In this episode, Heather Sutton, MA, LPC—somatic counselor, Dance/Movement Therapist, and chair of Naropa's Somatic Counseling program—explores the healing intelligence of the body through somatic therapy and dance/movement counseling. Drawing on more than twenty years of clinical practice and her leadership in adaptive movement, Heather shares her journey from dancer to therapist and clarifies the distinctions between dance/movement therapy and body psychotherapy. She explains why not all experiences have words—and how movement helps us navigate difficult emotions, reclaim safety in the body, and stay with sensation long enough to learn from it. Heather also explores real-world applications of somatic counseling, the nuances of Naropa's two somatic concentrations in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, the central role of emotional attunement in therapeutic relationships, and how embodied practice fosters resilience, presence, and transformation. Special Guest: Heather Sutton.

Licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance/movement therapist Erica Hornthal (“The Therapist Who Moves You”) joins Aaron to explain how changing the way we move changes the way we feel. Recorded on November 3, 2025, the conversation grounds movement therapy in the realities of Chicagoland life: financial pressure, screen-driven immobility, community trauma in Highland Park, and heightened anxiety around recent ICE activity across the North Shore. Erica shares practical, accessible ways to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and communicate nonverbally when words are not enough.Key TakeawaysMovement is already part of therapy: posture shifts, breathing, pacing, and small gestures can be therapeutic starting points.We have “out-evolved” our natural instinct to move; immobility amplifies anxiety.Stressors show up differently across communities. Whether it is public-safety trauma or fear tied to immigration enforcement, the body stores that stress.You can change your state by changing your movement, even with simple, seated interventions.Nonverbal work helps couples and families de-escalate conflict and build empathy.Parents can meet kids' energy with movement rather than suppression, then teach time-and-place skills.Research supports dance and movement as effective for anxiety and depression; therapy fit and relationship still matter most.Practical access: look for “somatic,” “body-oriented,” or “creative arts therapy” in your area; insurance coverage depends on the clinician's license.Timestamps00:00 Intro to Erica and dance/movement therapy02:00 What movement therapy looks like in practice04:50 Why Erica wrote “BodyTalk” and how readers use it08:15 Why we feel so stressed today, and how immobility feeds anxiety10:45 Local context: Highland Park trauma and recent ICE activity on the North Shore12:30 Changing movement to change mood and cognition15:15 Treating the “snake bite” before debating the “why”16:00 Individual vs group work, and what movement builds between people17:35 Getting over discomfort and starting small20:40 A simple intervention: washing hands slowly to interrupt anxiety22:20 Working across ages: from 3 to 10726:15 Coaching kids and meeting their movement needs31:30 Nonverbal communication in relationships and negotiations35:00 “Embodied listening” and the limits of AI for mental health39:30 Walks, showers, and why ideas arrive during movement42:00 Using your body as a free mental health resource43:00 Finding somatic or creative arts therapists and dealing with insurance46:45 What the research says about dance, anxiety, and depression49:00 Where to find Erica and her books50:00 ClosingPractical Exercises MentionedSeated reset: notice shoulders, jaw, feet; slow your breath and lengthen exhale.Pattern interrupt: pick one daily action and do it slowly for 20 seconds (example: handwashing) to downshift intensity.Conflict pause: step outside or to separate corners, walk, then reconvene.With kids: “shake out the wiggles,” go outside for 60 seconds, then return.GuestErica Hornthal, LCPC, BC-DMTFounder and CEO, Chicago Dance TherapyAuthor of BodyTalk, Body Aware, and The Movement Therapy DeckWebsite: https://www.ericahornthal.comPractice: https://www.chicagodancetherapy.comInstagram: @thetherapistwhomovesyouEmail: erica@hornthal.comResources MentionedBodyTalk: 365 Gentle Practices to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your BodyBody AwareThe Movement Therapy DeckSearch terms for local care: “somatic therapy,” “body-oriented therapy,” “creative arts therapy,” “dance movement therapy,” plus your city.For Listeners in ChicagolandIf anxiety has spiked for you or your family due to recent events in the region, consider brief, daily movement check-ins.

"Wir haben genug Abba gehört" – erzählt Ora the Molecule in einem Interview über ihre Anfänge als DJ. Die scheinbar immer gleichen Playlists auf den Parties in Oslo versucht sie mit ihren eigenen Vorstellungen aufzumischen und beginnt so letztlich selbst Tracks zu bauen. Inspiriert von den Sounds der 70er Jahre und Disco-Größen wie der Italienerin Raffaela Carrá, hat Ora the Molecule nun ihr zweites Album "Dance Therapy" veröffentlicht. Sie ist Norwegens Disco-Queen! Ora the Molecule hat in der Band von Hubbabubbaclub die Synthies gespielt, ihre Tracks mischt Prins Thomas. Jeder kennt sich in der kleinen norwegischen Szene, in der Nora Schjelderup konsequent versucht etwas anders zu machen: die Disco-Vibes wieder auf den Dancefloor zu bringen. Während auf dem Vorgänger unklar war, ob Ora the Molecule eigentlich ein Trio ist, oder die Solo-Vision von Nora Schjelderup, wurde mit der Zeit immer klarer, das es sich um letztere handelt. Im Gegensatz zu ihrem Debüt ("Human Safari") verkörpere "Dance Therapy" also vielmehr ihren eigenen, futuristischen Dance Style. "Es fühlt sich an, als wäre das nun mein Debüt", erklärt Schjelderup, die sich ihr eigenes Studio in einer Hütte außerhalb von Oslo eingerichtet hat und was sie zum Beispiel im Track "Becoming Ora" direkt thematisiert: "I moved into a cabin / Into the woods / Cause I was devouring the world around me / I wanted to be everything at once / I wanted to be everywhere / And I loved everyone."

Hello Pole Dancer and welcome to another episode of Science of Slink. This week we are joined by a special guest, Dr. Cat Liang, Psy.D, who studies dance therapy. She has just published a great research article, The use of dance and movement for the embodied healing of interpersonal trauma in women and girls. We will be discussing her findings in her research and what movement therapy can heal.  We talked about dance therapy and how when movement and joy are incorporated into your healing practice, specifically for healing trauma, students have a greater retention rate. This means that when we incorporate joy into the healing process, we can associate our trauma with new feelings and move past it rather than sitting in it more easily. We also see that people are more dedicated to taking a long healing path because the healing modality being used is bringing us joy beyond just healing the trauma, but also our relationship with our bodies as a whole while enjoying the process.  The key findings of Dr. Cat's research ia that through dance therapy people's physical ability increased including but not limited to strength, flexibility, and mobility. She also found that their emotional capacity increased and there was a mind, body, and integration. This helps to push past dissociation and creates a sense of safety, allowing them to process in a safer and empowering way. When dance therapy was done in groups, people felt empowered in the community and people felt more safe with others including outside of the dance circle. Last but not least, people had lots of fun which helped people get out of the slump of reliving trauma and into a place to explore the emotions and needs of our bodies and minds.  Dr. Cat's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drcatliang/  Slink Through Strength Email Sign Up: ⁠http://eepurl.com/iimjnX⁠ Join pole instructor & personal trainer Rosy Boa as she chats with experts about the evidence-based practices you can introduce to your pole journey to improve your pole journey and feel better.
