Course Description:  This 15-hour introductory course provides  theoretical, scientific, and contemplative rationale for the use of dance  movement therapy with survivors of trauma and as a measure of  protection, self care, and increased compassion.  The emphasis of this  class is client-therapist co-regulation as both a self-care and a clinical skill  that supports DMT’s ability to support clients through their own post trauma restorative process without re-traumatization. Drawing from a  contemplative human rights framework and Polyvagal Theory, empowerment and developing a reciprocal alliance are themes of this course. This class also provides participants with a practical introduction  and overview to using DMT in work with survivors of trauma, as well as  for therapists’ own resilience and well-being.  The course teaches DMT  practices to support relative safety and stability in the reciprocal  therapeutic relationship. A contemporary, evidenced-based phasic  approach to working with complex trauma provides the foundation for  theoretical material.
