In this episode of The Right Therapist, somatic psychotherapist Chelsea Herbert explores grief, trauma, nervous system healing, and the transformative power of softening into emotion rather than resisting it. Through conversations around Internal Tracking, body-based therapy, voice work, and wilderness practices, Chelsea shares how reconnecting with the body can help us move through pain, rediscover self-trust, and return to a deeper sense of aliveness and connection.#Somaticpsychotherapy #internaltracking #griefwork #body-basedtherapy #embodiedtherapy #emotionalhealing #traumaintegration #feltsense #creativeexpression
