Erica, The Therapist Who Moves You, recently led a dance therapy session with seniors, and the entire class took place seated, proving that movement doesn’t always require standing.

She started with a gentle warm-up to get the body moving, focusing on stretches and motions that promote circulation, flexibility, and calm.

These exercises are perfect not only for seniors, but also for anyone who sits for long periods of time whether you work from home or simply want to incorporate a bit more movement into your day.

Therapists, how do we support our clients in finding safety and security in a world full of uncertainty? If your clients are anything like mine, the one thing they are all battling is uncertainty. Uncertainty of the climate, the government, the schools, even of day-to-day responsibilities.This creates so much anxiety and while we cannot avoid uncertainty we can learn to manage it. Managing the uncertainty in the external world comes down to finding safety and security in our internal world.

Enter, The Movement Therapy Deck! A resource that supports moving through trauma and regulating our nervous systems.

This resource is for anyone looking to create more security and stability within themselves in order to manage the uncertainty of the world around them.
