10 Week Embodied Grounding and Regulation (DMP) Session Plan
Embodied Grounding and Regulation – Dance Movement Psychotherapy (10-Week Plan)
This 10-week session plan is designed to support embodied regulation and nervous system healing using Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP). Created for therapists working with trauma, stress, or dysregulation, each session focuses on sensory grounding, co-regulation, and expressive movement to help clients reconnect with their bodies and develop emotional resilience.
The plan includes structured weekly goals that guide clients through a progression of body-based practices, including breathwork, rhythm, interoception, movement storytelling, boundaries, and play. Techniques are drawn from Laban Movement Analysis and Bartenieff Fundamentals, alongside principles of polyvagal theory and trauma-informed care.
Each week offers:
A specific therapeutic focus
Suggested props and music
Reflection and regulation tools
Space for therapist notes and adaptation
This resource is ideal for Dance Movement Psychotherapists and other body-based practitioners looking to bring more depth, structure, and somatic safety into their sessions.

Why Trust Therapy Sisters?
At Therapy Sisters, we create every resource with care and integrity. As registered and regulated psychotherapists, we understand how difficult it can be to find ethical, evidence-based therapy tools in the public domain. With over 20 years of combined experience, we are trained in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Art Psychotherapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and EMDR.
We are committed to providing high-quality, ethical, and accessible therapy resources that align with professional standards. As HCPC-registered professionals, we uphold strict ethical guidelines to ensure that everything we create serves the best interests of both therapists and clients.
We know that not everyone can access traditional therapy, so we’ve put our expertise into developing tools that empower both therapists and the people they support. Our goal is to make compassionate, evidence-based resources widely available, helping more people on their journey to better mental health.
