The full name of dance therapy is "dance and exercise therapy", which combines physical work for psychological counseling and personal growth. Different from the traditional conversation consultation, in the one-on-one case of dance, we will discuss the significance and influence of body and movement on us, and integrate artistic elements and aesthetic healing function in this process.
Action is a metaphor, and the actions we are used to usually reflect some psychological state and behavior habits. Usually we are used to changing our understanding of the problem first and then changing our behavior. In the case of dancing, we directly explore the implied meaning of action and action, thus promoting self-awareness; Or expand our accustomed movements and body postures, increase the flexibility and adaptability of the body, and thus promote the development of mental health.
Dance here does not mean performance and stylization, but emphasizes the process of self-expression and transformation through body movements. The experiencers of dance cases don't need any dance experience-breathing, tiny body movements (such as hands, shoulders and other local movements), walking and jumping ... These movements happen all the time, and they can also be the source of dance cases.
In the case of dance, we can study the following topics:
~ Promote self-growth and discuss psychological and social issues such as self-esteem, self-confidence, sense of responsibility and aggression.
~ emotional adjustment, working in anxiety, sadness, anger, depression, loneliness and other emotions.
~ explore behavior patterns in interpersonal relationships and intimate relationships.
~ discuss the influence of life events such as challenge, choice and loss on individuals and how to adjust them.
