    Episode 57 - Passivity As A Means to Healing
    Apr 26 2023
    We are used to needing to push forward and produce or “work on” things, even in therapy. Healing, however, occurs when we become passive. It is something we receive, rather than being something we make happen. In order to become passive, we have to feel a sense of safety.

    Episode 56 - Therapy as A Collective Meditative Experience
    Mar 2 2023
    Silence/contemplation/meditation are paths to healing. Our organisms (bodies) are usually bent on helping us avoid difficulty and keep us feeling “put together” in our environment. If we become “meta” to ourselves and the responses, then we have opportunity to encounter ourselves and things we have been avoiding and make some shifts in our responses. We need to feel safe and connected to do that.

    55 - We Are Who We Are in Response to Our Environment
    Feb 22 2023
    As organisms (bodies), we respond to our environment automatically without conscious awareness. The ways we do this make up various parts of our experience as humans and even form elements of what we think of as our personalities. We tend to think of these responses as “problems,” but there is no reason to pathologize or judge these adaptations that are useful in helping us survive and regulate ourselves. We need to become present to them and take a neutral stance to understanding the way our organisms organize themselves in our environment. Just notice the ways you have adapted.
