Healing Trauma with Conscious Movement

Conscious Movement is an enigma. It pulls from germanic movements in psychoanalysis incorporating modern classical dance and eastern contemplative movement studies like yoga, meditation and recent literature in dance movement therapy/ somatic experiencing.

Conscious movement is a psychosocial intervention that incorporates the stress-reduction benefits of group processing and dance movement.

The purpose of the conscious movement is to increase self-guided movements to further cognitive functioning and emotional expression. As a mind/body integrated form of wellness, conscious movement combines the benefits of dance, catharsis, social support and creative activity in a single intervention approach.The facilitative group dynamics of conscious movement allows individuals to conceptualize their experiences through deep psychosomatic connection to their bodies, re-building self-confidence and coping with feelings related to stress.Allowing individuals to express the trauma they’ve experienced through movement and integrated forms of psychotherapy will help with the integration of the autonomic nervous system and will increase an individual’s ability to tolerate intense stimuli they associate with the event.
