D- DANCE THERAPY
- Dance/Movement therapy is the psychotherapeutic use of movement as a process which furthers the emotional, cognitive, social and physical integration of the individual. (7)
- DETOXIFICATION THERAPY
- Detoxification relies on the body's inherent ability to cleanse itself if given the opportunity. The process of detoxification therefore involves three aspects: initiating the cleansing process with a program that avoids toxin intake; facilitating elimination of waste products; and easing back into a healthier diet and lifestyle with rebuilding the body's nutrition. (10)
- DIET
- Diet plays a central role in a person's overall health, but achieving a good diet is not as simple as it sounds. Eating the right foods no longer insures proper health due to over-farming the land where food is grown (causing nutrient loss), excessive food processing, the use of additives and other chemicals, and toxins contaminating the food supply. Therefore, it is important to pay attention not only to what foods are eaten, but also to how that food was grown before it reached the table. (4)
- DRAMA THERAPY
- Drama therapy combines techniques from drama and theater with techniques from psychotherapy in an action-based method that helps people find solutions for social and emotional problems. This creative arts therapy helps people improve their sense of self-worth by discovering their own inner resources and by learning how to function better in groups. (17)
- DREAM THERAPY
- Dream therapy is the use of dreams and the dream state to accomplish physical and emotional healing. It involves both the interpretation of information obtained while dreaming and the active participation in the dream process through a technique called lucid dreaming. The various processes associated with dreams have been put under the generalized term of "dreamwork". (3)
