In this episode of Anxiety Fitness, I sit down with Katherine Ripley, a somatic therapist from New York City, to explore the transformative power of somatic therapy. Our conversation touches on the challenges of confronting emotions, the significant role parents play in shaping our emotional responses, and the delicate balance required for healthy emotional expression. Katherine provides insightful perspectives on emotional maturity, the impact of emotionally immature parents, and the importance of reclaiming emotions like anger. We wrap up with practical advice on finding safety within ourselves and the therapeutic potential of somatic practices. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/anxiety-fitness-podcast .
