Key Takeaways

• Movement is the origin and expression of all psychological experience
• Your early developmental movement patterns created the thought stories you're running today
• The rhythm that soothed you as an infant is still your nervous system's language
• Small shifts in posture, gesture, or movement create massive changes in thinking over time
• You can't heal a body you hate, but you can heal a body you feel neutral about

What if everything you think is actually rooted in how you move?

You're not stuck because you're thinking wrong. You're stuck because you're moving wrong. The way you learned to walk as a toddler created thought patterns you're still running today. The rhythm that soothed you as an infant is still your nervous system's language. Your posture right now is reinforcing the exact story you're trying to change.

This isn't about exercise. It's about understanding that your body holds the blueprint for every pattern you can't seem to break. And the smallest shift in how you move can completely rewire how you think.

Today's guest is Erica Hornthal, a licensed clinical professional counselor, board-certified dance movement therapist, and author of Body Aware and Body Talk.
