Amanda Mitchell - Moving Toward Connection

Author: Molly Coeling November 23, 2021 Duration: 57:17

"You're experiencing your everyday life in your body already. Sexual trauma is a trauma to the body already. So it's with you. Learning how to connect to your body and understand it and feel connected to it as a supportive part of yourself can be a really important part of the journey. With some of my clients, we don't move; we just connect to the body as a resource in other ways."

 

Amanda Mitchell is the Founder and CEO of InTouch & Motion, a creative arts therapies and psychotherapy practice in Chicago that supports uniqueness and creativity as integral to the healing process. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist that has worked with those impacted by violence and trauma for over 11 years, including at sexual trauma centers, in a prison, with individuals and families involved in the foster care system, with veterans, and most recently in private practice for the last 5 years.

Hosted by Molly Coeling, Beyond MeToo: Healing the Wounds of Sexual Trauma moves the essential conversation from public reckoning to personal restoration. This space is dedicated to the often quiet, ongoing work that follows speaking out-the complex journey toward wholeness. Each episode explores practical pathways for healing, considering both the inner landscape of recovery and the outer systems that impact it. You’ll hear candid discussions that frame healing as an active, multifaceted process, integrating perspectives from somatic practices, mental wellness, and community care. The podcast serves as a companion for those navigating their own path, offering not just solace but tangible frameworks for resilience. It’s a collection of shared stories that highlight strength in vulnerability, emphasizing that recovery is not a linear destination but a series of deliberate, courageous steps. By focusing on the ‘what comes next,’ this series builds a bridge from trauma to a renewed sense of self, acknowledging the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of the experience. Tune in for a thoughtful, grounded dialogue that honors the hard work of healing while exploring actionable alternatives for moving forward, individually and together.
