Former Children's Hospital Colorado patient Katie tells the story of how Dance/Movement Therapy helps in her recovery from her eating disorder.
Dance/movement therapy (DMT) focuses on the connection between the mind and body to promote health and healing. Physically, dance/movement therapy can include light exercises, improving mobility and muscle coordination, and reducing muscle tension. Emotionally, DMT can help improve self-awareness, self-confidence and provide an outlet for children to express and communicate feelings.
