Abstract

Dance therapy Movement therapy Authentic movement (Dance therapy) Counseling in higher education College Students
The purpose of this capstone thesis was to develop a method that looks at the ways in which Authentic Movement can be implemented into verbal therapy settings. Specifically, I looked at how the elements of "Noticing, Responding and Verbalizing" could help students deepen intrapersonal, interpersonal and unconscious processes within the therapeutic context. This is a collaboration that has never been previously done, but it is one that has the potential to increase the possibility for dance/movement therapy inclusion within verbal counseling settings. The literature review includes sources addressing trauma, the body and movement, college counseling, dance/movement therapy, and authentic movement. The Monarch method is intended to increase the potential for unconscious processing within verbal therapy by utilizing dance/movement therapy in the form of a modified Authentic Movement approach.
