202: The “Non-Sexy” Somatic Practices That Lead to Real Healing with Courtney Kramer

Let’s be real… when you’re struggling with anxiety, panic, or feeling disconnected from your body, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of chasing quick fixes. But what if the real magic comes from the simple, not-so-flashy stuff?

In this episode, I’m joined by Courtney Kramer, an IFS and somatic therapist, and we’re talking all about the foundational tools that actually help... like observation, naming your emotions, tuning into sensations, and building a deeper connection with your body. You know… the things that seem too boring or basic to be effective, but are totally life-changing when you stick with them.

Courtney shares so beautifully about how slowing down, noticing, and reconnecting with yourself in gentle, sustainable ways can shift everything, especially when you’re used to being stuck in your head or fighting your emotions.

We chat about:

Why healing often feels slow, repetitive, and… kinda boring (and why that’s not a bad thing!)
What it really means to build a relationship with your body and emotions
How to use tools like the emotion wheel, sensations list, and observation in everyday life
Why pacing and permission are SO important when you’re doing somatic work
How these practices build safety, trust, and confidence over time

This conversation is full of validation, encouragement, and practical tools you can start using today, especially if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or stuck in your healing journey.
