Wednesday, 5 August, 2026
In this episode of The Body Grievers® Club, Bri is joined by Dr. Danica Harris, a counseling psychologist turned somatic experiencing practitioner and co-owner of a trauma-informed group therapy practice, to explore how Pilates can support body-based healing, strength, and mobility. They discuss rebuilding a relationship with movement after burnout, chronic pain, hypermobility, and the pandemic, including grief around changing body size, lost privilege, and internalized ableism. Bri and Danica encourage listeners to get curious about what their body needs today—even if it's rest. 03:47 Somatic Healing And Body Image 07:18 Privilege Loss And Scarcity 09:58 Movement Shame And Pandemic 14:10 Finding Pilates In 2024 18:20 Rest Burnout And Ableism 26:31 Pilates As Home Base 28:44 Flexibility Over Urgency 31:11 Alignment And Strength 34:22 Finding The Right Studio 43:08 Healing Unsafe Feelings 45:15 Real Life Wins EPISODE RESOURCES Episode 19: Body Pain Is Not Punishment Superfit Hero Athleisure wear https://superfithero.com/ WANT MORE OF DANICA?
