Chelsea Horton - Somatic Coach, Educator, And Founder Of Healing Embodied

Author: Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. June 23, 2026 Duration: 42:44

Are you stuck in a loop of "thought-feeling fusion," where your anxiety tells you that your racing thoughts are the absolute truth?


In our latest episode, we sit down with somatic coach Chelsea Horton, founder of Healing Embodied, to discuss why healing requires more than just talk therapy. Chelsea reveals how to move past the mind-body split and use your innate creativity to transform anxiety into a tool for self-discovery and safety.


In this episode, we explore:

  • Anxiety as Creativity: Why your anxious mind is actually a brilliant creative force—and how to redirect that energy toward healing.
  • Beyond the "Talk": Simple somatic techniques to ground yourself when trauma or stress keep you disconnected from your body.
  • Building Safety: How to move away from "thought-feeling fusion" and start trusting your body's wisdom again.


Whether you're a practitioner looking to deepen your clinical work or someone ready to get out of your head and into your body, this conversation is your guide to a more grounded, compassionate life.

Mental health isn't a monologue; it's a conversation we're all having, whether quietly with ourselves or openly with others. On Your Mind is that conversation given a voice, hosted by clinical psychologist Dr. Timothy J. Hayes. This podcast moves beyond abstract theory to explore the practical, human side of psychological well-being. Each episode features candid discussions with practitioners who are actively guiding people through their struggles, focusing on tangible strategies for building resilience and achieving a sustainable sense of wellness. You'll hear from therapists, counselors, and other experts within the Journey's Dream community, sharing insights that are as applicable to personal growth as they are to professional development. The dialogue is grounded in real-world experience, offering perspectives on navigating anxiety, improving relationships, fostering emotional fitness, and redefining what it means to be truly healthy. It’s for anyone who has ever asked themselves the question in its title-whether you're seeking support for your own journey, supporting a loved one, or simply have a deep curiosity about the inner workings of the human experience. Tune in for a thoughtful, accessible exploration of the mind, where complex ideas are broken down with clarity and compassion.
