This news should send us all to the gym -- and the dance floor! I think group exercise and dance therapy should be a part of every PTSD healing regime. Puts us back in touch and reconnected with our mental and physical selves while at the same time pumping us with endorphins. With all that going on, how could anyone not heal??
I totally agree, Michele! Healing is not "one sided" ie psychological is it? Stress affects us mentally, emotionally AND physically...and survivors often lose touch with their bodies to avoid a triggering event. Like you, "moving to the music" is helpful to re connect us with our bodies and frees our mind from the chains of the past resulting in an inner freedom that psychological healing I think. It's a wonderful way to reconnect from a state of dissociation and reclaim my "now".
