What if movement was the missing piece in emotional well-being? 💃🧠 In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Lori Baudino, a renowned dance movement therapist, clinician, and global advocate for integrating the body into mental health care.
With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Baudino has transformed the way we think about healing—bridging psychology with movement to create a holistic, embodied approach to well-being. She shares how Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) taps into our innate ability to express, connect, and regulate emotions through the body.
We break down the DANCE framework—Differentiation, Attachment, Narration, and Empathic Engagement—and explore how movement can:
🔹 Help children express and regulate emotions 💭
🔹 Foster empathy and connection through body awareness 🤝
🔹 Improve social, emotional, and cognitive health 📚
🔹 Shift emotions and enhance self-awareness through narration 🎭
🔹 Teach parents how to join their children in emotional experiences ❤️
Dr. Baudino’s insights challenge the traditional separation of mind and body, proving that movement is more than just exercise—it’s a language, a tool, and a form of healing. Whether you’re a parent, therapist, or just someone looking to deepen your understanding of mental health, this episode will forever change how you see movement.
