The Promoting Effect and Practical Path of Environmental Dance Therapy on Mental Health

Abstract

The fast-paced modern society is accompanied by multiple pressures such as workplace competition and interpersonal alienation, and mental health issues have become increasingly prominent, becoming a social concern that cannot be ignored. And environmental dance therapy - this emerging intervention method that interweaves the agility of dance art, the profundity of psychology, and the warmth of environmental science - is quietly blooming with unique healing value. This article will start from its theoretical foundation and explore how it uses body rhythm as a pen, emotional expression as ink, and environmental interaction as paper, step by step outlining the internal logic of promoting mental health. It extracts practical paths such as integrating natural scenes and designing personalized plans, and combines relevant practices to verify its effectiveness in emotional counseling, self-awareness improvement, and social support enhancement. Research has shown that environmental dance therapy can improve psychological states through multidimensional interventions and provide innovative pathways for mental health services. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen interdisciplinary research and standardization construction, and promote its application in fields such as healthcare, education, and community.
