Have you ever experienced freeze, where your body goes to a complete shutdown? Freeze dynamics can show up in various areas of life, such as sexuality, relationships, work, and organization. Today, I'm excited to host Rachel Rae Halder. She explains how the freeze response is often misunderstood, the nuances of the freeze response, its impact on various aspects of life, and the importance of approaching it with understanding and self-compassion. In this podcast episode, Rachel takes us through: - How freeze is common and how it's often misunderstood. - What freeze is, and how it occurs. - Freeze in different life areas. - How understanding freeze dynamics brings compassion to areas of struggle and stuckness. - Thawing freeze through micro-movements - How seeking stability, safety, and self-trust in the body and environment supports the nervous system in emerging from a shutdown. - How to work with chronic freeze patterns. - Consciously working through ancestral healing of freeze patterns. - Her upcoming 8-week course “Finding Flow” and other offerings for Nervous System Education. And so much more! Rachel Halder is a neurodivergent and queer writer, thought leader, and seasoned practitioner with over a decade of experience in post-traumatic growth healing arts, with some of the most advanced trainings around trauma resolution, sexual liberation, and collective healing. She has a unique, mystical, ancestral, and energetic approach to trauma healing + pleasure, especially in understanding nuances in the nervous system, including many freeze dynamics that play out in people's bodies. Her work goes far beyond the typical somatic experiencing principles and enters into nature, plus the energetic and mystical realms of the “unseen.” Links: https://rachelhalder.podia.com/finding-flow https://rachelhalder.podia.com/why-we-freeze www.facebook.com/raehalder www.instagram.com/rachel.rae.halder www.raehalder.com Follow Aimee Takaya on: IG : @aimeetakaya Facebook : Aimee Takaya Learn more about Aimee Takaya, Hanna Somatic Education, and The Radiance Program at www.freeyoursoma.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aimee322/support

English description below! The interview starts at 9:55. Inkarnerades Gud två gånger? Hänger vår syn på djur ihop med förtryck av svarta och kvinnor? Och leder nu-metal gruppen P.O.D. till radikalsering? I oktober månad möter vi aktivisten, musikern och teologen Nekeisha Alayna Alexis. Hon visar för oss hur kampen för djurens rätt och kampen mot rasism och sexism kan hänga ihop. Om hur Gud ger kraft i kampen, och på mindre utforskade sätt att läsa Bibeln på. Från andra sidan Atlanten rakt in i dina öron - lyssna och njut. . . . Was God incarnated twice? Is our view on animals connected with oppression of black people and women? And will listening to the nu-metal group P.O.D. lead to radicalization? We reached out to Nekeisha Alayna Alexis, an activist, theologian and musician, to have her show us how the fight for animals rights, and the fight against racism and sexism are connected. And also talk about how God gives hope against hope, and about less explored ways of reading the Bible. From the other side of the pond, to your ears! Enjoy!

How has the taboo of sexuality and sex influenced your experiences with your female body as well as your intimate relationships? Most of us don’t think about the consequences that shaming culture has on our brains and our daily lives. According to Rachel Halder, a sacred sexuality coach, even though you have not experienced sexual trauma, you still might be affected by the negative connotation of sexuality and sex of our culture. On this episode, we uncover the main effects that purity culture and religion has on our disconnection from the body as well as the shame and the damaging thoughts that come with these effects. We discuss how as children we create a belief system about what sex is and how bad it is and how when becoming adults we let these beliefs and the unconscious patterns guide our sexual behavior. Rachel and I also share our sexual trauma incidents and discuss how we can heal our past traumas, connect with our bodies and start having healthy intimate relationships with our partners. Join us for an incredible conversation on sexuality, healing past traumas and much more where Rachel also shares with us her favorite tools & resources that keep her inspired and productive, including: 1 visually inspiring Instagram account to get your dose of sensual and erotic art 1 sexual empowerment coach to follow for a sex-positive agenda for the ecosex revolution 2 books that will help you transform your sex life, awaken and cultivate your sexual energy Check these out at www.girlskill.com/35 P.
