This dissertation asks the core question of its selected participants: How do we move defense mechanisms? In particular, in this study, how do we move denial, dissociation, and projection? Specifically, how do those three defense mechanisms physically move through us as habitual and spontaneous postures, gestures, and patterns of breath and body movement? Movement of these defenses are explored and analyzed in this qualitative study with an attitude of curiosity as to their origin and expression.Three small separate groups of participants each met over the course of a long weekend. Group 1 explored denial, Group 2 explored dissociation, and Group 3 explored projection. The participants in each group were individually interviewed a few days after the weekend study and asked core questions about their experience. Group 1 had three participants; Group 2 also had three participants; and Group 3 had four participants, including one person that had also taken part in the Group 1 study.The research and accompanying interviews were all filmed and edited into a 3-part documentary film. The film includes a comprehensive introduction, movement exercises, group discussions, one-on-one interviews with each participant and additional archival footage and music. Hyperlinks to the film's three sections on how denial, dissociation, and projection move are offered within the text, bringing the movements of the participants to life and elucidating their meaning for the reader. Still photographs taken from the source footage for the film are also included throughout to clarify how exercises were done and provide additional documentation of results.The 5Rhythms® movement practice, created by Gabrielle Roth (1989, 1997, 2004), was employed as a way to elicit and organize the participants' ways of moving their bodies. Hermeneutic phenomenology is the methodology used to analyze data including filmed movement exercises, group discussions, and individual interviews. The theoretical foundation for the study rests on Assagioli's (1965) psychosynthesis, a pragmatic psychological approach that encourages acceptance and integration of all parts of the self. The research shows that participants' movements and words in this process can embody and enliven a psychological strategy, potentially bringing greater awareness to seemingly unconscious ways of being.
