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.
