In this episode, Rebecca speaks with Chelsea Horton, dance/movement therapist and CEO/founder of Healing Embodied, about how our bodies carry past relationship stories and why they sometimes trigger fear even in healthy partnerships. They explore the epidemic of therapist burnout, tracing it to both exploitative systems and childhood survival patterns where helping professionals learned to override their own needs. Chelsea shares how somatic work helps people put accurate timestamps on old pain, recognize nervous system responses in real-time, and build capacity to feel safely again.
They discuss why genuine therapeutic relationship, not blank slate neutrality, creates real healing - the therapist's authentic humanity matters as much as their techniques.
Chelsea offers programs including her year-long accredited somatic coaching certification, the Embodied Leader Mastermind for purpose-driven leadership, and Wholly Human, a community-based program for experiencing emotions as art to be expressed rather than problems to solve.
