An alternative method for solving traumas, instead of the crisis methos, can be the use of rhytms

The study of dance as a therapeutic intervention has been gaining significant recognition within the realms of physical and mental health, autism, trauma, and more. This recognition is particularly vibrant in the methodologies proposed by Dr. Marco Paret, who has ingeniously integrated the principles of polyvagal theory into dance therapy.

Dr. Paret's methods are heavily influenced by a variety of sources, including the Terpsichore Trance Therapy (TTT) which leverages the rhythmic and ecstatic aspects of dance to induce a therapeutic trance. The rhythmic element is crucial because it is believed to stimulate the ventral vagus nerve, which is located near the skin at the solar plexus. This stimulation is significant because the vagus nerve is integral to the gut-brain axis and is thought to be a vital mediator in the mind-body connection.

The movement inherent in dance has the potential to release the "freezing" associated with the dorsal vagus nerve, which can be likened to a state of immobilization or shutdown in response to stress. By engaging in dance, individuals may be able to thaw this frozen state, allowing for a release of tension and an opening up of emotional expressiveness.

Dr. Paret's approach finds scientific backing in several studies that have investigated the effects of dance/movement therapy (DMT) on various health outcomes. For instance, Conceição & Neto (2016) and Neto et al. (2014) have shown improvements in exercise capacity and reductions in blood pressure, suggesting a correlation with enhanced cardiovascular health and decreased stress and depression levels.

Moreover, the research of Koch et al. (2019) and Karkou et al. (2019) supports the effectiveness of DMT in improving quality of life, affect, cognitive skills, and interpersonal skills. This is particularly noteworthy when considering Takahashi et al.'s (2019) findings, which highlight improvements in social skills for autistic individuals through DMT.

The therapeutic benefits of DMT extend beyond the individual to broader social contexts. Dance as an intervention for trauma, as detailed by Levine & Land (2016) and Tomaszweski et al. (2023), fosters an increased mind-body connection, emotional identification, and externalization of emotions, all of which are foundational to healing.

In the discussion of equity and justice within DMT, researchers such as Jorden (2022), Cantrick et al. (2018), and Kawano & Chang (2019) have emphasized the importance of acknowledging and addressing cultural biases and the specific needs of marginalized groups. This is vital in ensuring that DMT is accessible and relevant to diverse populations, as underscored by Nichols (2019) and Whyte & Barclay (2019).

The implications of DMT for schizophrenia, explored by Biondo et al. (2021) and Bryl et al. (2020), indicate positive outcomes in symptom management, increased social connectivity, and enhanced self-awareness. These findings align with the embodied aesthetics framework (Koch, 2017) and embodied neurobiology (Homann, 2010, 2020), which together suggest that DMT can significantly contribute to the holistic well-being of individuals, particularly those dealing with mental health challenges.

Dr. Paret's work, deeply rooted in the polyvagal theory, offers a nuanced understanding of how the integration of rhythm, movement, and therapeutic intention in dance can activate the vagus nerve, fostering healing and emotional regulation. This approach not only contributes to the field of psychotherapy but also celebrates the age-old human tradition of healing through dance.
