Podcasts about Catharsis

We exist in a world of whispers, where we're constantly monitoring our volume, constantly worried about disturbing others. You're in your apartment, your house, your office - and the idea of just letting out a primal scream? It feels absolutely mortifying. While the world teaches us to suppress our voice, to stay quiet, to 'be appropriate'... ancient masters understood that your authentic sound carries the frequency of your soul's liberation. They knew that trapped in your throat chakra lies not just your voice - but your power to reshape reality itself. Think about it - when was the last time you actually let your voice go to its full power? When did you last express exactly what you were feeling without filtering it through 'what will people think?' We've been so conditioned to keep quiet, to be polite, to never be 'too much' that we've literally forgotten what our authentic voice even sounds like. For decades, this knowledge was hidden in expensive therapy sessions and exclusive spiritual circles. But what I'm about to share with you comes from the deepest levels of consciousness research, backed by measurable brain science, and validated by thousands of years of spiritual practice. Because here's what they don't want you to know: your voice isn't just how you communicate - it's how you create. And when you unleash its full power through the primal scream, you don't just release trauma... you literally activate dormant DNA, awaken kundalini energy, and step into a higher version of yourself. In ancient Greece, the Anastenaria rituals combined fire-walking with music and cathartic vocalization - they understood that sound could literally purify the soul and heal trauma. Tibetan monks have used singing bowls in their monasteries for over a thousand years, believing that pure karma produces clear, powerful tones while impure karma creates weak, distorted sounds. The Sufi mystics knew this secret too - their dhikr practices use rhythmic vocalization to achieve direct divine connection. Indigenous shamans across every continent - from the Australian Aboriginal didgeridoo healers to the Amazonian curanderos with their sacred icaros - they all discovered the same truth: sound is the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms.  

How does your protagonist's final choice resolve the plot, character arc and theme? In this episode, Stu and Chas focus solely on the final choices made by protagonists and how that reflects their character journey and successfully, or not, dramatises the internal. We compare and contrast different uses of narrative POV in respect to these final choices, in particular whether and when the audience is made aware of the options available to the character, the act of making the choice, and the consequences of the choice. We breakdown examples from DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES, FINDING NEMO, MICHAEL CLAYTON, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN and TALK TO ME.

Cora is a psychotherapist and an artist.She has been practicing art psychotherapy since graduating from Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in 2005. She obtained her California Marriage and Family Therapist license and Art Therapy Registration in 2010. She opened her private practice in 2010, and received her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D) in 2018.In 2006, she and her husband Ray opened Gallery Azul in San Pedro, named after their child, Harmony AZUL Vasquez. They initially opened to showcase their artwork, but then began to invite other artists. Gallery Azul enjoys holding group art exhibitions that focus on informing and educating the community.Cora was the first in her family — immediate and extended — to obtain a Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree, and a Psy. D (Doctoral in Clinical Psychology)."Art is an ever evolving and ongoing part of my life, it is my cathartic expression, and the place in which I sublimate any residual from my clients and the world." -- Cora Ramirez-Vasquezwww.instagram.com/galleryazulWebsite: galleryazul.com and coraramirezvasquez.com 

Tattoos have long been intertwined with culture, identity, and rebellion—but in recent years, they've also become the subject of deeper psychological inquiry, especially in relation to trauma. While initial reports highlighted that many trauma survivors turn to tattoos as a "coping mechanism" or "form of expression," feedback has made it clear: we need to go deeper.Rather than settling on surface-level generalizations, we should explore the psychological mechanisms that may drive tattoo acquisition post-trauma. One plausible hypothesis is that tattoos serve as a form of self-verification—a way to regain a sense of coherence and control over identity after it has been destabilized by trauma. For some, the permanence of ink provides a counterpoint to the impermanence of safety, love, or self-worth they've previously experienced.Another possible explanation lies in embodied cognition. Research suggests that physical alterations to the body can alter internal emotional states. For trauma survivors, tattooing—especially in areas associated with prior harm or vulnerability—may serve as a tactile form of emotional reprocessing. The pain of the needle itself may also invoke a cathartic release, aligning with studies on pain offset relief, which demonstrate how controlled physical pain can produce short-term emotional regulation.Of course, there's a key distinction to be made between correlation and causation. While studies, including one cited from Germany, have found higher incidences of childhood trauma among those with tattoos, this does not mean that tattoos are a direct result of trauma. Rather, they may reflect a broader set of behavioral patterns—risk-taking, identity exploration, or social signaling—that become more pronounced in individuals with unresolved psychological wounds.Additionally, tattoos may function as narrative anchors. Survivors of trauma often struggle to construct coherent life stories. Tattoos—especially those with symbolic or mythological resonance like Medusa—can help externalize these narratives, acting as visual milestones in one's journey toward healing or transformation.That said, it's crucial not to paint all tattooed individuals with a single psychological brush. Many people, including those who have never experienced trauma, are drawn to tattoos for cultural, aesthetic, or even spiritual reasons. Some celebrate the ritual of body modification as a form of belonging to tribal or ancestral traditions, while others simply enjoy the art.The cultural divide is real. Critics still associate tattoos with promiscuity, rebellion, or poor decision-making—sometimes in overtly misogynistic terms, as seen in comments labeling tattooed women as having a “high body count” or “self-identifying 304s.” These reactions say more about societal biases than the inked individuals themselves.Meanwhile, tattoo enthusiasts—many of whom have been getting inked since adolescence—often view the practice as a lifelong journey of self-discovery and connection. As one heavily tattooed commenter reflected, “One day I kind of asked myself, why did I start doing this?” That introspective question reveals the deeper layers behind a seemingly simple act.In the end, tattoos are not inherently trauma-linked—but for some, they become a canvas where pain, power, and purpose intersect. Whether you're drawn to the ink for healing, heritage, or purely for art, understanding the psychological undercurrents invites a more empathetic—and scientifically rigorous—conversation.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X or TikTok or LinkedIn @kingofpodcastsFind KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comBuy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcastsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.

Therapy, even in podcasting, is oftentimes seen as a way to exercise negativity or negative life experiences from ourselves. The truth is we can work through life by breaking down the positive moments as well. Matt's recent trip to Virginia Tech, seeing Metallica play, opened up a Pandora's box of catharsis. How often do we have life changing moments in our lifetime? Do we have the wherewithal to savor them as they are happening. Matt talks through his experiences in Blacksburg, and how it changed his outlook on life.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Breathwork teacher Jamie Clements joins me for an exploration into the real power of breath. We get into why most people are breathing badly, the science and dogma around breathwork (hello Buteyko and James Nestor), and how breath can be both a tool for healing and a doorway into altered states. We talk trauma — what breathwork can do, what it can't, and the fine line between deep release and emotional performance. There's some solid discussion on men's mental health, breath and sleep, psychedelic breathwork, and the difference between reaching in and reaching out. If you're curious about breathwork beyond the hype — and want something both practical and honest — this one's for you.

It's a brand new season and that means two brand new story theory principles to discuss! This time around, I'm studying the core event (aka a story's climax) and Melanie is studying progressive complications. The writers of THE BANK OF DAVE definitely poured some sugar on this genuinely sweet, feel-good movie. It's rock solid. As an added bonus, it also features Def Leppard (seriously!).

You know that feeling when you find a good mix? That little hit of satisfaction, like, yeah, that was time well spent. But then there are the rare ones—the mixes that hit just right, that feel like stumbling upon a new friend you just know you'll be spending a lot of time with. That's exactly what happened when we heard the latest Delayed with… mix from Toxido Mask. Toxido has been on our radar for a while, and for good reason. She's one of those artists who doesn't just play music—she builds entire worlds with it. From weightless ambient to brain-twisting halftime to relentless techno, she moves through sounds with the precision of someone who truly gets it. Every mix, every track she touches feels like it was put together with care, with intention. You don't just listen—you experience it. And this mix? You're gonna want to sit with this one. Or better yet, stand up—because the moment you hit play, you won't be sitting for long. It's DJing at its finest: sharp, fluid, and impossible to ignore. The flow is effortless, the energy is undeniable. One minute, you're locked into a hypnotic halftime groove; the next, you're riding a wave of rolling techno that hits in all the right places. It never loses its grip. You won't want it to. It's no surprise Toxido Mask holds down a residency at Tresor—she plays like she was born for it. But she's not just shaping dancefloors; she's shaping the scene itself, overseeing the artistic direction of OMM Transmission, the evolution of the Catharsis series. Some mixes are good. Some are great. And then there are the ones that stay with you. This is one of those. https://soundcloud.com/toxido-mask https://soundcloud.com/sisrahtac https://www.instagram.com/toxicmassk/ https://bandcamp.com/toxidomask Write up by @gilleswasserman Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 108 America is at a crossroads, and how it chooses may affect the fate of the entire world. Though there are different ways to conceive of the choice that lies before us, one is that we will have to choose between catharsis and civilization. It's unlikely we can have both, so this choice is incredibly important and deadly serious. If we choose catharsis, a sweet release of all our anger and frustration from the oppression and chaos of Woke Marxism, we will likely upset the balance required to maintain our civilization. If we choose civilization, we will have a real chance of climbing out of this, but we'll also have to swallow many of our feelings and restrain ourselves against our passions. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay offers a short introduction to this choice. Join him in choosing well. New book!

This week's scripture: Luke 1v39-55Advent opens with an emphasis on Jesus' return and the restoration of all things. It then ends with an everyday doing of God's will. This week Adam asks the question, are you animated by vocation? Reflecting on Mary's story, it becomes clear she had to be motivated by something other than her own will. How might God be inviting you to step toward vocation?

In this digital age, technology can connect us in ways we never imagined. In this week's episode, both of our storytellers share stories of the weird and wonderful ways technology created new opportunities and forged new relationships. Part 1: In an attempt to be seen as “cool” by his friends, Azhar Bande-Ali reaches out to the Steve Wozniak and invites him for coffee. Part 2: Don Picard can't stop using technology to keep tabs on his son. Azhar Bande-Ali is a storyteller who likes his tales with a side of laughs. His award-winning debut solo show, "Curry and Catharsis," presented at the NYC Fringe Festival, won hearts for telling an Indian story hyphenated by an American upbringing. As a former Moth StorySLAM winner, he obsesses over story structure that leaves plenty of room for silliness to highlight the complexities of the human experience. Don Picard has worked in the Boston area for 30 years as a software developer. He was a double major in Theatre Arts and Computer Science at Cornell, and chose to work as an engineer in order to be able to live in Cambridge and feed his family. Don enjoys telling live stories about his kids, husband, and extended family as it is fun, therapeutic, and allows him to exercise the other half of his college degree so he doesn't become bitter.  Learn more about your ad choices.

If you weren't learning how to carve intricate designs in sourdough bread in 2020, odds are, you might have been learning how to make pottery. And while this is true for today's guest, Tim Clark, that wasn't all. Tim also was learning how to make pottery and navigate the rest of life after a spontaneous tear of the retina left him half blind. There seems to be quite the thru line for many of us finding pottery as a therapeutic thing, but Tim has taken this one step farther, in starting the Blindfold Challenge to help raise awareness and frankly, a bit of money, for an amazing cause called the Fun Eye Fund. In this episode, we talk all about that plus how Tim has found the Blindfold Challenge cathartic in ways he didn't expect and his new endeavors into creating art that's accessible not only for us sighted humans, but equally enjoyable for those in the blindness community.Resources in this Episode:Tim Clark on InstagramThe Fun Eye FundLove this podcast?

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! Today we are bringing back our conversation with beloved author, Elizabeth Gilbert, whose memoir "Eat, Pray, Love" sparked a global conversation about the power of personal exploration. In our conversation, Elizabeth shares her wisdom about navigating the ups and downs of the human experience and opens up about the importance of confronting difficult emotions head-on, rather than running from them.  She also discusses the universal nature of suffering, reminding us that every generation grapples with life's challenges in their own way. Yet, within that struggle, she highlights why you should see suffering as one of the greatest gifts that life can give you. So, whether you're in the midst of a life-changing journey or ready for a spiritual awakening, this conversation with Elizabeth Gilbert is a must-listen. Healers and Heal-Liners Why do women almost have to die before they decide to change their lives? No generation or human will be spared suffering or hardship. Suffering knows where you live, and one day you will get a knock on your door and receive just what you need. What will you do with your suffering? Pain is a conduit for transformation, learning, and growth only if you do the work. Catharsis doesn't happen automatically just because something painful happens to you. Don't ever waste your pain. Boredom is often a cover for anxiety.
