    Dancing with Discomfort: The Surprising Benefits of Play in Healing Trauma

    Hey there, welcome back to The AnxietyRX Podcast! I’m Dr. Russ, and today I’ve got a special guest, Chelsea Horton, who’s an amazing expert in body-based therapy. We’re going to chat about something really important: the connection between anxiety, trauma, and creative expression. We often think of therapy as just sitting and talking, but Chelsea and I explore why that’s not always enough. We’ll dig into how movement and play can really help us work through trauma. Chelsea also shares why hands-on learning is so crucial in therapy. We talk about the need to reconnect with our bodies, create a safe space, and empower ourselves in the healing process. It’s all about taking a holistic approach—mixing mind, body, and creativity for deal healing. So, grab a comfy seat and join us for this enlightening conversation!
