Freak School 1:1 Intensive: Claim Your Permission

PRACTICES:

• Ask yourself: why do you heal?
• Make it safe to not be safe.
• Do a height check before engaging in these practices. Do you know what a yes or a no feels like in your body? When you do, how liberated is your throat around your truth? Can you speak it? How do you respond when someone has a tornado in the face of your truth? How anchored can you remain?
• Let your fantasy inform your reality by allowing your imagination to be present in it.
• Fill out feedback sheets after scenes.
• Negotiate aftercare and integration before a scene.

IDEAS:

• Pearls of beauty are often found in the depths of darkness. There is grace and beauty in places that feel scary.
• If we wholeheartedly believe something doesn’t exist, we won’t look for it.
• Night vision is needed when looking into dark depths; you have to see beneath the surface.
• When you meet in a place of darkness where society’s rules can’t hold, you drop deeper and the heart can crack open.
• Healing is becoming more okay with who you naturally are.
• Everyone carries desires related to BDSM; we often don’t give ourselves permission to find something hot.
• A strong goal orientation can become oppressive.
• You don’t need to figure out exactly what you’re healing—don’t turn healing into recess homework.
• You have to trust that your desire will reveal its fruit to you.
• We live in a society full of ideas about what sex should look like.
• Therapy often tries to move you away from recreating traumatic experiences, away from what hurt you. But what if part of healing is going into it differently?
• We will hurt each other without meaning to; restorative repair is essential.
• There are often gendered stereotypes within “conscious sexuality” communities.
• This is healing work. If we can deepen intimacy when we’re naked, we can deepen intimacy when we’re clothed.

-GUEST BIOGRAPHY-

Kara Latta is a Play & Mindset Coach and the founder of The Playful Warrior, a platform focused on helping high-achieving individuals overcome perfectionism and reconnect with their authentic selves through play.

PRACTICES:

• Soothe your body with gentle touch or self-talk to shift out of fear and return to a calm, logical state.
• Reassure your mind by gathering real-world examples that show taking risks, like being visible online, is survivable.
• Treat action as a playful experiment where trying, failing, and learning are all part of the process.
• Understand that being seen online is an important step toward growing your business.
• Mute people who discourage your self-expression and show up for the version of you that once needed permission to be free.
• Each month, choose one or two activities that generate income and genuinely light you up to stay aligned and energized.
• Start each day by tackling one important task that moves your work forward.

IDEAS:

• Perfectionism is not about thinking you're perfect, but about never feeling good enough and using that to avoid judgment.
• As children, we often learn to value getting things right over expressing ourselves, which leads us to adapt in order to belong.
• Play helps us reconnect with our true selves and heal perfectionism by making the process more important than the outcome.
• Doing things that are aligned doesn't always feel easy, and challenge can still mean you're on the right path.
• When someone judges you, it usually reflects their own limitations or fears, not your value, and you can choose to respond with compassion.
• If you're being fully authentic, some rejection is inevitable, and if you're not being rejected at all, you may be hiding parts of yourself.
• Achievement that comes from play builds trust and self-love, while perfectionist achievement is driven by fear.
• Letting go of where you think you should be allows you to honour your own timeline and path.
• Perfectionism can also show up in healing, so it's important to offer yourself compassion instead of expecting to do personal growth perfectly.

PRACTICES:

• Get comfortable not knowing the answer. Let mysteries stay mysteries longer than feels comfortable.
• Use systems to make sense of the work.
• Explore different frequencies so you can tune in with others.
• Model joy to give others permission to do the same.
• Do this work in community and with wisdom keepers who have gone before.
• Let people go through phases of grasping and longing.
• Use challenges as learning opportunities and ways to grow.

IDEAS:

• The drug war shaped harmful ideas about medicine and drugs. We can break free from those paradigms.
• Drugs can be used to escape, and sometimes that is necessary.
• Instead of saying "recreational use," say "celebratory use" to emphasize life and connection.
• Try to be in right relationship with these substances.
• Drugs often lead to deep experiences of love.
• We are souls beyond what can be named with words.
• Recognize and honor Indigenous cultures that use plant medicines and carry important knowledge.
• Drugs are not cures. They help us face limiting beliefs and allow us to feel more deeply, both pain and joy.
• These medicines often make you feel worse before you feel better. You have to break things down before rebuilding.
• These medicines are spreading during a critical time in human evolution. Help is coming from many places: plants, animals, fungi, even labs.
• Things once considered shameful deserve to be accepted as they are. Shame can also be a way we try to feel safe and belong.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) views us as made up of many inner parts, each with its own voice, needs, and memories. These parts often form to protect us and reflect our deeper human needs. When these protective parts are gently acknowledged and allowed to step back, we can access a deeper essence within us known as the Self. Through this process, IFS helps us understand what blocks our vitality and guides us back to our true nature.
