Erica Hornthal— Using Dance Therapy to Help People with Dementia

How can we support our health, and the health of a loved one, especially if that person has cognitive limitations like dementia? Erica Hornthal is a dance therapist who talks about how dance can increase our quality of life and decrease depression and anxiety. Dance therapy can also have a positive effect on well-being, mood and body image. A body-centered approach to psychotherapy can also help validate and support an individual who is nonverbal, due to sensory processing issues, dementia or other difficulties with language.
