In this podcast, Paul Krauss MA LPC interviews Erin Craig LLMSW as they dive into “Dancing Mindfulness”—a unique way to express feelings through movement, facilitate healing traumas, and work toward regulating your nervous system. Dancing Mindfulness is an integrative health technique which is facilitated by licensed therapists to help people who are seeking alternative approaches and deeper healing. Along with movement, Dancing Mindfulness brings in many elements of education such as trauma-informed science, polyvagal theory, and mindfulness based cognitive therapy, all while encouraging self-expression and reflection. Erin currently co-facilitates the group with Sarah Denick, LMSW at Health for Life Counseling in Grand Rapids, MI. We also learn about Erin Craig LLMSW and how she ventured into more somatic therapeutic exercises.
“I truly believe that movement is our first language… [this technique] can move past cultural barriers and reach entire communities.” -Erin Craig, LLMSW
• Dancing Mindfulness which was developed by Dr. Jamie Marich out of her own healing journey and is an approach to addressing symptoms and feelings in our lives that doesn’t rely on talking."Each session of Dancing Mindfulness will begin with education or information about the topic for the day (a mindfulness concept, trauma and the body, etc.), which will then be followed by freestyle dance paired with a theme and music. We will then end each session with a relaxation practice. There is no dance experience required, all skill levels are welcome! "
