Dance/Movement Therapists (DMT’s) are trained to provide somatic interventions with the presumption that clients have access to expressing themselves through abstract metaphor and expressive embodiment. When working with pervasively traumatized rural populations, perception of the body, discussion of somatic responses, and movement can trigger in clients a sense of resistance towards movement. DMT’s must shift their approach and classical training to work with unseen movement(s). Lecture, discussion and experiential will provide suggestions of adaptations for working with movement resistance clients and assist DMT’s to gain confidence engaging with movement resistance.
