Abstract
This artistic inquiry asked, what is my experience as a DMT intern who worked with children who have experienced trauma? I was the only participant in the study. The data was collected using the practice of Authentic Movement, which is a codified expressive, improvisational movement process. Data was also collected using journaling. The data was analyzed using movement and identifying themes in the written data. The results can be summarized in three main themes: boundaries and limitations, polarities and balance and self-care. The main implications of the study are to integrate the explicit use of movement in DMT supervision and self-care practices. Additionally, the practice of sharing one's cohesive experienced is recommended. For future research, I propose the inclusion of more participants, both DMT interns and therapists and the use of a different artistic medium in the collection of data.
