During times of stress, uncertainty, or shutdown, our minds often run nonstop, but our bodies hold the truth. In this episode, Cristin explores the healing power of movement through Kinesthetic Cognitive Therapy (KCT), a therapeutic practice developed by dance therapist Erica Hornthal that connects body awareness with emotional regulation and cognitive healing.

Whether you consider yourself a dancer or not, this conversation reminds us that movement is medicine. It’s not about choreography — it’s about allowing the body to say what words cannot.

Reflection & Integration Prompts

What emotions might my body be holding that my words haven’t released?

When was the last time I moved simply for joy?

What does my body need today? Rest, rhythm, or release?

How might I integrate small movements (walking, stretching, dancing) into my daily routines as acts of self-care?

What message might my body be trying to send me right now?
