Dancing Through Recovery: How Movement Heals Trauma
Dance is perfect because it's just a really beautiful way for you to connect with that younger version of you who used to just dance and you know, like that kind of cheesy quote, dance like nobody's watching.
Ever thought about how dance can be a lifeline in recovery? In this episode of the SHE RECOVERS Podcast, Taryn Strong chats with Payton Kennedy, the foundation's Director of Volunteer Network and Foundation Events, about the transformative power of dance. They dive into how the SHE RECOVERS Dance program offers a trauma-informed, free weekly class that helps women reconnect with their bodies and emotions.
Payton shares her personal journey with dance, explaining how it became a crucial part of her own recovery. Taryn and Payton discuss how many who have faced trauma often feel disconnected from their bodies, and how dance can bridge that gap by fostering mindfulness through movement. The episode touches on the common fear of attending in-person classes and how the SHE RECOVERS Dance program provides a safe, judgment-free space for everyone.
Whether you're camera-shy or ready to groove, this class welcomes all. Wrapping up, they highlight the importance of community and connection in the recovery process. If you're curious about how movement can be a part of your healing journey, this episode is a must-listen.
