Presented at CALPCC Annual Conference, March 2015.
Dance/movement therapy (DMT) was pioneered over 50-years ago, based on the researched premise: body, mind, and spirit are interrelated and support health & healing. Defined by the American Dance Therapy Association as: “the psychotherapeutic use of movement to further the emotional, cognitive, physical and social integration of the individual.” – DMT is a creative and expressive approach to counseling. This workshop will review foundations of DMT theory, basic tools used for assessment of non-verbal communication, and accessible interventions for counseling professionals. In addition, current research on benefits of mind-body, holistic health, and wellness practices will be discussed, as related to the ethical application of body movement in counseling.
Movement Psychology and Body Knowledge/Body Prejudice in Dance/Movement Therapy. Presented at American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) Conference, October 2016
This document discusses how dance/movement therapy can help clients with eating disorders overcome fears of embodiment. It provides definitions of DMT, outlines various DMT techniques and forms, and discusses how DMT can improve body image and schema. Challenges in treating clients with eating disorders are addressed, such as dissociation and trauma, and strategies are presented for meeting those challenges, including mirroring, choice, structure and creative movement. Goals of DMT for these clients include connection to body, expression, regulation, self-acceptance, and healing through creative experience.
This document discusses how physical abilities and movement are essential to learning and development. It notes that special needs children often have poorer physical and motor abilities such as difficulties with coordination, involuntary movements, and spatial orientation. Dance therapy is proposed as a beneficial nonverbal technique for activating and communicating with children who remain at a pre-verbal level by helping to establish body awareness, trust, and social skills through movement. The document outlines assumptions of dance therapy, including that movement reflects personality and can facilitate behavioral changes by building skills from sensory awareness to expression.
This document advertises two dance classes on Mondays starting February 7, 2011. The first class from 6:00-7:30pm is called "You Are the Center of Your Universe" and focuses on authentic movement and rediscovering one's sexy self through breath-integrated movements and vocalization. The second class from 7:30-9:00pm is called "Choreography from the Center of the Universe" and takes the movements from the first class and blends them with dances from the Middle East, Native America, and Bali to create a flowing choreography piece that students will perform at the end of the 6-week session. The instructor Lynne Jordan has studied dance, massage therapy, yoga, and world
Hatha yoga is a physical practice that aims to balance the body and mind. It incorporates postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to strengthen the musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and other bodily systems. Though physical, hatha yoga's goal is overall health and wellness by bringing equilibrium to opposing energies like male and female. Regular practice makes the spine flexible and reduces stress by regulating the subtle energy known as prana. Modern hatha yoga continues to evolve with new scientific understanding of anatomy and health.
Hatha yoga is a technique that uses physical poses and breathing exercises to achieve balance between the body and mind. The primary elements are poses (asanas) and breath control (pranayama), but there are also eight limbs that encompass ethical practices, concentration, meditation, and enlightenment. Some key poses discussed are mountain pose (tadasana), tree pose (vrikshasana), standing forward bend (uttanasana), downward facing dog (adho mukha svanasana), bridge pose (setu bandhasana), and locust pose (salabhasana). Each pose is said to stimulate different chakras and provide physical, mental and spiritual benefits.

Rudolf Laban developed Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) to understand how internal emotions are expressed through movement. LMA analyzes four categories - body, effort, shape, and space. Studies have found correlations between certain emotions and movement patterns, such as anxiety correlating with tense, controlled movements. LMA allows people to understand how their personal movement patterns relate to their inner emotional state and provides insights into changing patterns to express different emotions.
This document discusses the concept of holistic physiology and its applications. It proposes studying physiology in a holistic way that promotes healing.

Laban Movement Analysis is an approach developed by Rudolf Laban for observing, describing, and interpreting human movement. It can be applied to anything from simple gestures to complex actions. Rudolf Laban was a Hungarian dancer, choreographer, and movement theorist who developed Labanotation, a system for dance notation. He helped raise dance to the status of an art form and is considered the father of modern dance theory. Laban Movement Analysis describes elements of effort like action, time, weight, and space to characterize different types of movement.
Kate Sicchio and Camille Baker are exploring ways to "hack" physiological data from the body and create new visual and performance feedback using mobile devices (1). Their project "Hacking the Body" involves gathering internal body data like breath and blood volume and creating artworks using sensing systems and audiovisual technology (2). They plan to adapt to new technologies and create generative pieces using custom software, sensors, and mobile apps (3).

Sample 1:Music therapy and dancemovement therapy are similar to.docxjeffsrosalyn
Sample 1:
Music therapy and dance/movement therapy are similar to art therapy in the sense that are an outlet for the way that someone is feeling and may not be able to find the words to describe it. While art therapy uses the creation process of the art to help the therapist learn more about the patient and their needs, music and dance/movement is doing the same thing but with music and physical movements. All of these therapies are using the expressions of a person to help with the therapy process, it is just that the median varies.
Another way that they are similar to each other is that they can all help with non-verbal patients. Just like in art therapy a patient can use their art to show how they are feeling in music it is an instrument/music and in dance/movement it is the physical movement of the body.
Reply:
You made great points in your discussion! Based on what we have learned so far, I think that art therapy and music therapy is more similar than they are different. For example, a surgeon and a mechanic are very different, but an art therapist and a music therapist are actually very similar. I also think they both can help facilitate therapy through nonverbal communication. I think a difference between the two is the educational background needed. For example, an art therapist doesn't need to know how to play any instruments whereas a music therapist does, and a music therapist doesn't need an educational background in art, but an art therapist depends on it!
Sample 2:
I think music therapy and dance/movement therapy can relate to art therapy for several reasons. The first similarity these therapies have is that they can be used in groups, family, or in individual therapy. I also think they are similar in the way they both are expressive and allow people to use these therapies without using verbal communication, or in other words, like we learned in a previous lesson, it can be used for a nonverbal client. Also they are similar because they can be used in different populations as well, such as those with cancer, mental illness, the homeless, etc.
One difference music therapy, dance/movement therapy, and art therapy have is that they require different educational backgrounds, at least in certain ways. For example, a music therapist must have some abilities and talents with instruments, but a music therapists doesn't necessarily need a background in art and vice versa.
Sample 3:
Music therapy and dance/movement therapy relate to art therapy because they are both different forms of therapy but still allow the patients to express their feelings without really talking. Both forms of therapy help the patients convey their emotions through physical movements whether it being using there hands to paint and draw or using their body and vocal cords to sing and dance.
One difference between music therapy, dance/movement therapy, and art therapy is I believe sometimes the art therapist can possibly tell more how the patient is feeling.
The document discusses the role of performing art therapy in mental health science. It begins by providing background on mental health issues and the status of mental hospitals in India. It then discusses performing art therapy and some common myths about it. The document outlines several paradigms used in performing art therapy research, including the brain, neurological, vibration, psychoanalytic, and group dynamics paradigms. It also discusses how performing art therapy is learned and provides case studies of its effectiveness in treating psychiatric illnesses and specific disorders.
presented in september 2014 in Riga, at the first European DanceMovement Conference. it's about a research project on resilience dances in dancemovement therapists
This class explores human development from prenatal stages through end of life using dance/movement therapy concepts. Participants will examine their own life histories and learn how movement supports well-being. Key life stages like childhood, adolescence and aging are discussed. The goal is to understand how relationships shape each phase and how the body informs one's experiences. Students will complete a self-designed project to further their personal and professional understanding.
Personal Statement
My education and experience parallels two philosophies. On the one side I have pursued being a passionate artist and on the other side I am a psychologist interested in healing. I believe that the two tracks support each other. Each track leads to building community through fostering meaningful relationships one person at a time. I am seeking a career that respects people and communities in times of need by providing resources to individuals to live to their fullest potential.
This document discusses dance movement therapy and how it can be used to help with various mental illnesses and disorders. It defines dance movement therapy as the psychotherapeutic use of movement as a process that furthers the emotional, cognitive, social and physical integration of the individual. The document provides activities for participants to discuss how music and dance make them feel emotionally. It also assigns homework for participants to research how dance movement therapy could be used to help with specific disorders like depression, autism, Parkinson's disease, and more.
Introduction
There is no uniform conception in the literature about what an emotion is and consists of [1,2]. Consensually, essential aspects have been considered to understand emotion: the presence in emotions of physiological changes, the mobilisation of bodily actions or “tendencies of action” and the subjective experience that involves; and emotion has been approached as a result of a system of analysis and processing of information. But taking each of the elements indicated separately has not favoured knowledge of emotion being presented in an integrated manner [3]. Moreover, the investigators have been supported in their work by different a theoretical orientation, which makes it even more difficult to integrate all the knowledge. One perspective that tackles this question is the theories of Embodiment, which have their origin in the French philosopher Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), according to which psychological processes are based on bodily states. From the perspective of Embodiment, perceiving, recognizing and interpreting an emotion in ourselves or in others requires information from bodily systems. In this way “experiencing emotional states affects somatovisceral and motoric systems” and vice versa. In other words, “bodily states have effects on how emotional information is processed” [4].
The document discusses how dance movement therapy (DMT) can be an effective treatment for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). It uses the embodied simulation theory as a framework to argue that the physical aspects of DMT can enhance mental and emotional development. DMT focuses on neural mirroring to help patients develop empathy and social skills. Studies discussed found that DMT increased social engagement for ASD patients. The exploration of space in DMT can also foster security and new perspectives. While ASD patients may lack intent, DMT can enhance their sense of self through non-verbal dialogue and understanding social cues. DMT has also helped patients with other conditions and can improve quality of life for those with ASD.

Music therapy uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. It involves using music interventions within a therapeutic relationship to accomplish individualized goals. Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession that utilizes music's non-invasive properties to assess functioning and design treatment plans. Assessments evaluate areas like communication, cognition, motor skills, and social/emotional status through engaging clients in music activities like singing, moving, and playing instruments. The humanistic approach views individuals holistically and music therapy aims to facilitate skill development and transfer to daily life through strong motivators like music.
These are the intro slides to the Alliance's Second Annual Conference which was held in the beautiful and historic city of Charleston, South Carolina on August 18-20. With a theme of Bringing Teaching to the Next Level, the conference brought a specific focus to the need for establishing standards for teacher training in the massage therapy field. It was an enthusiastic and collaborative event attended by participants from all facets of the massage education sector, including school directors, teachers, continuing education providers, and leaders of stakeholder organizations.
Art therapy can benefit those with Alzheimer's disease in several ways. It can assist in diagnosing and evaluating cognitive status, provide non-verbal communication, encourage reminiscing, and provide sensory stimulation. Art therapy sessions may involve individual or group activities using structured directives or free choice of media depending on the client's needs and abilities. Life review scrapbooks created with collage materials offer opportunities to integrate feelings, consolidate identity, and stimulate memories while validating personal history. Research on the potential benefits of art therapy for those with Alzheimer's disease is ongoing.
Art therapy uses creative activities like painting, drawing, and sculpting to increase well-being and help people overcome challenges. It is used in mental health settings to help people explore feelings, develop skills, and boost self-esteem. Research shows art therapy can reduce stress, depression, and other symptoms in people with conditions like cancer, heart disease, and HIV/AIDS. However, more extensive research is still needed to demonstrate art therapy's full health benefits.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

The Body as a Tool: Using Dance/Movement, Creativity, and Expression in Counseling
1. “When we pay focused attention on our
bodily sensations, we can recognize the
ebb and flow of our emotions and, with that,
increase our control over them.”
Bessel van der Kolk
(2014, p. 208)
2. The Body as a Tool:
Using Dance/Movement, Creativity, and
Expression in Counseling
Sara R. van Koningsveld
MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
3. Objectives: By attending this session...
Attendees will acquire an understanding of the
foundations of dance/movement therapy theory and the
application of body movement in counseling practice.
Participants will expand knowledge of movement,
including: observation skills, descriptive terms, and
self-awareness/ body knowledge, through experiential
activities.
The presenter will assimilate research on mind-body
integration, holistic health, and wellness, as they relate
to dance/movement therapy and counseling.
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
4. What is Dance/Movement Therapy?
Roots in modern dance and improvisation.
1940s and 1950s: profession developed
American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA): 1966
1970s emergence of Master’s programs
[Currently (6) in US and alternate route option]
American Journal of Dance Therapy (AJDT): 1977
[Springer/ 36 volumes]
2000: National Board of Certified Counselors recognizes
DMT as a form of Therapy
Board Certification/credentialing began in 2009
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
5. What is Dance/Movement Therapy?
According to ADTA:
“…psychotherapeutic use of movement to further the
emotional, cognitive, physical and social integration of the
individual.” (ADTA.org)
Dance/movement therapy is:
Focused on movement behavior as it emerges in the therapeutic
relationship. Expressive, communicative, and adaptive behaviors
are all considered for group and individual treatment. Body
movement, as the core component of dance, simultaneously
provides the means of assessment and the mode of intervention
for dance/movement therapy.
Is used with people of all ages, races and ethnic backgrounds in
individual, couples, family and group therapy formats.
Similar application and philosophy to: somatic therapy, yoga/yoga
therapy, expressive arts therapy
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
7. The Mind-Body Connection
Every experience, including our thoughts, are connected to
physical sensations and structurally rooted in our brain.
Body is the physical substance.
Mind is “the patterns in the flow of energy and information”
due to neural activity of the brain (Siegel, 1999, p. 3).
The energy and information flows within the individual and
between brains.
Shared experiences – shared mind.
Personal and professional relationships
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
9. DMT in Clinical Practice
Beginning the therapy process with noticing and describing
feelings the body.
Physical sensations: pressure, temperature, tension, etc.
“I help them become aware of their breath, their gestures and
movements.” (van Der Kolk, 2014, p. 101)
Subtleties: posture, eye contact, patterns of breathing, and
voice changes
Re-educate the mind through the body.
Create new neural pathways/ rewire the brain.
Reconnect physical sensations with psychological events.
Mindfulness, physical movement, breathing, meditation.
Practices of Western culture vs. others of the world.
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
10. DMT in Psychotherapy/ Counseling
DMT interventions “engage somatic, emotional, and
perceptual processes simultaneously.” (Homann, 2010,
p. 81)
Spontaneous movement improvisation vs. structured
dance/movement experiences
“Movement helps individuals to bypass verbal defenses
and to enter deeper realms of personal realization.”
(Levy, 2014, p. 8)
Somatic attunement: experience of being with another
and “feeling felt”. (Siegel, 1999, p. 70)
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
11. Body Knowledge
Kinesthetic Sense/ Kinesthetic Awareness
Felt/sensory experience allows the mind to assess
and interpret a situation, take action, and respond
accordingly (movement which is interpreted by
others).
Humane Effort
…enables us to learn, grow, and change in
movement, building awareness of the relationship
between mind and body.
Body Knowledge/ Body Prejudice
Awareness of own movement patterns (body
knowledge) and awareness of kinesthetic response
(body prejudice) while observing others.
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
12. DMT, Mirror Neurons, & Empathy
Mirror neurons provide a foundation for empathy, love,
and human relationships.
DMT interventions that include body-based mirroring
are observed to increase client’s ability to engage in
interactions with others and read facial expressions.
Individuals with high tendency for empathy will copy
others more than others.
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
14. Movement Observation & Assessment
Observing cues:
Breathing
Eye contact
Posture(s)/gesture(s)
Rhythms & patterns
Body Knowledge/ Body Prejudice
Developed systems:
Kestenberg Movement Profile
Bartenieff Fundamental Connectivities
Movement Pattern Analysis
Laban Movement Analysis
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
15. Laban Movement Analysis
Body: What is moving?
Identify parts/segments
Effort: Why is it moving?
Time (accelerating / decelerating)
Weight (increasing pressure / decreasing pressure)
Space (directing / indirecting)
Flow (binding / freeing)
Shape: How is it moving?
Spoke, arc, curve
Spreading/ rising/ advancing
Enclosing/ sinking/ retreating
Space: Where is it moving?
Dimensions, Diagonals, etc.
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
18. Dance/Movement in Clinical Practice
Ethical Considerations
Scope of practice
Training, education, and license
Therapeutic Dance/Movement vs. Dance/Movement Therapy
“Dance/movement therapists engage in both bio-psycho-social
and movement assessment for the purposes of intentional verbal
or nonverbal intervention and assessment.” (Imus, 2014)
Questions to consider:
Is movement [and the body] being used as a tool or as the medium
of therapy/counseling?
How is movement [and the body] informing your process in the
therapy/counseling session?
Others??
Sara R. van Koningsveld, MA, PCCI, R-DMT, GL-CMA
19. Conclusions
Dance/Movement Therapy as a Clinical Profession
Laban Movement Analysis as an Observation Tool

*Is effective for individuals with developmental, medical, social, physical and psychological impairments.
*As the dance/movement therapist gains greater awareness of the links between a pt’s reflective capacity, emotional organization, and movement expression, the interveniton goals are to impact both physical and psychological integration.
*DMT interventions that emphasize proprioception and encourage internal focus on body and sensory awareness may have beneficial effects on these neurophysiological regulation systems.
*Physiologically, sensory awareness approaches initiate a down-regulation of the nervous system… Body awareness activities help to create a subjectively positive experience in the body, helping the pt to feel relaxed, held, and safe. These interventions provide a foundation for pts to gauge thei own experiences and manage their levels of arousal through self-regulation of their own bodies.
*”…body movement can help individuals who are stuck in their thoughts, and out of touch with their feelings, to reconnect and integrate mind and body.”
*”Genuine insight requires a physical release of energy. Without this release, the treatment runs the risk of becoming overly intellectualized and without substance. This is what makes action-oriented, embodied approaches to therapy so vital.
“information is relayed to the brain about the state of the body and its ongoing relationship with the outside world” (Newlove, 1993, p. 63)
It turns out that it’s much more complicated than simply looking at setting and population or even intervention and use of clinical skills. Susan Imus is a board certified dance/movement therapist, chair of a dance/movement therapy education program. When challenged to explain why good patient care requires training, Susan identified a model for understanding the continuum between art and therapy.
