Anthony

At 15 years old, Anthony received 1:1 Dance Movement Psychotherapy sessions to process separation and loss.  

During an online Dance Movement Psychotherapy session, Anthony expressed his curiosity in a painting hanging in the distance on his psychotherapist’s office wall. He explained how the green walls and painting were the "exact same colour as the one’s Nanna has at home."  

Together, Anthony and his psychotherapist, Lucy, explored the painting becoming curious of its detail and textures, imagining where they might be located within it. Anthony was curious of the large rock and imagined he would be standing on it, fishing, as he likes to do with his father.  

As Lucy and Anthony explored the movement play, and connected to the body, Anthony expressed the strong wave of emotions he feels in knowing that the therapy is nearing its end.
