Before we can speak our pain, our bodies have already carried it – which means, often, talking through trauma isn’t enough.

This week on Mastering Change, we sit down with Erica Hornthal, licensed clinical professional counselor, board-certified dance/movement therapist, and author of Body Aware and the brand-new BodyTalk. Known as “The Therapist Who Moves You,” Erica explores how trauma lives not just in memory, but in muscle tone, breath, posture – even stillness.

Drawing on years of somatic practice, Erica helps us understand why talk therapy alone often isn’t enough – and how movement can offer a direct line to regulation, relief, and reconnection.

“The body holds the story before we can speak it.”

We explore

  • What dance/movement therapy really is
  • How trauma shows up in subtle physical habits
  • The difference between expressive movement and embodied awareness
  • Why stillness can signal stress
  • How movement can become a language for healing

Whether you're a trauma survivor, a therapist, or someone feeling disconnected from yourself – this episode is a reminder that healing isn’t just something we think through. It’s something we move through.

Moment of Care: This episode discusses sensitive episodes related to trauma, mental health and potential distressing experiences. If you feel triggered at any point, please take a moment to check in with yourself and seek support.
