During times of ongoing stress, it is vital to develop a deeper relationship to rest grounded in the body and nervous system. Drawing from a contemporary approach to trauma treatment, foundational theory in dance/movement therapy, and recent professional experience leading “Deep Rest” therapy groups, this presentation will discuss how to move from active to restful states in the body and how trauma-informed dance/movement therapy interventions can support both clinicians and clients in preventing and addressing burnout.
