Amanda Mitchell - Moving Toward Connection

Beyond MeToo: Healing the Wounds of Sexual Trauma

“You’re experiencing your everyday life in your body already. Sexual trauma is a trauma to the body already. So it’s with you. Learning how to connect to your body and understand it and feel connected to it as a supportive part of yourself can be a really important part of the journey. With some of my clients, we don’t move; we just connect to the body as a resource in other ways.”

Amanda Mitchell is the Founder and CEO of InTouch & Motion, a creative arts therapies and psychotherapy practice in Chicago that supports uniqueness and creativity as integral to the healing process. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist that has worked with those impacted by violence and trauma for over 11 years, including at sexual trauma centers, in a prison, with individuals and families involved in the foster care system, with veterans, and most recently in private practice for the last 5 years.
