Expressive Therapy: Dance and Movement

Dance is another art form which helps to release stress. Combining art and exercise stimulates the brain and lets the spirit soars. There are many modalities, but contemporary and self-expression dances are the most common for dealing with mental health. Some prefer a different yet similar form of expressive therapy, one that is slightly more structured to achieve inner peace. These are operated through Eastern martial arts, such as Aikido and Tai Chi. They are often helpful for those who are recovering from physical, sexual, or emotional abuse as they gain a sense of ease with their bodies.
