6th Annual Virtual Spring Summit
Resilience in Confinement: DMT and Interdisciplinary Approaches in Forensic Psychiatry
Presenter: Kavya Viswanathan, LCAT-LP, R-DMT, ERYT-500
1.25 ADTA, 1.25 NBCC

In forensic psychiatry, clients often face profound grief tied to the loss of freedom and recurring behavioral patterns shaped by trauma. This presentation explores how Dance/Movement Therapy combined with art therapy, yoga, and creative writing can serve as mirrors for resilience. Drawing from clinical practice at Bellevue Hospital, two case examples will illustrate how embodied, interdisciplinary approaches support clients in expressing grief and transforming restrictive patterns. Participants will engage in brief experiential practice and discussion, leaving with strategies for integrating dual-modality interventions and renewed confidence in the body's capacity for recovery and transformation.
