Ep. 11 Self-Compassion, Guilt & Growth: The Somatic Path to Healing with Erica Horowitz
Manage episode 485149597 series 3659468
In this episode of Healing Doesn’t Have to Be Heavy, host Angie Berrett is joined by somatic practitioner Erica Horowitz for a rich, heart-centered conversation about the power of movement, emotional regulation, and the journey back to self.
Together, they explore the deep connection between trauma and the body, sharing personal stories that illuminate how dance, stillness, and somatic practices can serve as powerful tools for healing. Erica introduces her RESET framework, a grounded, compassionate approach to regulating the nervous system and reconnecting with the body.
The conversation touches on:
- The role of movement in processing emotions
- How co-regulation and community play a vital role in healing
- Releasing guilt and embracing self-compassion
- The tension between rest and a productivity-driven culture
- Honoring your body’s wisdom as a guide to self-discovery
This episode is a gentle, insightful invitation to pause, breathe, and come home to your body, because healing doesn’t have to be done alone, and it certainly doesn’t have to be heavy.
