What if our anger is sacred? What if the rage we feel in our bodies, in our culture, in our Earth, is not something to suppress, but something to honor? This week, Mariana Garcia Flores and I sit again in the Garden of the Moon to invoke the presence of Kali, the fierce face of the Divine Feminine, and the part of us that says no more. We speak into the places where softness meets strength, where grief becomes action, where Yoga becomes the healing of the rift between Shakti and Shiva, within us and in the world. This conversation is not sanitized. It's raw, truthful, necessary. Kali is not here to be palatable. She's here to wake us up. To rewild us. To make our practice real. Subjects Explored The mythology of Kali and the archetype of feminine rage Dissociation and the violence of spiritual bypass Why embodiment is activism The pain of controlling Shakti and separating from Shiva What Yoga teaches us about sacred integration How feminine anger becomes a healing force Key Phrases or Quotes “Shakti is angry. And it is appropriate.” “Kali is here to destroy what needs to be destroyed.” “You don't separate Shiva from Shakti. You gather her.” “Your practice is making love with life.” “She's not killing people. She's killing the delusion.” “It is destroying what is not real.” Key Takeaways Sacred Anger is Real – Feminine rage is not dysfunction. It is sacred correction. Dissociation is the True Demon – When the mind leaves the body, suffering begins. Yoga is the Union of Opposites – Strength and softness, Shiva and Shakti, must be lived together. Receptivity is Power – To receive Shakti is the strength of true masculinity and humanity. Embodied Intimacy is Activism – When we inhabit our wholeness, we reclaim the world. The Feminine Will Not Be Silenced – This is not about gender. It's about life force refusing erasure.

When we think of autism, ADHD, or even trauma, we often place them in separate boxes, as distinct diagnoses with different treatment paths. But what if the reality is far more connected? What if complex trauma itself is a form of neurodivergence? What if masking, sensory overwhelm, and dissociation are not flaws to be fixed, but intelligent adaptations of a nervous system doing its best to survive? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Dr. Megan Anna Neff, clinical psychologist, author of Self-Care for Autistic People, and co-host of the Divergent Conversations podcast. Dr. Neff sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful, eye-opening conversation about the deep overlap between autism, ADHD, complex PTSD, and sensory processing challenges and why embracing this intersection is key to healing and self-acceptance. Together, we explore how trauma shapes the neurodivergent brain, why so many autistic women remain undiagnosed, and how dissociation and emotional shutdowns are often rooted in sensory overload. Dr. Neff also shares her personal journey of late-diagnosed autism and ADHD, and the life-changing reframes that helped her make sense of her body and nervous system. This episode is not about pathologizing difference. It's about honoring the body's wisdom, reframing trauma as adaptation, and understanding why a nervous system-first approach to healing is essential. If you've struggled with masking, emotional dysregulation, chronic dissociation, or a lifetime of “being too much” or “not enough,” this conversation offers a compassionate, grounded lens to view your experience, and new possibilities for healing. Topics discussed in this episode: ● Masking: the hidden labor of social camouflage ● Why complex trauma is a form of neurodivergence ● Sensory trauma, sensory overload, and emotional shutdowns ● Dissociation as a protective nervous system response ● The gender gap in autism diagnosis and late identification ● How trauma and neurodivergence co-shape identity ● Reframing emotional expression and interoceptive deficits ● Why top-down cognitive strategies often fail without nervous system work ● Somatic and sensory tools for nervous system safety ● Why self-acceptance begins with honoring the body's adaptations Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://www.neurosomatic.com/leadership Learn more about Dr. Megan Anna Neff's work: Website: https://www.meganannaneff.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurodivergent_insights/  Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

A few days ago, a colleague recommended I connect with Chris Barez-Brown.I listened to one of his talks on resilience — and a lightbulb went on.For the past 10 years, I've worked closely with leaders — many of whom attended boarding school. Over time, I've noticed a consistent pattern:Dissociation.Rather than feeling what's happening in the body, many retreat into their heads. Emotions are shut down. Sensations ignored. Connection severed.This is one of the key issues we work on because if we are dissociated we don't lead very well. Dissociation means a lack of emotional intelligence so we struggle to empathise with those we lead. Our communication is poor because it lacks vulnerability and honestyPeople model our actions - if we are pushing through burnout - they will follow.That's when the penny dropped.Because I realised — many organisations are teaching this.They're calling it resilience, but it's not.What's often sold as “resilience” is actually:Numbing your emotionsPushing through exhaustionTolerating dysfunctionIgnoring your burnoutThis isn't strength. It's dissociation.Real resilience, according to leading researchers, looks very different:Acknowledging stress — and honouring itFeeling your emotions — without being overwhelmedRest — knowing when and how to recoverCommunity — staying connected to yourself and othersPsychological safety — feeling free to be you, not just a performerIf we don't shift how we define resilience, the consequences are clear:More burnoutEmployees feeling broken for not being able to “push through”Cultures where emotion is pathologised rather than heldA leadership style rooted in blame, not responsibilityIt's time to reframe resilience — not as stoicism, but as compassion in action.Because when leaders model true resilience, workplaces heal. And when workplaces heal, people thrive.#LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceWellbeing #EmotionalIntelligence #ResilientLeadership #CorporateCulture #PsychologicalSafety #AuthenticLeadership #BurnoutRecovery #CompassionateLeadership #TheCompassionateExecutive--- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems.

Many people spend years in therapy and still struggle to feel truly safe in relationships. But why is this? The answer lies in the body. You can understand your trauma, but still feel unsafe. Oxytocin helps turn that understanding into actual feelings of safety in your body. Known as nature's most powerful anti-inflammatory, oxytocin plays a vital role in regulating the nervous system, forming secure connections, and shifting the body out of survival mode. In this episode, Dr. Aimie is joined by world-renowned oxytocin expert Dr. Sue Carter to discuss how this hormone holds the key to healing trauma, creating genuine safety, and forming secure connections. Dr. Carter has studied oxytocin for over four decades and reveals why this hormone is essential for moving from survival to thriving. In this conversation you hear why traditional talk therapy alone often falls short, how early life experiences program our capacity for connection, and practical tools for naturally increasing oxytocin to create a felt sense of safety in your body. You'll learn more about: How early attachment experiences shape your nervous system and relationships The difference between vasopressin and oxytocin in the stress response How trauma and chronic stress disrupt your ability to feel safe, even in loving relationships Why oxytocin is nature's “fire extinguisher” for inflammation and chronic illness Practical tools to support healing and regulate your nervous system And more! Whether you're a practitioner or someone navigating your own healing journey, this episode offers evidence-based insights into how your body creates its own pharmacy of healing hormones and why safety in relationships is the biological foundation for all healing   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Want to know more about the Safe and Sound Protocol mentioned in the episode?

This lecture provides a detailed overview of partnership law, beginning with the definition and essential elements of a partnership according to the Uniform Partnership Act. It explores the legal significance of profit sharing as evidence of a partnership's existence and discusses different types of partnerships, including general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships. The text explains how partnerships are formed based on conduct and outlines the importance of partnership agreements and default legal rules. Crucially, it covers the fiduciary duties partners owe each other, the authority of partners to bind the partnership, and the concept of joint and several liability for general partners. The lecture also addresses partnership property, the distinction between dissociation and dissolution, and examines several influential court cases that have shaped this area of law, concluding with a look at policy considerations, debates, and criticisms within partnership law.The four essential elements are: an association of two or more persons; who carry on a business; as co-owners; for profit.The sharing of profits is considered prima facie evidence of the existence of a partnership, creating a presumption that the parties are partners unless the profits were received under a different specific arrangement (like wages or debt payment).A general partner is personally liable for all partnership obligations, while a limited partner's liability is generally limited to the amount of their capital investment, provided they do not participate in the management of the business.A general partnership forms based on the conduct and intentions of the parties, not requiring a formal agreement or state filing. A written partnership agreement is optional but recommended, as it allows partners to customize terms and avoid the default rules.The duty of loyalty requires a partner to account for partnership benefits, refrain from dealing with the partnership adversely, and avoid competing with the partnership. OR The duty of care requires a partner to avoid grossly negligent, reckless, intentional misconduct, or illegal actions. OR The duty of good faith and fair dealing requires partners to be honest, candid, and fair in their dealings with each other and the partnership.Joint and several liability means that each partner is individually liable for the entire amount of the partnership's debts or obligations. A creditor can sue and collect from any one partner for the full amount, regardless of that partner's proportion of fault or investment.Yes, this action likely binds the partnership. Each partner is an agent of the partnership, and signing a contract for necessary office furniture is typically considered an action within the ordinary course of a law firm's business.Partnership property is owned by the partnership entity itself (e.g., a building owned by the firm), not by individual partners. A partner's personal property interest is in the profits and distributions of the partnership, not a specific claim on the physical assets.Dissociation occurs when a partner leaves the partnership, either voluntarily or involuntarily, such as through withdrawal, death, or bankruptcy. It does not automatically dissolve the partnership under RUPA.Meinhard vs Salmon established that partners owe each other a very high standard of fiduciary duty, described as "the punctilio of an honor the most sensitive," requiring utmost loyalty and full disclosure in partnership dealings.

"Things started to get hard...when I realized there were beauty standards," LJ told Renée. LJ was adopted from South Korea by when she was 6 months old. Growing up in Vermont, she found herself paradoxically situated between the progressive political spirit of the Northeast and its pervasive, problematic whiteness. LJ is a mental health counselor and smart as a whip, so she is able to explain beautifully the complicated intersections of her racial and sexual identity development. As she does, she and Renée discuss everything from fetishization to white fragility to how the state of Vermont is "inherently queer." LJ makes so many fascinating points that Renée almost forgets she is supposed to help her! Specifically, LJ came to the show wondering how to assert herself in conversations with invalidating friends and family; she is struggling to break the codependent pattern of worrying more about the other person's comfort than she does about herself. There are a lot of layers for Renée to cut through on the way to LJ's answer, and cut through them she does! The path is a little more abstract and nuanced than usual, which gets Renée even more excited than usual, leading to an ending that is just as exciting as usual. This one is heady in the best possible way.Support the show

In this powerful and grounded conversation, I'm joined by Brittany Piper, somatic practitioner, author, and global speaker on sexual violence prevention and trauma-informed care. Brittany shares her personal story of survival and her revolutionary body-first approach to healing, which invites us to gently reconnect with our nervous systems as the foundation of true recovery.We talk about why traditional talk therapy often falls short, how dissociation protects us, and why safety must come before story. Brittany also explains how somatic experiencing can help us reclaim power, rebuild trust with our bodies, and begin healing on a cellular level.This episode is for anyone who has felt disconnected from their body, overwhelmed by traditional healing paths, or simply ready to return to themselves with more compassion and curiosity.Connect with Britt:Website: https://www.bodyfirsthealing.com/Book: https://www.bodyfirsthealing.com/the-bookProgram: https://www.bodyfirsthealing.com/programInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithbritt/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healwithbrittTop Episode Quotes:“You are not broken—your body is brilliant.

In Lecture Two of the Business Associations series, we explored the core principles governing partnerships, one of the oldest and most flexible forms of business association.We began by defining a general partnership as an association of two or more persons who carry on as co-owners a business for profit. Importantly, no formal agreement or state filing is required — courts look to the conduct of the parties, especially profit sharing, joint control, and mutual intention.We discussed the different types of partnerships:General partnerships, where all partners share control and liability.Limited partnerships, which include general and limited partners (the latter with limited liability if they refrain from management).Limited liability partnerships (LLPs), often used by professional firms, where partners are shielded from personal liability for the acts of others.We examined fiduciary duties among partners, including the duties of loyalty, care, and good faith. Partners owe these duties to each other and the partnership, preventing conflicts of interest, self-dealing, or negligent conduct.Each partner has the authority to bind the partnership in the ordinary course of business, and all partners are jointly and severally liable for partnership debts and obligations. We explored how partnership property belongs to the entity, not the individuals, and how dissociation and dissolution are handled when a partner exits or the business winds down.Key cases like Meinhard v. Salmon emphasized the high fiduciary standards between partners, while National Biscuit Co. v. Stroud highlighted the authority of individual partners.We also explored doctrinal debates on modifying fiduciary duties by agreement, the rise of limited liability entities, and the balance between creditor protection and partner autonomy.Key TakeawaysPartnerships arise from conduct, not necessarily formal agreements.Sharing profits creates a presumption of partnership.Fiduciary duties govern partner conduct and protect the enterprise.Each partner can bind the firm in ordinary matters.Partners are personally liable for partnership obligations.Limited partnerships and LLPs provide liability protections.Partnership property belongs to the entity, not individuals.Dissociation does not always dissolve the partnership.Courts protect reasonable expectations and fairness among partners.Partnership law remains vital despite the rise of modern entities.

In 2008 Nathan Dunne was night swimming in Hampstead Heath in the middle of winter when a psychological catastrophe struck him. He felt his sense of self split in two, and an unbearable pain overtook him. He couldn't work out what had happened to him, and neither could the doctors.CW: This discussion contains sensitive mental health details and mentions suicide.Nathan was driven to attempt suicide, and endured years of misdiagnoses from doctors and medications that didn't work.Nathan didn't have the words to describe the confusion, pain and splitting of self he was experiencing.For years, water was the symbol of his undoing.When Nathan returned home to Australia and his parents' care, his mum gave him a copy of his grandfather's war memoirs.Here, Nathan found a link that showed him the healing qualities and the beauty that were possible in water.Eventually, Nathan found a doctor who could explain his symptoms and finally give them a name — depersonalisation.Further informationIf you need help, you can phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.When Nothing Feels Real is published by Murdoch Books.Read more about dissociative disorders and depersonalisation on the NHS website.Read about dissociative disorders and depersonalisation specifically in relation to young people on the Orygen website.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.

In the past what we have called an "awakening" may be more than just that. It just might be an initiation into a whole new way of living. In this teaching, I talk about initiations, what are they? How do you know you are having one? And how to go through one successfully without terminating the birthing process.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: The president of the United States somehow becomes an adjective attached to a “broadside,” a broadside that then “embroils” the South African president. This generates a mood, a mood of “tension.” And then comes a little action, sharing a video, but the video is only "echoing false assertions over white genocide." “Over” is just a weird space-filler, wrong choice of preposition there. Apparently, “of” would have left the line too short. But what is this “echo” of an “assertion?” Where was the assertion coming from that the video that the president of the United States played only contained a reflection of its substance?

In this extemporaneous Q&A episode, I address these questions: What is the responsibility of Buddhists to stand for what is right? What is the difference between the Buddhist goal of "detaching from clinging and aversion" and the pathological states of detachment from reality called "dissociation?" How would you describe the desirable level of overlap between shikantaza (the zazen of just sitting) and trance?

Trigger Warning:  This episode contains sensitive material about abuse, incest, and generational trauma. Please listen or watch at your own pace, and practice self-care as needed.    Episode Overview:  In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, Dr. Debi Silber speaks with author and advocate Babs Walters about the lifelong impact of childhood abuse, the burden of keeping family secrets, and what it truly takes to heal. Babs courageously shares her deeply personal story, tracing the effects of trauma through her family history—and how she finally found freedom and purpose in breaking the silence.    Key Themes Covered:  The Legacy of Abuse and Secret-Keeping Babs recounts her childhood experience of incest, the secrecy that surrounded it, and the emotional and physical toll it took on her body and relationships.  Dissociation and Survival As a child, Babs survived by dissociating and escaping into books—one of the few places she found hope and happy endings.  From Silence to Advocacy Her journey from secrecy to speaking out includes therapy, education, and eventually, writing her memoir. Her mission: to make sure no other child feels as isolated as she did.  Family Secrets and Their Lasting Damage The harm isn't just in the trauma—it's in the demand for secrecy. Babs explains how family systems force silence, and how that pressure keeps generations stuck.  Generational Trauma and Its Roots A shocking story about her father's childhood reveals the hidden trauma that shaped his inability to love, empathize, or protect his children.  The Healing Journey With over 45 years of therapy, programs like est (Erhard Seminars Training), and a commitment to self-growth, Babs shows that deep healing is possible—even decades later.  Breaking the Chain Despite being criticized by her children for her own “extreme” parenting, Babs is proud to have disrupted the abusive legacy passed down through generations.    Her Memoir and Mission:  Babs made a vow as a child to someday write a book that would let another little girl know she wasn't alone. That book is finally here—along with her advocacy work, speaking, and involvement with Brave Voices, a Library of Congress archive preserving survivor stories.  Notable Quotes:  “I made a promise to myself that one day I'd write a book so some other little girl wouldn't feel all alone.” “The pain was bad—but my self-talk may have been worse.” “Healing isn't a destination, it's a journey. And it's never too late to begin.”  Resources & Where to Find Babs:  Website: https://babswalters.com   Instagram: @babswalters    Resources & Links  Learn more about the PBT Institute   What Stage Are You In? Find out here   Want to bring the 5 Stages of Healing into your organization? Contact us about corporate programs   Explore our flagship program Reclaim   Become a Certified PBT® Coach/Practitioner    Final Thoughts from Dr. Debi:  Healing from trauma takes courage, community, and compassion. Babs is living proof that no matter your age or how long it's been, healing is possible—and your story has power. If you're keeping a family secret, know this: you're not alone, and you don't have to carry it forever.  Be sure to share this episode with someone who may need to hear it. And as always, take what serves you, leave what doesn't, and treat yourself with gentleness as you heal. 

I'm so thrilled to welcome Dick Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), back to the podcast, as well as my friend Ocean, who brings her voice and lived experience to this important conversation. Today, we explore the intersection between IFS and the plural community--those living with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and OSDD (Other Specified Dissociative Disorders). What's the difference between DI parts and the IFS parts many of us talk about? How can we bridge misunderstandings between the IFS community and those living with more distinct parts?  This conversation was deeply moving and healing. I'm so grateful to both Dick and Ocean for their honesty, wisdom, and compassion. In this episode, we explore: The differences and overlap between DI parts and IFS parts Why the plural community has sometimes felt unseen and misunderstood by IFS The harm in labeling parts as managers, firefightes and exiles The complicated relationship many survivors have with Self Energy Strategies for working with systems shaped by deep trauma Why trust, patience, and honoring every part is a prerequisite to healing   Be sure to watch the extended video interview with Dick and Ocean over on our Substack.    Favorite Quotes: “IFS was never meant to pathologize people. It was meant to honor the fact that all of us are multiple, and that those parts aren't what they seem.” — Dick Schwartz "There's a huge difference between saying, 'Your parts are managers, firefighters, and exiles,' and saying, 'I'm noticing some of your parts seem to be taking on these roles to protect you.'" — Ocean    About Tiffany "Ocean" Morgan Tiffany Morgan (Ocean) is a Certified IFS therapist, consultant, and educator with lived experience of OSDD (Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder). She specializes in eating disorders, complex PTSD, and dissociative disorders, and brings over 30 years of experience to her work supporting deep healing and system-wide trust. She is passionate about destigmatizing DID, neurodivergence, and the multiplicity of mind. She creates compassionate, inclusive spaces where all parts are welcome and seen. She also shares resources and reflections through her platform, tidesoftransformation.com, and co-sponsors the podcast A Couple of Multiples.

"Eating disorders are dissociative by nature. It's very difficult to be connected to your feelings while you're engaging in eating disorder behaviors. So it makes a lot of sense that people develop eating disorders as a way of keeping themselves as “safe” as possible." In this special episode, Abbie is joined by the incredible Monica Ostroff, a therapist and eating disorders specialist, to explore Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and its overlooked intersection with eating disorders. They also have a deeper conversation about the relationship between trauma and disordered eating. Monika shares her personal journey, detailing her experiences with anorexia and trauma, and how these experiences shaped her professional path in the field of eating disorders.  Listen to hear more about: The misconceptions surrounding DID  Trauma-related origins of both DID and eating disorders Taking a strengths-based perspective in recovery Trauma-informed approaches to treatment The complex relationship between trauma, eating disorders, and self-compassion Understanding our internal voices Using inner world tools for healing  The protective nature of eating disorders What it means to be gentle in recovery Addressing the challenges of worthlessness Coping with societal pressures surrounding body image Why healing is really about connection How we can show up for ourselves with kindness and understanding So much more! About Monika: Monika Ostroff, LICSW, CEDS-S is the Executive Director of the Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association, Inc (MEDA). Prior to leading MEDA, she directed several residential, partial hospital and intensive outpatient eating disorder programs in addition to having owned a thriving private practice.  Monika is the co-author of Anorexia Nervosa: A Guide to Recovery and a contributing author to Self-Harm Behavior and Eating Disorders. With more than 25 years of experience in the field of eating disorders, Monika has presented at many national conferences, taught at the university level, and appeared on many media broadcasts, publications & podcasts.  Practicing from a trauma informed, social justice and staunchly HAES® aligned lens, Monika is a dedicated ally and strong advocate working to ensure access to equitable, compassionate, and affirming care for all.
