Welcome to LifeDancing, the Dance of Life
The one thing we can all count on in life is movement and change. Any dynamic dancer knows that the key tools needed in any successful dance is the ability to move from their center so at any given moment they can respond to changes in their music, environment or ability to stay in the "dance." The concept of the LifeDancing process came from my background in dance, design, psychotherapy, and more recently brain science, positive psychology and mindfulness meditation.
When I entered the field of psychotherapy I was convinced that every person held within themselves a seed of self that only needed to be nurtured and supported until it grew into a complete expression of their essence. As I went through the training that was based in the medical model, I discovered that medicine actually viewed people as disconnected parts that became dys-functional and required a therapist to identify and diagnose and then treat.
This model never sat well on my soul, but since I was "in the business of psychotherapy," I worked with insurance companies and followed my professional associations rules to diagnose and treat using their tools, i.e., the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, DSM and treatment protocols, yet always keeping an eye on my clients "self" acknowledging their wisdom and natural seeking for health.
Now 30 years have passed and my beliefs are being validated by science via new discoveries in brain science and the ways to apply what we are learning. The model of LifeDancing has withstood the trials of time as we now are beginning to understand just what people can do to create "Advanced Well-Being" using simple tools, guidance and support. So, the book I wrote 20 years on the Dance of Life is being updated to include these new findings.
Using the LifeDancing model you will be able to deal with any change, obstacles or problems that life presents you and continue your dance with a real smile on your face. I invite you to join the dance and stay tuned to this newsletter as I publish the new chapters. I invite your comments and insights as we move together through life.
