    Returning to Your True Self with Corrie Van Horne, LPC, of Reverie

    This week on the Evolve Your Path podcast, we’re stepping into the luminous world of Corrie Van Horne (she/her)—LPC, EMDR-trained therapist, Reiki master, queer healer, and founder of Reverie, a radical therapy practice rooted in liberation, embodiment, and deep remembering. Corrie believes therapy is a kind of alchemy—a sacred, sovereign space where pain transforms into power, where disconnection softens into embodiment, and where joy, magic, and wholeness are reclaimed. In our conversation, we explore what it means to heal not through “fixing,” but through remembering who we’ve always been. Together, we walk through: ✨ Corrie’s path to Reverie - The moments that cracked something open, the healing that reshaped her work, and the vision behind the name “Reverie” — a space where possibility is alive. ✨ Radical healing, community, and attunement - How therapy becomes a portal for authenticity, connection, and liberation… especially for LGBTQ+ folks navigating identity and belonging. ✨ Corrie’s three-phase model: Soul Healing, Self Attunement & Aligned Action - A powerful framework for moving from trauma to truth, from remembering to embodiment, and from clarity to courageous action. ✨ Liberation, identity & justice-oriented healing - How holding multiple identities informs Corrie’s lens — and how we can all begin releasing internalized shame to reclaim our most liberated selves. ✨ Embodiment, ritual & daily practices that anchor us - including joy and rituals that sustain Corrie beyond the therapy room — from slow mornings to alpine lakes, skates, and her beloved dog Roxy. None of us are meant to navigate healing alone. Corrie reminds us that when we soften, attune, and step into relationship—with ourselves and with each other—we access a deeper magic. A remembering. A return. If you’re craving clarity, courage, or a way back home to yourself… this conversation is a portal. Learn more about Corrie and Reverie:https://www.reverie-co.com/ Listen now and step into your wholeness—one breath, one truth, one moment of reverie at a time.
