Why Grief Doesn’t End (And Why That’s Okay) | The Right Therapist

In this episode of The Right Therapist, somatic psychotherapist Chelsea Herbert explores grief, trauma, nervous system healing, and the transformative power of softening into emotion rather than resisting it. Through conversations around Internal Tracking, body-based therapy, voice work, and wilderness practices, Chelsea shares how reconnecting with the body can help us move through pain, rediscover self-trust, and return to a deeper sense of aliveness and connection.#Somaticpsychotherapy #internaltracking #griefwork #body-basedtherapy #embodiedtherapy #emotionalhealing #traumaintegration #feltsense #creativeexpression Show Notes (with timestamps) 00:00 – Opening Reflection on Grief & Softening 01:23 – Introduction to Chelsea Herbert 01:42 – Chelsea’s Path Into Therapy 05:00 – What Is Somatic & Experiential Therapy? 06:31 – Working With Sensitive & Creative People 08:52 – Ease, Joy & Emotional Expansion 10:00 – What Is Internal Tracking? 11:30 – The Accident That Changed Everything 15:00 – Learning to Receive Support 16:20 – How Internal Tracking Sessions Work 20:00 – Protective Parts & The Wisdom of the Body 23:44 – Therapy as Self-Trust, Not Dependency 25:38 – Grief, Softening & Negative Capability . 31:25 – Voice Work, Creativity & Expression 38:24 – Wilderness Therapy & Vision Quest 40:46 – Outdoor Therapy & Nature as Co-Therapist 43:00 – Closing
