Available on Three Tracks

Nervous System Pic

Movement Therapy groups include three tracks to tailor these tools to clients' unique needs.

  • Movement Therapy for Stress and Emotion Regulation: a 12-session therapy group to support the nervous system through movement, breathwork, sensory engagement, and connection with self and others. In this group, clients will develop tools to support the body during times of stress while exploring five key areas of health. Group members learn and practice ways to track felt sensations throughout the body, explore protective patterns with curiosity and compassion, and regulate the nervous system in ways that align with their goals and values. As this is a closed group, clients are only able to join the group when a new session begins.
  • Movement Therapy for Disordered Eating: a 12-session therapy group for healing clients' relationship with food and their body. The spectrum of eating challenges includes eating disorders, but also extends to restrictive eating, emotional eating, and distorted body image. Movement Therapy for Disordered Eating is a helpful resource for all of those concerns. In this group, clients build safety with self and others, discover the origins of disordered eating patterns, learn critical thinking patterns to challenge societal messages, practice ways to inhabit and nourish the body, discover how to fuel the body to support goals and value, and experience connections as a healing pathway. As this is a closed group, clients are only able to join the group when a new session begins.
  • Movement Therapy for Supporting Recovery: a 12 session therapy group to enhance and support the recovery journey. People use a wide array of things to detach when they feel overwhelmed through busyness, sleeping, eating, sex, using substances, shopping, scrolling on social media, spacing out, using sarcasm and humor, avoiding commitments, overworking, exercising, education, etc. This group supports clients in recovery as they learn to support the body during times of stress, to track felt sensations throughout the body, and explore protective patterns. As this is an open group, clients can join the group during select weeks throughout the series.

All three Movement Therapy tracks follow the following schedule:

  • Sessions 1 - 2 | Building Connections
  • Sessions 3 - 4 | Setting the Foundation
  • Sessions 5 - 6 | Protective Patterns
  • Sessions 7 - 8 | Embodiment
  • Sessions 9 - 10 | Inner Awareness
  • Sessions 11 - 12 | Integration & Beyond Group
