EP.185 - Body Aware with Erica Hornthal, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Board-Certified Dance and Movement Therapist, Author 

Feel Good From Within with Yvette Le Blowitz - #SPAITGIRL Podcast

Erica Hornthal, know as "The Therapist Who Moves You" is a board-certified dance/movement therapist and licensed clinical professional counselor.

She is the founder and CEO of Chicago Dance Therapy and creator of the Dance Therapy Advocates Summit.

As a licensed talk therapist, Erica knows that words only get us so far.  Whereas, if we're willing to tap into its power, the body can take us the rest of the way as we process emotions and strengthen our mental health.

Erica is spearheading this movement by moving you.  Dance/Movement Therapy comes in, by providing the structure and space for people to truly listen to their bodies.

This practice isn't about being a perfect dancer and it's not just a way to let loose and have fun.  It's learning that movement is life, our movements influence our thoughts, which influence our behaviour, which makes us who we are.

Erica Hornthal is the Author of Body Awarea step-by-step journey how a mindful movement practice can slow down thoughts to lessen anxiety and panic and impact how and what we feel.

When we talk about movement, most of us think "exercise". But the way we move our bodies, how we walk, roll, dance, stretch, stretch, connect, and take up space - is about so much more than physical fitness.

Our movements impact our mental and emotional health and when we change the way we move, we can change the way we live.

Body Aware helps readers to learn and identify where they physically hold their emotions, understand and interpret their body's unique language, explore bodily sensations, identify emotional blockages and upgrade harmful thought cycles to patterns that instead foster resilience, emotional regulation, and productivity.

With a chapter on disability and movement diversity, Hornthal's guide begins to move dance therapy to a move inclusive, non-prescriptive space, helping each of us discover the kind of movement that works best for us.

Broken into three sections: "How You Move," "How Movement is a Catalyst for Change," and "Transforming Your Life Through Movement," Body Aware is a revelatory transformational practice and an easy-to-use introduction to the mind-body power of intentional movement.
