On this episode of UNSCRIPTED we have the privilege of bringing on licensed therapist, somatic psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner, Inertia Dewitt (MFA, MA) to discuss Cultural/Identity Abuse and how it shows up in dance. As a dancer herself with ample experience in this industry, this is a conversation worth listening to! This is an important form of abuse to discuss because it is not one that is talked about enough, especially for how often we see it. 

After listening to this episode you may want to connect with Inertia and her brilliance! Here’s where to find her:
