Podcasts about intellectualizing

#157: On today's episode, Han sits down with Isaac Hindin-Miller, a fashion journalist turned DJ, interviewer, content creator, and founder of I LIKE YOU!, for an honest conversation about external validation, low self-worth, negative self-talk, and the lifelong work of learning how to feel whole within yourself.Isaac and Han unpack the realization that no amount of attention, achievement, access, popularity, or external approval can fill an internal void. They discuss what it actually takes to rebuild your self-esteem, interrupt destructive thought patterns, stop outsourcing your worth, and choose peace and acceptance instead of constantly chasing happiness. They get into:Why external approval can never create lasting self-worthWhy happiness cannot be contingent on external validationChoosing acceptance and peace instead of chasing constant happinessNavigating imposter syndrome and self doubtHow to interrupt cruel and destructive negative self-talkThe problem with finding validation elsewhereDepression, sobriety, and breaking cycles of self-destructive behaviorThe connection between low self-esteem and unhealthy coping mechanisms Social media, comparison, and attaching your value to your workIntellectualizing trauma instead of allowing yourself to feel itWhy understanding your emotions is different from actually feeling themHow choosing a different behavior can lead to a healthier mindsetFinding identity, hobbies, and joy outside of your careerHow relationships act as mirrors for the parts of ourselves that still need healing& MORE!This episode is for anyone who has ever looked outside of themselves for proof that they are worthy, lovable, important, or enough. This is a conversation for those doing the daily work to quiet the voices that tear you down, and learning to build a sense of self-worth that does not depend on attention, accomplishments, or validation.

Cold openWelcome to the Treatment Funhouse…First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at a chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… something… different in your miserable life.[Brief music]Suddenly he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you he grabs a blowtorch…[music]IntroThis is AutisticAF Out Loud, Season 7, episode 1.

And writing a neurodivergent autobiography… out loud.Content note: Mentions abuse, trauma, suicidality... and dark humor.Just one autistic elder's voice. Raw.3 fragments from my free archive, autisticaf.me… I'll tell you more at the break.[music]Welcome to the Treatment FunhouseBeing trapped in the medical model of autism for decades?Imagine an elaborate carnival funhouse… the kind that's a maze. You gotta find your way out. But…This one's got a horror theme.The sign outside… “23 Mirrored Rooms That Will Change Your Life… Forever!”Never saw that before.So you stand in the long wait line. That, naturally, doubles back on itself. Many times.Finally, you belly up to the barker's ticket window. Start to scan the price board.“125 bucks?” You cry out.“You wanna change yer life, kid? Whatchya think it would cost?”So you sigh. You think…You need… different. You fork over.First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at the chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… well, something… different in your miserable life.Suddenly, he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you, he grabs a blowtorch.You see this scene reflected in all the mirrors. In detail. Enhanced by all your grisly memories.You protest. “What the actual fuck.”“Trust me. This is the latest research. Sure as hell gonna change your life.” That smile. Thin. Cold. Professional. “We got paying customers outside. Lined up. Waiting to get inside. You in… or out.”You reflect on your miserable life. You nod.Then he slowly, methodically works you over. A light burn here. Another there. Starting at your feet. Working upwards.You scream. You cry. You plead. You evade. You bargain. Not a word out of Jumpsuit Guy.And… the only way you can block out the terror reflected in those mirrors?Close your eyes…He finishes. He unshackles you. Helps you up as you tremble. Guides you efficiently to the door.“Next room. Room of Knives. Yer gonna love it,” he laughs.“Just 22 to go.” Leans in… conspiratorially. Whispers in my ear…“Wait til the Meds room. Everybody talks about the Meds Room.”Beat.“If you make it there.”musicInterludeOkay, then. A fun little… metaphor. Now… some dark reality. Family… and professionals… tossed off what I was going through in my late teens as “immaturity.” Something I'd age out of. Totally ignoring all the red danger flags of the coming disaster.Quick side note. Some folks wrote you couldn't read articles. Multiple platform problems… demands you subscribe… pestering friends, even if they used a“free” link.I heard ya . So, I built my free personal archive at autisticaf.me. No paywall. No ads to piss ya off. All free & shareable… on me.You'll find more pieces like this next one… there. — The Autistic Treatment Funhouse, Room of ExamsThey Called It Immaturity. They Missed Everything.Content note: This is the tough one I mentioned. With the brutal flowers.Look, first of all… This is not the beginning of a poor-me story.This is a story of how I found moments of joy… and darkness… in my autistic life. Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”But I found dark humor... every where.1972 was a hell of a summer… Room 1I first sought a diagnosis at 19. Following suicide attempt #1.I was driving after dark. Which I wasn't supposed to do… new family rule.See, I'd damaged our car the week before, making a hasty turn into our driveway near Jumping Deer Road in Katonah. Hit the damn stone wall on the way in.This was Westchester County, NY. Local code only allowed a nano break between the 18th-Century stones guarding our yard. Colonial heritage or something… masking slave labor.I'm in the doghouse. With parents already skeptical about letting me go to college. Not “mature” enough.Yet, when the hood and fender are finally fixed? They drop me off on a muggy, hazy June night. Out in the boonies at the old Amawak Service Center on Route 202.“Pick it up and bring it home. No side stops.” Then they instruct me, “Be… careful.” Rolling their collective 4 eyes.I pull out, then wait. The light's gotta change at the 4-lane intersection with Route 35 before I can head home.The light turns green. I go into a weird space in my head. There's… there's some reason I shouldn't turn left… yet… But I watch myself shrug, flick my signal switch, and turn. Right into two lanes of accelerating traffic coming right at me.Don't remember much more. Just the red, don't-turn-yet-idiot arrow. Staring at me brightly… through the windshield that used to be there.I survived. That classic, white 1965 Mustang… didn't. Barely street legal, 271-horse V8 under the hood. Maybe the most collectible American car of all time.A hand-me-down gift to our family from my father's father. Who bragged, “I had to jew the dealer down from 5 grand,” back when he bought it new in '65. A lot of money then.Um, things got tense at home.“You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.”Parental meeting time.“Uh, I don't know what happened.” I couldn't stand these “meetings.” So many in my childhood. This was maybe the worst of all.“I don't know. It… it... just happened.”Making my parents even more furious. These were avid Ayn Rand readers. And my grandfather? He slept beside an orderly nightstand. Mein Kampf tucked tightly in its tidy drawer. My dead father's voice echoes coldly in my mind still. “You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.” But, I stumble on. Making things worse… in my way.“Something's wrong. I don't know what. I'm having horrible visions. Hitting people with the car as I drive by. Hitting their bodies… bones…” I trail off. Into stony silence, I say, “And now something weird happened. I think… I think… maybe I should see a doctor…”Next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of a Westchester County caseworker. Cuz my parents felt a psychologist or private therapist cost too much.I had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.The intake experience was horrific.I felt… badgered.She called it… delicately. “Maybe the accident looked like an attempt to… maybe… harm yourself?” But she continued with a sledgehammer.“I know you have a secret you want to tell me.” Rinse, repeat… Rinse, repeat…I wanted so badly to please her. But had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.Worse yet? There were things I didn't want to tell her. Darker than the physical or sexual abuse she was probably check-listing. Things a traumatized kid might do… himself.I never went back. I told my parents I was uncomfortable talking to her.My dad rocked back in his dark, maple, Early American dining room chair. “Fine. That's your choice.”He paused. Looking directly at my mother as he said to me, “I can see you won't speak to this counselor. I see no reason to look for another for you to talk to. Your decision.”And that was that.We were all dying for freedom.Finally at 63, a psychologist specializing in autism gave me another name, Alexithymia.He said a lot of autistics can know something is wrong. But not know what. And baptized me, Autism Spectrum Disorder… with a side of ADHD.2016 was a good year. A damn fine year.But 1972 was a summer from hell.The last US troops shipped home, fleeing Viet Nam. Palestinians massacred Israelis at the Olympics. My father died that August. The week after he molested me for the last time.We were all dying for freedom.[music]Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.InterludeOkay. Here's the last frag I toss… today. Let's end with joyful moments. Among the dark. Let's end with survival.See, I'm giving you these fragments of my life…Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.And this is part of me, too…[music]I Don't Think I Had a “Personality” as a KidI was busy finding Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg…This one brings home the stakes.The moments of joy along the way… that drew a line under what could have been. Not if they fixed me. But maybe what all of our children could be.If we just listen to them. And support what they say they need.“What are you doing…?”My mother's voice was sharp.I'm lying spreadeagled on the backyard grass, face down.“I've called you three times.” Annoyed. “WHAT are you doing…?”I don't know it in Second Grade… But I have difficulties shifting attention when I'm lost in thought…I try to focus my ears…Then think back,review my short-term memory,and replay the last few moments.Trying to hear and translate anything she might have said while I'm in my private thought bubble…Already at 7, this process of “rehearsing” or “rewinding the tape” to interpret what's going on? It's an automatic, constant routine when I'm around… well, people.Checking for verbal mistakes, missed cues… Just trying to understand, what's going on…?So I'm still trying to sort it out,choose words carefully to explain,clearing my throat,moving my sleeping tongue,loosening my jaw,getting ready to speak…“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”“Umm… Nothing…?” Close as I come to a lie at that age.I've been lying in the grass for an hour or so, exploring with my new magnifying glass.See, there was this great hobby shop in Johnson City. It had all kinds of cool science “toys.” And I had saved my 50-cent allowance for weeks to buy a “Real, hand-held, magnifying glass  —  made with ALL-METAL handle!!”I was entranced.Examining grass leaves, dew drops, and…Ants.Dozens of ants. One after another.Legs.Antennae.Mandibles.Eyes.Guiltily burning off the occasional leg with focused sunlight…Endless fascination…I was in the flow…“Okay. Whatever you are doing…” I wait for the command I know will end my timeless bliss… “Stop doing it. It's time for lunch.”I sigh. Roll over.And. Trudge. In.Hardly sounds like abuse, right…..??Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed… when you don't have to get up…My autistic joys are hard to explain to another person.Pretty much ANY non-autistic person.And trying to… drags me into Deep Philosophical Waters…Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed on a lazy Saturday morning when you don't have to get up…And someone screams, “GET UP!”Eyes pop open. Instantly. You're so startled, for a minute… you have no idea where you are, what you're doing, the time of day, the season…Now… imagine that… if you can…Every. Damn. Day. Many, many, MANY times a day… Every single day of your childhood.Torture.Being startled out of the flow? It's like that.Capisce? Ya dig? Feel me?That's as close as I can think of to explain my moments of autistic flow.Or, better yet, my autistic joys.That same joy you seeon an autistic kid's faceas he dances endlesslyin a sprinkler in the sun…If I had to guess, this is precisely what Being in the Moment, in the Now, maybe even Zen Satori…Mean.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer…Now, that's all preamble to what I really wanna talk about…Here's the deal on Flow…I think that's where I spent most of my time as a young kid.When I wasn't interacting with family, a few schoolmates, parents, one teacher a year… the few humans I let into my life back then.And that time alone… Endlessly exploring, learning, feeling, being… was…Wordless delight.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer… further and further and further apart… nearly gone…First, I was forced into a school system… That I was clearly not wired for.Rigid.Lockstep.Regimented.Regulated.BORING.No Free Time.To simply… explore.Later, of course, it got MUCH worse. Jobs, relationships, finances… Life in Modern Adult America.Like when I founded Unix World magazine. I was so high on the concept and the joy of process… My inner vision won us awards our first year. Western Publishing Association Best New Publication and Best Issue. Beating out Macworld and PC World.Yeah. We won awards. A couple months after I was fired from my own mag. Fired because… in my autistic mind… the game was Create the Most Amazing Publication… Ever.But the whole time, the world was shouting that it was Make the Most Money You Can… Right Now.Snake eyes. I lost.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of… fascination.Now, I have some personal speculation to get off my chest.First… I don't think I had a native personality when I was a kid…At least not as bell-curve average humans understand a personality.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of fascination. No motivations. No intentions. No (verbal) thought…So… I was either happy exploring in the fields… or with my chemistry set in the basement… or catching polliwogs in Spring pools…Or I was forced to don my “personality.”In other words,the language,facial expressions,body language,polite responses,social lies,and predictable actionsthat humans think of as “personality”…and that social contact demands.Which is so natural for most humans, they aren't even aware of it.Even though they must have it from me… to feel safe.But, for me, “personality” was likebeing dragged out of my comfy pajamas,forced intothe worst, most cumbersome, restrictive, awkward, embarrassing winter coat,ear muffs,muffler,heavy snow boots,and mittensyour mother ever stuffed you intoto shove you onto that bus to kindergarten…And “personality” still is suffocating. Today. In my 70s. Ten years after diagnosed as autistic and ADHD.Especially, “fun times”… They're the real killers.Parties.Intimate conversations…Shudder... Family holidays? So nightmarish, I wrote the 7-page narrative poem sneaking my mother's creepy g-d on high.These are all times I must adopt my “personality.” You know, to survive. No matter how much “fun” they're supposed to be.What pros call “masking”? Really nothing more than exhausting habits of behavior & speech. That I must shroud myself in. Like an embalmed mummy. Just so it's easy for other humans… to feel “comfortable” around me.Not an essential Self. Just, ya know, “personality.”Certainly not me. Nothing comfortable about it.I'm going to hazard a guess.Which may be narcissistic delusion… Flow seems awfully close to what the Buddha described as experiencing “no-self” vs. the “conditioned mind.”From at least age 2 on, I clearly remember lucid dreaming and long periods of time spent without verbal thought of any kind. Just perceiving, in awe and wonder…EVERYTHING.Until I had to interact with humans. Any humans. Even those I was required… to “love.”And donning the “personality”? The joy collapsed. Fast as a quantum waveform when you try to measure it. Not into pain…Collapsing into an all-absorbing effort.Intellectualizing every word,gesture,tone of voice of my own…Then interpreting all those of each and every human I was with at the time…and THEN determining precisely the right word,tone of voice,facial expression,and body attitude to project back…all at the same timeTo avoid being in trouble.Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second…And even at a young age, a growing sense of the need to protect others…From me.Because I was different. Because I hurt people without understanding. Because I acted as if I were “arrogant”… etc., etc.Like two divorces. Cuz I could be amazing for 3 to 6 months. Caring. Fun as hell. Then fall into deep depressions and work burnouts. Cuz I couldn't handle that much intimacy. Hell, that much time alone with another human…Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second… That I am with another human.Except very young children. And of course, animals… Since I was… 4 years old.Now since diagnosis, I found a few tricks.In 2019 when I first started writing about my autism, I was all about lists. Trying to “help” others. Took me a year or two to realize we are… every one of us autists… different. Different lives. Different needs and goals. Different survival skills.So I'm only an “expert” on my own life. Even if I am the only expert on that there is.Your mileage certainly will vary.But for me? My autistic life is not about “getting better.” Or fixing me. It's about knowing who I truly am. And what I truly need. Doing what I can to meet those needs.Then being… me.So I moved to the Country…Living in the trailer across the courtyardFrom my third, loving wifeWhere I can reduce sensory overload.Reduce the number of humans I talk with To only folks I feel comfortable around.And stopped failing at jobs I was never built to do.But I… now… can pursue those things that have brought me joy since childhood.Spending unstructured, unmeasured time on any of my passions…walking in the wildest Nature I have access to,baking bread,fermenting pickles,gardening,deep-focus while replaying a favorite movie… that seventh time,illustrating,writing,playing music,researching world events….so, so many others.When I pursue a “special interest”… alone? Sometimes it's nearly orgasmic… In fact, I've redefined my understanding of my passions.They're not a forbidden pleasure. A shameful quirk. Something I “waste time on” when there's nothing more important to do.They are my gateway to Bliss, Satori, Oneness… Maybe even whatever God is… or Isn't…I'm not talking toxic positivity. My autistic joys aren't some advanced spiritual state I've achieved in my 70s. And now, suddenly… I'm here to tell you how to make everything okay. And talk you into buying your 5th NEW self-help system on the way out the door.But my joys are moments of love and happiness sprinkled through most of my days. Between meltdowns and burnouts. And some average life.They are my reason for Being.There are just NOT 7 Easy Things that Successful Autistics Do…That Will Change My Life Forever.There's just living complex… and in the end… wild autistic life.being old & autistic ain't so bad.losing inhibitions.some of which protected me from…Life.freedom turns out to be pain…and joy…in superposition.until maybe they annihilate you.Notes from the bardobefore the bardoI learned a lot that Spring afternoon on the lawn in Johnson City.I saw Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg.And, eventually… I went for it.[music]OutroNow you know.

If you've ever been told you're 'too emotional', struggled to process an emotion or let things go, overthought every situation or tried to act unbothered while your body says otherwise - this episode is for you.In this episode, we break down what emotional processing actually is - because replaying conversations, analysing every possibility, venting to everyone around you or trying to think your way out of an emotion isn't processing. It's often another form of avoidance.We explore why emotional regulation isn't about never getting triggered - it's about building the capacity to pause, regulate your nervous system & choose how you respond instead of reacting from survival.We also discuss why suppressing your emotions disconnects you from your body, intuition & even positive emotions, how trauma, people pleasing & gaslighting teach us to distrust ourselves, and why learning to accurately identify what's happening in your body is one of the most powerful skills you can develop.This episode will help you stop living in your head, reconnect with your body & finally move through your emotions instead of carrying them.Because when you learn to process your emotions:you trust yourself instead of questioning everythingyou respond instead of reactyou stop carrying unresolved emotional weightyou create healthier boundaries & relationshipsyou feel calmer, clearer & more emotionally resilientFeeling your emotions isn't weakness.Stop suppressing. Start expressing.Timestamps:03:40 Why the 'unbothered' trend isn't emotional regulation05:00 What emotional processing actually is07:00 Overthinking is underfeeling - wontrolling it with your mind is not processing.11:40 Emotionally overwhelmed vs Emotionally avoidant coping mechanisms16:00 How your body wants to express Emotions to prevent burnout & nervous system dysregulation20:00 Are you self-aware or are you avoiding your emotions by Intellectualizing them?25:00 Masculine & Feminine energy in emotional regulation29:00 My 4-step framework - Pause, Regulate, Express & Release32:00 Hypervigilance, people pleasing & emotional reactivity41:20 Identifying Emotions & building InteroceptionThe Health Hun InstagramClick here to book a free call with OrlaThis episode covers: emotional processing, emotional regulation, emotional suppression, overthinking, nervous system regulation, embodiment, intuition, interoception, trauma healing, people pleasing, hypervigilance, self-trust, burnout, boundaries, vulnerability, emotional resilience, feminine energy.

#153: On today's solo episode, Han opens up about one of the hardest seasons of her life and the question she's been asking:What actually makes life worth living?Despite experiencing the most success she's ever had in her career, Han shares why she's simultaneously been navigating one of the darkest chapters of her personal life. She reflects on returning to therapy, her experience with MDMA-assisted therapy, healing from complex trauma, and why she believes so much of our suffering comes from resisting life's inevitable dualities rather than learning to hold them.This episode is an honest conversation about mental health, depression, healing, fear, and learning to find freedom even when life feels uncertain. Han explores why happiness can actually feel more frightening than pain after trauma, why control keeps us stuck, and why true healing begins the moment we stop trying to escape discomfort and start embracing life's gray areas.Han gets into:what actually makes life worth livingwhy success doesn't always equal happinessreturning to therapy and pursuing deeper healingMDMA-assisted therapy and reconnecting to your bodyintellectualizing your emotions vs. actually feeling themaccepting life's dualities instead of resisting themlearning to live in the grayperfectionism, overachievement, and the need for controlwhy happiness can feel scarier than traumaexploring happiness after traumafinding safety outside of your identity as someone who has sufferedletting go of the stories you've had to carry to survivewhy avoiding discomfort creates more sufferingthe truth behind fearwhy trying to escape fear becomes its own prisonnavigating depression through acceptance rather than avoidanceletting go of control and choosing freedom over certaintywhat it really means to build a life worth livingHappiness as a brave choice& MORE!This episode is for anyone who is having a hard time accepting the dualities of life.

#148: On today's episode, Masha Kay, nervous system regulation coach, jumps on the podcast to unpack the deeper psychology behind high achievement and how it's a tool for nervous system regulation. Han shares her Substack (linked here), which opens a conversation into what it actually means to heal beyond just intellectualizing your patterns and explore how many ambitious people use work, achievement, and constant productivity as coping mechanisms to avoid feeling, and how protector parts developed in childhood can continue running our lives long after we no longer need them to survive.The girls get into:productivity as a coping mechanism & form of emotional avoidancewhy high achievers struggle to slow downnervous system regulation, trauma healing, & somatic healingwhat “parts work” actually isprotector parts & how they try to keep us safe from feelings that once weren't safe to experiencewhy intellectualizing your healing is not the same as embodying itdissociation, overwhelm, & constantly needing to stay busyreconnecting to the body & learning how to feel below the neckwhy healing can actually feel unsafe for the nervous systeminner child work, emotional suppression, & survival strategieshow ambition and achievement can become trauma responseswhy awareness alone doesn't always create transformationlearning how to feel instead of avoidthe difference between numbing and true healingLearning to surrender to the process of healing& MORE!This episode is for anyone who feels they may be using productivity and achievement as a form of emotional suppression or avoidance, anyone feeling frustrated in their healing journey despite being “self aware,” anyone pursuing trauma healing and looking into nervous system regulation, or anyone wanting to better understand parts work, protector parts, inner child healing, and what it actually means to feel instead of intellectualize.CONNECT BELOW:follow Masha ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out her program hereCONNECT with HAN:follow Han ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow HOW I SEE IT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow Han on Substack herewatch HOW I SEE IT on YouTube hereshop the podcast merch ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠work with Han: howhanseesit@gmail.com00:00 – Introduction02:44 – Productivity addiction & high achievers using work to cope03:58 – Achievement as nervous system regulation04:47 – Why ambitious people struggle to be with themselves07:54 – Productivity as emotional avoidance08:41 – Work, avoidance, & disconnecting from feeling09:13 – What are “protector parts”?09:41 – Understanding parts work & internal family systems12:46 – Why healing can feel blocked16:15 – When the “high achiever” part takes over healing18:31 – How protector parts keep us safe20:14 – Awareness, observation, & compassion in healing22:35 – Dissociation & living outside the body27:35 – The inability to stay present with feeling32:40 – Intellectualizing vs actual self awareness36:44 – Anger, discomfort, & emotional control37:58 – Observation creates separation from emotion39:39 – Beginning somatic experiencing41:32 – Reconnecting to the body through orienting52:55 – Why slowing down is harder for high achievers1:00:00 – Numbing vs actual healing1:05:37 – Building ambitious lives to avoid pain

https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2026/04/22/bodyshadow/I recently had the immense pleasure of sitting down with Jungian analyst Erica Lorentz to discuss her profound new work, Body is Shadow: Jung's Method of Embodied Healing. Many intellectually gifted and highly sensitive individuals often live very much “in our heads.” This conversation was a vital reminder of what happens when we bridge that gap between our soaring intellects and our physical, felt experiences. We concluded with the idea that wholeness requires us to bring the shadow into the light of our physical awareness. It was a reminder that for the highly sensitive person, your greatest vulnerability—your deep receptivity—is also your greatest path to healing. I hope this conversation encourages you to treat your body not as a secondary thought to your mind, but as a wise partner in your journey toward integration.  About EricaErica Lorentz, M.Ed., L.P.C. is a Jungian Analyst (IAAP) with forty years of clinical experience. Since 1988, she has lectured and taught classes and workshops throughout the US and in Canada. She has been a training analyst since 1998 (presently at the C. G. Jung Institute of New England). She does individual, couples, and group work. While she has a deep and varied clinical background, she is deeply interested in what dreams, emotions, physical symptoms, and the inner imaginal realms are trying to teach her clients. She believes that anxiety, depression, anger, compulsion, illness, PTSD, etc. are all the body/psyche's way of drawing our awareness to how we need to grow. Erica's training and personal experience with verbal and non-verbal/embodied processes enable her to facilitate access to and understanding of the conversation between our conscious and unconscious, and between our body/mind/soul.Erica's Website: https://ericalorentz.com/The book: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Shadow-Method-Embodied-Healing/dp/1800134061Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/eggshelltherapy_imilo/ Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

What happens when loss isn't just one event—but becomes your entire reality? In this deeply emotional and raw coaching session, Christine works with Tiffany, who has experienced an overwhelming series of losses in a short period of time—losing her father, her longtime partner, her beloved pet, her home, and a major part of her physical body through surgery. When grief stacks like this, it doesn't just feel heavy—it can begin to feel like your new normal. Tiffany shares how she feels untethered, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. Even with a background in personal growth and healing work, she finds herself in survival mode—struggling to feel grounded, supported, or clear on her next step. Christine offers a compassionate reminder: grief isn't something we're meant to process alone. Before trying to "figure it out," we need to be held, supported, and allowed to feel what's real. This episode is a powerful invitation to slow down, honor your grief, and recognize that healing begins with being witnessed—not fixed. Press play to experience what it looks like to be held in the middle of deep loss—and why that may be the most important step forward.    Consider / Ask Yourself Have you experienced multiple losses that left you feeling overwhelmed or untethered? Do you find yourself intellectualizing your pain instead of fully feeling it? Are you trying to "figure out your next step" before fully processing your grief? Do you have a safe space or support system where you feel truly held?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Grief compounds when multiple losses occur close together, often pushing us into survival mode. Intellectualizing pain can create distance from the emotional processing we truly need. Healing grief is not a solo process—we need safe, supportive containers. Being "held" emotionally is just as important as any tool or strategy. Sometimes life strips everything away so we can reconnect with who we truly are.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on whether you've given yourself permission to fully feel your grief. Notice where you may be detaching or "clinicalizing" your emotions. Seek out supportive spaces—whether through community, friendship, or professional guidance. Practice being with your emotions rather than rushing to fix or solve them.   Resource Mentioned in This Episode Good With Money Workshop with Kate Northrup Christine shares a powerful resource for healing your relationship with money—especially if you feel stuck in survival mode or unsupported financially.

It's way too common for therapists to feel confused and frustrated with their model. Many counselors feel like their models work for some but feel hopeless with certain clients. Worst of all is when therapists feel like a "rent-a-friend" instead of a catalyst for change. I'm Dr. Jordan Harris, and I help therapists move from "lost" to "confident" by mastering the meta-skills of clinical excellence. My approach isn't about learning another model—it's about knowing when and how to use the tools you already have to create deeper, more transformative emotional encounters. In my trainings, we focus on four key pillars: Motivation: Working with (not against) client resistance. Persuasion: Engaging clients so they show up hopeful and ready. Experiencing: Moving past surface-level talk into deep emotional work. Body Language: Reading non-verbal cues for true clinical attunement.

#141: On today's episode, Payton Sartain Ross, creator and podcast host of Note to Self, opens up about living with depression and anxiety, separating mental health from identity, and what it actually looks like to choose hope on a daily basis. The girls get into:• why not everything in life needs to “lead to something good” and finding neutrality instead of constant highs and lows • growing up across completely different socioeconomic environments and how exposure shapes perspective, opportunity, and ambition • realizing depression and anxiety were never her identity, just part of her story • what it felt like trying medication for the first time and seeing what a “regulated” mind can feel like • rumination, overthinking, and how negative thought patterns can become a form of self-protection • why talk therapy stopped working and the realization that processing and feeling are not the same thing • the pressure to always be motivated, optimizing, and performing and why Payton's rejecting the “girl boss” mentality • redefining motivation and allowing yourself to outgrow goals, identities, and timelines • navigating femininity, leadership, and creating relationship dynamics that actually feel aligned instead of prescribed • choosing a partner who brings stability instead of feeding into emotional chaos • learning to accept and even love the darker parts of yourself in order to move forward • redefining self-love as a daily practice rooted in commitment to an imperfect person, not a feeling • using humor as a coping mechanism through suicidal ideation and long-term mental health struggles & MORE!This episode is for anyone who is struggling to accept the darker parts of themselves, and struggling to navigate their identity within their mental health journey including: anxiety, depression, rumination, and overthinking. We also get into dating, choosing the right partner, navigating relationships when your mind feels heavy, and what it looks like to keep going when you don't feel motivated to. This episode has a little something for everyone.CONNECT BELOW:Follow Payton hereFollow Note to Self hereListen to Note to Self hereCONNECT with HAN:Follow Han ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow HOW I SEE IT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop the podcast merch ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Han: howhanseesit@gmail.com

In this episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the concept of intellectualizing—what it is, why many of us do it, and how it can quietly disconnect us from our emotional world. If you've ever found yourself overthinking instead of feeling, analyzing instead of experiencing, or explaining your pain rather than embodying it, this conversation is for you.Together, we gently unpack the difference between a thought, feeling, emotion, and behavior, creating clarity around how these inner experiences shape our patterns, relationships, and self-awareness. I also share practical, real-life examples and a therapeutic technique I often use with clients to help expand emotional awareness and move from cognitive understanding into embodied presence.This episode invites you to soften out of analysis and into awareness—because healing isn't just something we understand intellectually, it's something we learn to feel, notice, and live.In this episode:What intellectualizing is and how it shows up in everyday lifeThe difference between thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviorsWhy emotional awareness matters for healing and self-connectionA practical technique to deepen emotional awarenessExamples of moving from thinking about feelings → actually feeling themIf you're learning to reconnect with your inner experience, regulate your nervous system, or cultivate deeper self-understanding, this episode offers a gentle place to begin.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

#137 THE SEASON FINALE: On today's episode, Han jumps on for a solo and answers the question she asks every guest: “How do you see it?” Looking back at her healing, building the podcast, and the ups and downs of her journey, she reflects on the common thread, which is that hope and the pursuit of more lies in our choices.Han gets into:What it really means to perpetuate our own miseryThe shame that lingers, not just from trauma, but from your own behaviorWhy healing isn't a breakthrough moment, it's a practice (a hard one at that)The responsibility of reshaping the world you were forced to seeWanting to be seen vs. actually allowing yourself to be seenWhy creating a platform didn't heal her the way she thought it wouldThe painful mirror momentsHope as grit, discipline, and commitment, not something naturalThe reality of what healing actually looks like and our ability to choose how we view itChoosing hope whether you're up or downThis episode is for anyone who needs to feel seen right now. For anyone in the thick of their healing journey who can't yet see the other side of the tunnel. For anyone navigating shame, depression, and the weight of both their past and their future. For anyone who needs the reminder that we have autonomy over our choices, our mindset, and the way we choose to show up in our lives.

The Rebbe addresses a student on his birthday, stressing that Torah study must be paired with Yiras Shamayim and actual performance. He warns against the "self-deception" of using intellectual excuses to ignore the instructions of Yeshiva faculty, noting that even the greatest minds must avoid such traps. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6074

In this episode, we delve into the growing use of the term "intellectualizing" in coaching and healing spaces by exposing how this buzzword, along with concepts like "somatics," is often wielded to make individuals question their healing journey and to promote programs or solutions that promise transformation. We explore why understanding the real reasons behind intellectualizing is key to challenge the notion that analyzing trauma is inherently wrong or blocking true healing, and how genuine progress comes from breaking old patterns, not just adopting the latest healing trends. Tune in for a thought-provoking look at what it really means to heal, and why the answers may not be found in the most popular advice. Connect with Kim: EFT Tapping Booster Session - https://courses.kimkeane.com/courses/tapping-booster-sessionFree Emotional Detox Workbook - https://courses.kimkeane.com/f/emotional-detox-workbookFree Everyday Spirituality Handbook - https://courses.kimkeane.com/f/everyday-spirituality-handbookInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kimvkeane/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kimvkeaneYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@kimvkeaneEmail - kim@kimkeane.comIf you found this episode helpful, please take a moment to leave a review and tell your friends about it.

In this episode, we're talking about a dynamic that (dare we say) all therapists are familiar with: working with clients who over-intellectualize. We explore why some clients show up to therapy in their heads while disconnected to their bodies and emotions, and how intellectualizing is both foundational and a block to good therapeutic work.We talk about the common pitfalls therapists fall into, especially when it feels satisfying or productive to stay in the intellectual space. We also discuss how to recognize when intellectualizing is happening (it's not always obvious!) and how to meet clients where they are, including those who are clear they don't want to feel in their body.Whether you love working with analytical clients or find yourself in the constant push-pull of trying to get them to actually sit with their feelings, this episode offers practical reflections on how to deepen the work with these folks.Join us on April 26, 2025 in North Vancouver for a day of Immersive Group Clinical Consultation.

Say it with me: the only way out is through. This is one of my favorite sayings, because it serves as a reminder to me that if I want to truly process and move on from a difficult feeling, I have to actually.....feel it. So whether you struggle with "feeling your feelings," or you've just been told you're too self aware to benefit from talking about them, this episode is for you. 71

Today, we are talking about intellectualizing versus feeling in the process of growth. We process lots of information through out thoughts before allowing ourselves to feel it. It is important to be aware of the old narratives and stories we are using when we process. Growth and healing comes from allowing the stories to change. #newyear #change #feelings #thoughts #anxiety

In today's episode of Unfiltered, we're getting hella vulnerable about how we've all been working on actually feeling our damn feelings.

Then she talks about why we can feel like our mental illnesses are made up or exaggerated because we haven't had a trauma or big event, ways we can healthily express our anger, and how she defines an eating disorder relapse. Finally, she walks us through the ways she decides what's the human condition and what's a symptom of a mental illness. 1. How do I stop intellectualizing my feelings and feel them? 01:23 2. Hey Kati! I was curious if you could talk about grief as an emotion, and how to cope with it and ways to help process it. Before therapy, I could not name any emotions, and I've gotten so much better at it. In fact, unbeknownst to me, I've actually always been quite the adept feeler of emotions— in the sense that I can find them in my body, I can talk about how they feel and the directions they move within me and through me... 08:27 3. Hello Kati, I often feel my MDD and GAD diagnosis is not warranted and it's 'all in my head' because I have not experienced any major negative life events or traumas. This has prevented me from discussing the things that I believe could be contributing to my symptoms because they don't feel important enough... 25:16 4. Hi Kati, I was wondering if you could talk about healthy ways to express anger. I come from a culture where expressing anger is shameful, especially for women. So my anger is as scary as fire flames for me. However, I have noticed my binge eating is fuelled by my unexpressed anger. So, can you please teach me some techniques about handling anger. Thanks for all your amazing work. 34:13 5. Hi Kati! Hope you're doing well. I am wondering how a relapse in an eating disorder is defined. Is there a clinical-based definition or is it more of a gray area? Does it mean meeting the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder diagnosis once again... 40:47 6. How do you figure out what's just 'the human condition' or a personality trait and what's an actual symptom? 55:08 PUBLISHED BOOKS Traumatized https://geni.us/Bfak0j Are u ok? https://geni.us/sva4iUY Join this channel & access more perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzBYOHyEEzlkRdDOSobbpvw/join ONLINE THERAPY While I do not currently offer online therapy, BetterHelp can connect you with a licensed, online therapist: https://betterhelp.com/kati (enjoy 10% off your first month) SOCIAL X: https://twitter.com/KatiMorton TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katimorton Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katimorton1/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katimorton Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/katimorton1/ Patreon: https://www.katimorton.com/kati-morton-patreon/ PARTNERSHIPS Linnea Toney linnea@underscoretalent.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/askkatianything/support

We've learned that narcs don't generally recover because of their "creative narration" abilities. Now, let's talk about some of the ways they spin those stories. Today, we start our examination of self-defense mechanisms by looking at the purposes of Intellectualization and Rationalization. Then, we ask the question: SO HOW SMART ARE THEY? And discuss the distinct Thought Processing limitations of both Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissists. Want the full story?

Over-intellectualizing occurs when we focus on analyzing our emotions from a distance, at the expense of experiencing them. However, we create and manifest from our identities and our authenticity. If our identity is still tied up in old emotions then we aren't living authentically. In order to process emotions effectively, we need to balance both feeling and analyzing. Feeling emotions vs intellectualizing emotions. If you've ever asked how to stop intellectualizing emotions? This episode is for you. Tune in to discover tools that will help you process emotions effectively.

In this inspiring episode of Flow Over Fear, Adam Hill sits down with leadership coach Zovig Garboushian to discuss her journey from corporate marketing to founding Boldness Ablaze to help leaders break through personal barriers. Zovig shares insights from over 25 years of experience in brand marketing, management and leadership development.  Zovig shares insightful strategies for acknowledging emotions, getting curious about fears, and reframing limiting stories. They also dive into overcoming imposter syndrome and advancing women in leadership.  Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Her transition from corporate to coaching Relating to feeling incongruent in a role that clouds self-understanding How exploring emotions through reflection helps self-awareness Strategies like naming feelings, pausing when escalated, and curiosity Moving from NYC to outside Seattle for more nature and quiet Intellectualizing emotions can help "right size" responses Experience with feedback to be "less direct" in performance reviews Finding hybrid approaches instead of all-or-nothing limitations Trusting ourselves more   Trusting intuition knows more than we realize Episode Highlights: [09:20] Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Zovig discusses struggling with defining her own self-worth and capabilities separate from her professional roles. This led to self-doubt and feeling like a fraud – classic symptoms of imposter syndrome. Through coaching and personal development work, Zovig was able to overcome feelings of not being enough and reconnect with her intrinsic self-worth. She emphasizes the importance of trusting our own intuition over external definitions that can breed internalized insecurities. Zovig's experience highlights strategies for addressing imposter syndrome through self-awareness and rejecting limiting beliefs about identity being tied to professional achievements alone. [25:33] Developing Self-Awareness Through Emotional Exploration Carving out time each day for emotional reflection, even just a few minutes, cultivates understanding of our inner world in a way that supports personal and professional growth. Whether through journaling, meditation, or conversations, we gain clarity on what we're truly feeling beneath surface reactions. When we can name an emotion, it empowers us to then choose our response rather than be carried away by an unchecked reaction. Reflection uncovers layers of emotion and thought patterns influencing our behaviors and provides distance from strong feelings, creating an opportunity for insight.  [50:53] Intellectualizing Emotions to “Right Size” Responses Our intellect is a tool we can utilize to place emotions in proper context. By rationally pondering the root and size of a reaction, we can reduce the intensity and acknowledge when a response is disproportionate to the trigger. This highlights how both heart and mind can work in tandem to move through feelings in a balanced manner.

In this episode, Alex covers a myriad of topics! He starts by reflecting on his complex nostalgia since his time working in Spain. Then he gets into a recent blunder in Canada where a parliament member inadvertently had the crowd celebrate a 98 year old Ukrainian veteran that turned out to be a fighter for a Nazi regime. Later, Alex celebrates the potential, tentative deal that could end the Writer's Strike in Hollywood. Finally, Alex takes a deep dive into why the civil service is important why MAGA allies are looking to intellectualize Trump-era lies that can help them gut the civil service to retain power. 

Ever wonder why we often shun the very thing that could bring us relief - healing? We're taking you on a transformative journey to uncover the truth behind this paradox in our latest podcast episode, where we dissect the reasons why we dodge healing, and how these barriers limit our personal growth. We're peeling back the layers of self-avoidance and distraction, aiding you to discover your innate power that has been stifled by pain. Join us as we journey back to the creation of Love Frequency, a beacon in my personal battle against loss, that has since morphed into a platform helping others metamorphose their heartache into fortitude.We'll then divert our conversation towards the 70-20-10 model of learning, and its profound implications in our healing journey. We'll debunk the concept of intellectualizing as a distraction, and shed light on the importance of personal experiences, interactions with others, and novel experiences as catalysts for true growth and healing. This episode culminates in a discussion about embracing love as the ultimate answer to our woes, and how investing in oneself could open doors to your highest, freest, and unedited self. We're challenging you to take control of your healing journey, to find your power, and to share this journey, because at the end of the day, your story could be the lifeline someone else is desperately seeking.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------0:00 The Avoidance of Healing9:54 The Impact of Distractions on Healing22:42 Embracing Love and Self-Transformation--------- EPISODE RESOURCES ---------70-20-10 ModelSupport the show: : C O N N E C T W I T H M E : :TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@l_vefrequency Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/l_vefrequency/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lvefrequency/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@l_vefrequency About the Host: songwhip.com/niablk

In this Saturday special, Alex goes into another issue that keeps him up at night. Alex firmly believes that Donald Trump has a decent chance of becoming president once again. However, there is now an intellectual side of the MAGA movement that includes think-tanks, media organizations, and actual policies to go along with America First politics. It seems like the right is focused on making Trump's second term more effective and less chaotic. Alex argues that this is horrible. He goes into Schedule F and how its legal theory could purge the civil service in a second Trump administration. Then he goes into the strange dynamics that occur in authoritarianism and fascism. There seems to be a contradiction between freedom and control; however, many fascists claim to be using authoritarian powers to bring freedom to their base. It does seem like the right is moving in that direction and Alex worries that a second Trump term could be really horrendous. 

Hey guys, I'm doing an off the cuff solo episode on how we cope during stress and what that can look like. Recently I went through an extremely hard month of loss of a loved one and I wanted to talk about what stress can do to us to intellectualize our emotions and how compartmentalizing our feelings in order to just keep moving forward can really bite us in the end if we don't look at them now.Find Us:www.loveyouevenmore.comwww.jackiebrubaker.comInstagram: @loveyouevenmorepodcast @jackiebrubaker Support the show

When it comes to change and growth, knowledge is inferior to embodiment. *gasp!*    It's true - most of the information we tend to consume focuses on quick fixes and the thrill that comes from acquiring information. But science has shown that knowledge alone rarely leads to true transformation.    The necessary component to lasting change is embodiment.   In today's episode, I coach on what it means to be embodied, how you know once you've actually embodied something new, and how to be aware of the signs that you're simply intellectualizing new information.     REGISTER FOR THE FREE MOM BRAIN MASTERCLASS – Powerful Strategies for Anxiety, Overwhelm, & Burnout    Listen to Episode 107 – The 3 Stages of Learning    TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!   FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective   JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!

Feelings are hard—to experience, to understand. Most of us tend to stay on the thinking and not feeling side of things.How does that impact you in business? Truth be told, it's not pretty sometimes nor is it easy to manoeuvre through the roller coaster ride we unintentionally hop on. In today's episode, I share how it showed up for one of my clients and what I helped her do to conquer her habit of sideswiping them.Plus, there's a challenge at the end that would be good to take on especially this time if year. - - - - - FEATURED IN TODAY'S EPISODE: Schedule a free 45-minute consult call with me HERE Download The Feelings Tracker HEREHaven't left a review yet?

In this QID reunion, Dhruv, Aryan, and Amartya welcome back Lord Sanjeet to discuss a film that itself feels like a reinvigoration of the Hollywood spectacle. Critically, though, from a revisionist African American perspective. The four discuss the different degrees to which they each love and/or admire the film. Regardless, they agree that it is the most original piece of Blockbuster Cinema to come out of Hollywood in recent times.

The feelings of denial and disassociation when experiencing trauma and the death of a loved one can be scary and unpredictable. We don't need to automatically bounce back and start feeling “better” after a traumatic event. In this episode I share more about my relationship with my grandma, the chaotic story of speaking at her funeral, and how it's okay to feel lost + empty in the unknown.

Hey Mind Grind Fam! As the world has changed with technology and more mental health awareness, we're all getting more information about mental health terms than ever before. This is great...AND it means we all know the catch phrases like "self-care", but do we really understand them in an integrated way in our lives? We have intellectualized wellness, but are we embodying it? For example: are you saying you self-care because it's common lingo or have you been able to give yourself meaningful self-care (see our self-care episode for tips)? Do you tend to talk about your life experiences like you are always fine? Even after a hard moment? Do you tend to over-explain things rather than slow down and feel your feelings? Are you quick to use big psychological terms when talking about yourself or your life? Is it difficult for you to be vulnerable? Are you present with yourself as you speak?... If these questions are feeling at all relatable, this is the podcast for you. In this episode we explain what Intellectualization and Embodiment are and why it is beneficial to moving beyond Intellectualizing into Embodiment. It is not the easiest shift, but there are many gains for this transition: one of them being moving out of your head and into your body; your home for your life. Find the time, come and unwind to The Mind Grind! - Dana and Beth

Stupidity has been intellectualized to be an appeal to authority. Chinese defectors inform US intelligence what we have all known: Covid is a bioweapon. The fake news machine has been wrong about every single thing. The Foo Fighters rock and roll for The Man. Black Rock becomes the world's largest landlord.

On this episode of Damaged Goods Podcast, Jake The Snake's guest is author, technician, & speaker Telisa D. The two discuss not only connecting with the readers of your work, but the connection that can be made amongst fellow authors writing about similar subjects with similar experiences, how hot the damn lights on when you're on stage speaking or performing, taking your own responsibility when it comes to what media and entertainment you take in, and why people have more choice & control with that they they acknowledge, and why sometimes you have to say "F@*# 'em".

Imagine if you could completely and totally connect with God. What if you could experience the deepest most profound sense of love, connection and bliss you have ever imagined? Mike's done it and he can tell you what he's about to share could be both uncomfortable and VERY controversial, so fasten your seatbelts and keep reading... Gay Hendricks and Mike Koenigs have a real doozy episode for you this week on The Big Leap podcast... This is Mike's most vulnerable episode and public share to date. Here's what Mike had to say. "Three months ago, I wouldn't consider publicly sharing this - but it's too important not to. A few weeks ago I was invited to join in a very sacred ceremony led by several medical doctors and shamans on ancient Native American grounds in the New Mexico desert. It's an experience called 5-MeO-DMT. This is a psychedelic of the tryptamine class found in a wide variety of plant species, and at least one toad species. What was it like? Terrifying. Awe-inspiring. Beautiful. Pure love. A direct connection to God or creator. Out of body. Complete elimination of a sense of self and ego. Melting away any emotional and physical pain. A rocketship to pre-creation. In the “mind” of God. Before matter, time, space and light. Then... I woke up to a blood curdling, primal scream of emotion. Of love, fear and awe. That scream that woke me up… It was ME. It was as if my “animal” was reuniting with its spirit. All of this happened over a period of 25 minutes. Imagine pouring an entire planet into a thimble. That's what that scream was - the human brain and body simply cannot contain a universe that's billions of years old in it's “container.” Intellectualizing this experience is a disservice to something very ancient and very sacred. As I sobbed and laughed and cried and laughed some more, I never felt so much divine love and connection than in that moments that had just passed. It was the most profound experience of my life. There's a tremendous reawakening and resurgence of psychedelics, entheogens and other plant based materials that is attracting the world's leading scientists, physicists, astrophysicists, doctors, quantum scientists and the medical community. If you do some research, you'll find major colleges and hospitals are investing heavily in using psychedelics to reduce or eliminate mental illness. Tim Ferriss donated $3mm to the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research and Imperial College London. I don't regard 5-MeO-DMT as a drug. It is a profound sacrament and if there was ever something that was divinely created it is this. Despite the world's governments and leaders creating the “War on Drugs” and associating “drugs that kill you” (alcohol, tobacco, heroin, cocaine and much of the pills that are consumed) with “drugs that can save and change your life” (5MEO, psilocybin, MDMA), this is ancient. Amazonian natives have been using entheogens, so did the Greeks, Egyptians, Vedics and other cultures for millennia. When I was 18, I tried smoking marijuana and it sent me into an absolute pit of terror that to this day I still have massive trauma associated with it. I stayed away from all substances. But to my uneducated mind that didn't know the difference between a recreational drug and something that's deeply spiritual, like 5-MeO-DMT… I didn't have the ability to discern and I didn't want to trigger an old trauma.So what was I looking for? Why did I decide to partake in this kind of medicine?There wasn't any ONE reason. I wasn't seeking anything really.I really wanted to explore what I was hearing about the substance and trust me… I did my research. I kept hearing people like Joe Rogan and Tim Ferris talk about it for years. I met Rick Doblin through a friend, the founder of MAPS, which is an association that does profound work on the benefits of psychedelics and how they help soldiers with massive PTSD and women who survived horrible captivity and rape, walk away and not require medication or additional treatment.This year, I felt as though I had reached a point in my life where I was psychologically prepared. I had been feeling much more love, connection and depth in all of my relationships. I had reached a state in my masculinity of understanding what courage, emotion, deep connections, authenticity and being fully present and vulnerable REALLY meant. I felt like this was the next step in my journey of growth as a human being.The setting was a big factor too. It took place on Native American grounds in New Mexico underneath a massive, multi-centuries old cottonwood tree. I was supervised by doctors who are very, very experienced in the substance, so I felt like I was in good hands with proper care before and after.The entire experience lasts (depending on the person and the dose) between 15 and 30 minutes (compared to other plant medicines like Ayahuasca, that can last for hours). It's very, very fast and most people who experienced it in this space said it was like a rocket ship.Now WHY am I sharing this with you? Why is it so important?Because after the experience, I happen to believe that a TOOL like this one could actually bring more people together.More compassion.More empathy.More understanding.More connection.It's a tool.And I'll go on record that the sense of compassion, oneness and connection it provides would create a KNOWING that we are all part of the divine.And if the world's leaders, politicians and change makers could experience this ancient gift…There would be more peace on this planet.There's more to the story!To hear more about the MOST profound and enlightening experience of my entire life, tune in here!Whether you agree with using these sacred, ancient tools or not… you can't argue that it's not a fascinating subject and hopefully you'll learn a little something too!”

Dr. Amer F. Ahmed holds a rare perspective on masculinity, forged by his Indian Muslim upbringing, plus extensive worldly studies. His brilliance shines as we touch on topics such as masculine social justice, the role of community in initiation, and re-defining the warrior stereotype. We go far beyond identifying the problem, and dive into solution mode. Awareness and education are key, and as a professor and speaker, Amer is the man for the job.   Show Notes: Amer's unique experience being raised in Ohio with an immigrant and Muslim philosophy. Preparation for rites of passage is as important as the experience Why elderhood is not based on age Manhood begins when he declares it for himself, and the community reflects it back.  In our colonized reality, there is an over emphasis on the individual defining this journey, vs the indigenous model of communal experiences. The construct of “whiteness” and its role in American male culture. Culture is comprised of what is sacred, though it is rapidly becoming commercialized Patriarchy is a misrepresentation of power, it's an attempt to deny the fact that women have unique powers. Rape of the land and indigenous women are not a coincidence Are all men responsible for patriarchy? What does a healthy masculine look like? How warrior energy is mis-represented by our dominant society, mainly by viewing it from the purely physical perspective Differences between male to male intimacy across cultures.  Intellectualizing social justice movements can lead to a disconnection.  What can men do about racism, sexism, and these large cultural issues? Why creating space for men to be real with one another is vital   How to Connect to Amer: Instagram @dramerfahmed Website - Amerfahmed.com - check out his upcoming engagements and find more ways to connect!   Rising Man Links: Join the Rising Man Fire Circle, our online platform where men come together and put into practice all the greatness talked about on the podcast.

Back on episode 71 of the show, Rebecca Ching and I talked about a therapeutic approach called Internal Family Systems, and how it can help us re-frame the way we deal with big emotional challenges. One of the things she mentioned in our conversation really resonated with me, and I wanted to dig a little deeper into it a little more today. Rebecca talked about how many people these days are stuck living only in their head, totally cut off from their emotions. We talked more in that episode about the research and the reasons behind WHY that’s happening, which I think is fascinating. If you didn’t listen that to that conversation yet, definitely check that out too. I’ll link our conversation up in the show notes. But this experience of detaching from FEELING our emotions and relying on our heads alone to process what’s going on for us emotionally was something I could really relate to. I’ve spent most of my life INTELLECTUALIZING my emotions. Up until ten years ago or so, I didn’t really FEEL them in my body or in my soul at all. I mostly saw my emotions as some puzzle that needed to be figured out or solved. And in order to do that, I needed to keep some distance from them. I needed to bury them a little before I could look at them objectively. I relied heavily on trying to put a positive spin on things, on “letting things go”, and analyzing what was happening, rather than actually FEELING the emotions that were coming up for me. But in doing that, I really was just suppressing, and often completely invalidating, what was really happening inside of me. At the time, I truly didn’t realize I wasn’t feeling those emotions. I just thought I was “being mature” or “staying in control” or “expressing myself in a healthy way.” Those were all fancy ways of saying that I was avoiding the real pain of experiencing my own feelings.   Show Notes: https://argenalinstitute.com/75 Resources & Links Mentioned in this Episode: When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron Comfortable with Uncertainty by Pema Chodron EFT and Matrix Reimprinting Internal Family Systems WPR071: How Internal Family Systems Can Change Your Approach to Work, Parenting & Life with Rebecca Ching The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown The Argenal Institute Website Free Consultation Email me: sarah@argenalinstitute.com About The Argenal Institute: The Working Parent Resource Podcast is a place where we explore how to defeat burnout as working parents so we can finally enjoy these precious years of our lives.

What I love about doing this show is that I come across all sorts of new philosophies and topics that we may experience day to day but we not realize how common it is. Intellectualizing our emotions is very much one of those concepts. That means pushing away our feelings, shoving them down, or downplaying them for the sake of social niceties. But there are harmful side effects to suppressing how we really feel or assuming that we are expressing ourselves when we're not. This podcast episode covers all of these topics and is heavily influenced by this article: https://nickwignall.com/intellectualized-emotions/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dopeamine/message

Many of us assume that we automatically feel our feelings, but unfortunately it’s not that simple. There are so many ways society encourages us to deny, avoid and repress emotions. Megan Jane Soutar is a self healing guide who I have had the honor of knowing as a friend and client for many years. As Megan describes in our interview, her transformation has taken her from someone who numbed emotion, to someone who intellectualized emotion, then finally to someone who could FEEL their emotions, fully. And in this transformation Megan has come to working with others in truly feeling their feelings too.  Episode Highlights: 1 min - Marks introduction, dealing with hard emotions. 6 mins - Introduction to Megan Souter and her role as a self healing guide. 15 mins - Numbing emotions instead of feeling them. 17 mins - Megan’s experience of depression in childhood and living with mental illness within the family. 21 mins - Living within a disruptive household. 27 mins - Intellectualizing emotions to avoid feeling them. 31 mins - The safety to have your own experience and emotions. 39 mins - Megan’s experience of bullying throughout school. 46 mins - Living at your highest level of integrity.  50 mins - Dealing with major life changes and coming off of medications. 59 mins - How Megan is using her story in her life and work today. 1hr 7 mins - Shaming our feelings. 1hr 18 mins - Stepping out of the story we have been assigned.

Many people fall into a mental trap when working on themselves. They think, “If I know it, I can change it.” Yes, self-awareness is critical because you can’t change what you’re not aware of, but nothing really changes if it stays at the level of the intellect. When you have a mental understanding, that information fits within your existing belief system, becoming a strategy. Many of us in insecurely attached relationships tend to take this new information and apply it to the object of our desire. We don’t necessarily apply it to ourselves emotionally. Change comes from feeling, not thinking. It’s like listening to this podcast. Either you’re going to take an emotional risk or you’re going to say, “Oh, yes, I get it. That makes sense! Maybe I’ll try that later when it’s safe.” Unfortunately waiting for “safe” means waiting forever. If you don’t embrace the fear and discomfort that comes with emotional risk, you’re just playing a game of mental ping pong. Intellectualizing your life leads to repeating the same things over and over. In an insecurely attached relationship you will go over the same dynamic when you intellectualize or strategize change. And change is an illusion when it remains in someone else’s hands… not your own. Many of us are willing to take mental risks, but not emotional ones. So what’s an emotional risk? Speaking your truth; showing the real you; expressing what you’ve been repressing; detaching from outcomes. The greatest job, relationship, etc. won’t matter if you mentally manage your life. That isn’t where fulfillment stems from. If you do it emotionally, it will be different.
