ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What if the path out of anxiety isn't through your mind… but through your body?
In this episode of Make It a Great One, Dr. Dan sits down with Chelsea Horton, somatic coach, educator, and founder of Healing Embodied, who shares the profound difference between living from our heads versus living from our bodies.
Together they explore why so many of us become trapped in overthinking, perfectionism, and performance, and how reconnecting with our bodies can unlock safety, presence, and authentic self-expression.
This episode dives into the limitations of traditional talk therapy, the role of somatic practices in emotional healing, and how learning to feel safe in our bodies can unlock growth, resilience, and freedom. Chelsea also guides listeners through a simple embodiment exercise that demonstrates how shifting from the mind to the body can create immediate relief and clarity.
If you've ever felt stuck in anxiety, overwhelmed by self-criticism, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers practical wisdom and hope for finding your way back home.
