what they cannot do”. |
