Relationship and Movement (SF)

The movement based group therapy promotes psychological well-being through movement practice for people with relational trauma histories. It supports participants in exploring the psychological implications of relationship patterns and improving their relationships with themselves and others. The group therapy is led by a Certified Movement Analyst and based on human movement study called Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis. The therapist was inspired by Dr. Bruce Perry’s relational health and Infant-Parent Mental Health concept of “Serve and Return” and incorporated principles of relational dance called Contact Improvisation. Participants explore the interconnectedness between interpersonal relationship patterns and Contact Improvisation practice.
