Dance Therapy and Pole Dance
This week we are joined by a special guest, Dr. Cat Liang, Psy.D, who studies dance therapy. She has just published a great research article, The use of dance and movement for the embodied healing of interpersonal trauma in women and girls. We will be discussing her findings in her research and what movement therapy can heal.
