About this episode
"There's always a reason why you feel how you feel, and if you tell yourself that you shouldn't feel that way, that doesn't function or change anything... I think that the whole therapy model is deeply flawed, and that's not talking $hit to any therapist. "
It felt like the right time to say some things I don't think enough people are saying. In my work, and in the way I look at healing childhood wounding, clearing trauma, and creating real transformation, I see the same misapplications over and over. People take true, powerful concepts like karma, or teachings from Buddhism, or "just do your inner child work," and apply them so black-and-white that it actually keeps them stuck instead of setting them free.
In this episode, I'm getting into why feeling your feelings is a skill nobody actually teaches you, least of all in a therapy program (mine never mentioned trauma once, in a full master's in counseling psychology). I'm also saying something I don't think enough people are willing to say: how screaming and crying your way through a breathwork session, or doing plant medicine without integration, can become its own form of avoidance.
This is the paradigm shift I'm building my work around, and I wanted you in it with me.
