Creatively engaging with how our bodies feel, function, and move can help us better understand ourselves and our relationship to the world.
Feeling stuck in your mental health journey? This episode of the Recovery Devon Podcast might just be the shake-up you need. Dive into the world of movement therapy, where the focus isn't just on 'thinking' your way to recovery but 'moving' towards it. Ever wondered how dancing or even simple body movements can influence your mental well-being?
This episode brings together experts like Dance Movement Psychotherapist Karen Dudley and Registered Somatic Movement Therapist Paul Beaumont to shed light on this often-overlooked approach to mental health. They discuss how creatively engaging with our bodies can help us understand ourselves better and improve our relationship with the world around us. The episode also tackles practical questions: What can you expect during a movement therapy session?
How can you invite movement into your life if it's become unfamiliar or even challenging? Recorded during the third UK lockdown, the conversation also touches on the lack of human touch and its impact on our mental health. While Devon Partnership Trust doesn't include touch in its services, you'll hear how other providers offer it safely and appropriately.
Whether you're new to the idea of movement therapy or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights and practical advice. Tune in and discover how moving your body can move your mind.
