CONTENT HEADS UP: This episode may inspire you to give the practice of “Walking-In-Your-Shoes” a go on your own. We waive all responsibility for any ensuing mishaps of cramped spaces, being near stairs or inspired bouts of wild and/or naked abandon. On a more serious note, we do discuss heavy subjects like trauma, armoring, drowning, rape and PTSD. But predominantly, we delve into the healing power and intelligence of the body invited into highly conscious motion and given free-reign and guidance to express all that it knows.Also, Walking-In-Your-Shoes can be done just as effectively from a wheelchair or with the capacities of any perambulatory disability. You just have to be a body with the desire to follow how it's guiding you to feel, see and know.This episode presents a departure from our previous episodes. As in some of our upcoming episodes, we focus here on a specific practice and its transformative techniques aimed at unlocking conscious awareness of the body's intelligence. While past episodes delved into the philosophical underpinnings of embodiment, this installment offers practical guidance on tangible methods to access your inner knowledge as an opportunity for revelation and growth.SYNOPSIS:Ali discusses a movement-based mindfulness practice called “The Walking-In-Your-Shoes” (WIYS) mind-body process with one of its co-founders, actor and director, Joseph Culp. WIYS is a process that allows the practitioner, in partnership with a facilitator, to address questions or needs through an intuitive questioning of the body-mind through movement. The applications of the questioning process are quite broad and can be applied to everything from healing trauma and managing addiction, to business development or a more organic method of acting. This is another means of “knowing” through your body. Ali and Joseph discuss the overlap between WIYS and Family Constellation Work and how both practices allow others to help take on and process trauma or healing on the behalf of another person. EXPLORATION POINTS:- Joseph & Ali discuss the intersections between the Walking-In-Your-Shoes (WIYS) body-mind process and Family Constellation Work. The episode explores how both practices facilitate the process of addressing questions or needs through intuitive questioning of and attention to the body-mind through movement.- The episode highlights Joseph Culp's personal growth as an actor through his involvement in WIYS. Culp discusses how this movement-based mindfulness practice has contributed to his development as an artist, providing insights into the transformative power of the practice.- Joseph Culp and Ali discuss the concept of "Walking for Others". The exploration involves understanding how facilitators can embody and navigate the experiences of others through movement, emphasizing the empathetic and therapeutic aspects of Walking in someone else's shoes.-  Joseph and Ali explore the therapeutic potential of WIYS for individuals grappling with severe trauma or PTSD. Discussing how the intuitive questioning of the body-mind through movement, coupled with the empathetic support of a facilitator and sometimes a group, offers a unique avenue for addressing and healing deep-seated traumas. - Joseph offers insights into how Wilhelm Reich's ideas have shaped WIYS, contributing to its foundation, while also exploring how Alexander Lowen's contributions informed the practice of following the body towards liberation. This exploration provides a comprehensive understanding of the historical and theoretical roots that form the intellectual, and practical, lineage of WIYS.To subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:Ali - Website:Personal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:Transgenerational Healing Films:FOR MORE JOSEPH CULP:BIO: Joseph Culp is an actor, director and filmmaker, working in theater, film and television for over 40 years.

Joseph co-founded the Walking-In-Your-Shoes® body/mind process with psychologist John F. Cogswell, Ph.D during the late 1980s.  The method known as “Walking” combines somatic empathy with movement, mindfulness, and the facilitated inquiry processing of the bodymind. Joseph formed the Los Angeles-based Walking Theatre Group in 1992 to explore the use of the WIYS method in dramatic arts. Together with Dr. Cogswell, he continued to develop WIYS for use in psychotherapy, coaching, trauma recovery, creative and performing arts, business and community for the next 20 years.  Joseph has introduced hundreds of people to WIYS, in both performing and the healing arts, and trained many therapists and facilitators who have made Walking-In-Your-Shoes® part of their practice and life work.

What if your core wounds aren't things to conquer, but parts of yourself that just need to be seen, heard, and understood? And what if the reason manifestation feels effortless in your imagination but impossible in action has nothing to do with motivation…and everything to do with your nervous system? This week, Jessica sits down with somatic therapist and parts work expert Sarah Baldwin for a conversation that will completely reframe how you understand manifestation. Together, they explore why your nervous system calls the shots on what you attract, and how the self-protective patterns you developed as a child are quietly keeping you from stepping into your purpose, relationships, visibility, and expansion as an adult. Using Somatic Experiencing & Internal Family Systems (IFS) and spiritual practices, Sarah explains how our minds are made up of different "parts" — inner voices or emotional states, each with their own fears and roles. The parts that learned to protect you in childhood don't disappear; they keep running in the background, quietly shaping what you believe you're allowed to have. Unblocking starts with getting curious about those parts rather than fighting them, and learning to become a loving, attuned parent to your inner child. With nervous system regulation and parts work, you'll move through fear without forcing it, gradually expanding your capacity to hold more goodness. If manifestation feels clear in theory but sticky in practice, this episode will show you why, and guide you in softening the walls that have been keeping you from the life you've been waiting for.

The Neutral Mind is the part of the mind that can pause, see clearly, and choose truth without judgment.When it isn't leading, judgment gets loud, toward others and toward yourself, and even simple decisions can feel impossible.In this episode of the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, I explain how generational trauma healing happens by training the Neutral Mind through Kundalini Yoga and the teachings of Jesus in A Course in Miracles.You'll learn what's happening in the brain, mind, and nervous system when reactivity takes over and how specific breathing sequences, mantras, and meditations restore the Neutral Mind so you can access wisdom and knowledge instead of living trapped in “good vs bad” thinking.In this episode we cover:✨ Why unhealed trauma turns the mind into a judge (good/bad, safe/unsafe)✨ What the Neutral Mind is: clear seeing without judgment or absorbing other people's energy✨ How nervous system stress makes you merge with other people's emotions and lose your own truth✨ The vagus nerve: the “safety signal” nerve that slows your heart and breath so you can stay present and not get pulled into someone else's field✨ ACIM + Neutral Mind: perception is duality, knowledge is certainty — Neutral Mind is what makes you ready to remember knowledge✨ One Kundalini Yoga Neutral Mind meditation to exit the good/bad loop fastYou are allowed to embody sovereignty — for seven generations before you and seven generations after you.Join the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary — a sanctuary for the soul for first-time generational cycle breakers rebuilding their inner sanctuary and reclaiming sovereignty for seven generations before and seven generations after.Click Here: https://subscribepage.io/jnkwzV Click Here toJoin us in our Free Private Facebook Group Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sovereignsisterhoodmovement Join me on TikTok and Instagram : @veronicabarraganiam

Today's conversation is one that touches every single one of us — whether we realize it or not.We're talking about trauma.Not just the big, obvious trauma. Not just what happened to you. But how it lives inside your body… and quietly shapes your health, stress levels, relationships, and even your sense of purpose.Joining us is Diana Bitting, co-founder and CEO of Catbird Health, an AI-powered trauma-informed care platform pioneering an entirely new model for healing.But Diana didn't start here. She spent decades struggling with a chronic inflammatory condition that no doctor could explain. Test after test came back “normal.” She was told it was stress. Or anxiety. Or maybe even “all in her head.”Sound familiar?After trying everything — diets, protocols, medications, functional medicine, and talk therapy — nothing created lasting relief. Until one conversation changed everything.When Diana began exploring trauma science and nervous system healing, her symptoms started to lift. Because here's what she discovered: Trauma doesn't just live in the brain. It lives in the body. And until the nervous system feels safe, true healing can't happen.In this episode, we explore:Why trauma is stored in the nervous systemThe link between inflammation, anxiety, insomnia, and unresolved traumaWhy talk therapy alone may not be enoughThe difference between cognitive healing and body-based healingHow personalized, trauma-informed care is changing the future of medicineWhy every single one of us can benefit from trauma healingThis conversation is grounded in science, but it's also deeply hopeful.Because healing trauma isn't just about resolving the past. It's about unlocking energy, clarity, connection, and purpose in the present.If you've ever felt like something was “off” in your body — even when everything looked fine on paper — this episode may connect some powerful dots.You are not broken. Your body has been protecting you. And healing is possible.MORE FROM DIANA BITTINGCheck out Catbird and start your person healing journey. Learn more about Diana.  Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

In this episode of Punk Therapy, Dr. T and Truth Fairy open the year by exploring the concept of body set and its relevance to psychedelic therapy and medicine-assisted healing. Drawing on recent research and clinical observations, they expand the framework of set and setting to include the physiological state of the body as a critical part of how psychedelic medicine is received and processed. The conversation examines biomarkers such as autonomic nervous system tone and overall physiological resilience, while placing these factors within a broader trauma-informed context. The episode emphasizes that psychedelic experiences do not occur in isolation from the body, but interact with existing patterns of stress, survival, and adaptation.Truth Fairy brings a deeply somatic and relational perspective to the discussion, challenging purely biomedical interpretations of body set by highlighting interoception, attachment history, and developmental trauma. She explains how early disruptions in care shape a person's capacity for self-regulation and self-care, and how these patterns show up in preparation for and during psychedelic work. Through clinical examples, she illustrates how subtle somatic practices, movement, touch, and nervous system-oriented interventions can help clients come out of chronic contraction, freeze, or hypervigilance before a medicine session. Dr. T and Truth Fairy situate body set within an ethical and relational model of psychedelic therapy that prioritizes co-regulation and humility. They question outcome-driven approaches that seek peak experiences, instead focusing on an orientation toward optimal arousal, embodied presence, and collective nervous system regulation, particularly in group settings. They offer clinicians, facilitators, and researchers a nuanced framework for understanding how trauma, physiology, and relational safety intersect in psychedelic healing. The evolving science of psychedelic medicines necessarily includes trauma-informed psychedelic therapy, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and ethical facilitation. “We can't just prepare the mind, and we can't just prepare the setting. You actually have to prepare the physiology of the body to receive medicine. Psychedelics affect our physiology. They can throw us into sympathetic arousal, so the question becomes how do we get the body ready to receive something that is already going to amplify what's there.”  - Truth Fairy__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send a textWhat happens when the very tools meant to heal you—breathwork, yoga, mindfulness—become ways to silence your inner wisdom?In this deeply vulnerable conversation, I sit down with Devin Scott, founder of Find Your Meaning, a body-based coach, who shares his recent experience of ignoring his body's signals in a relationship—and what he has learned about "healing" from that experience.We recorded this episode in early December, just days after Devin went through a painful breakup. Instead of presenting a polished, "healed" version of himself, he brought his raw, real experience into our conversation—and what emerged is one of the most honest explorations of body wisdom, emotional intelligence, and the shadow side of "wellness" that I've ever had.This conversation will shift how you think about healing, emotions, and what it means to truly listen to yourself.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why traditional healing systems often feel hollow—and how they can reinforce perfectionism and conformity instead of true transformationThe difference between resourcing and dissociating—how Devin used "healthy" practices like breathwork and yoga to silence his body's wisdom instead of listening to itWhy emotions aren't problems to solve—they're messages, evolutionary tools, and pathways to deeper wisdomHow body wisdom gets overridden—the cultural scripts that teach us to distrust our intuition and seek external validationThe philosophy of Lila—an ancient Indian concept that reframes life as "cosmic play" rather than a linear path to fix yourselfWhy you don't need to "win" at healing—and how the idea of becoming a "better version of yourself" can be self-punitiveWhen nervous system collapse is necessary—why sometimes you need to stop doing and just be with what isThe gaslighting embedded in systems—from workplaces to therapy, how we're taught that we are the problem, not the systemKey Themes:This episode explores the paradox of using healing modalities to avoid feeling, the courage it takes to trust your body when logic demands otherwise, and the radical idea that suffering might not be something to transcend—but something to experience fully as part of being human.Devin's honesty about his own recent heartbreak—and how he ignored his body's clear signals because he couldn't rationalize them—offers a powerful reminder that even those who teach this work are still learning it. We're all human. We all stumble. And vulnerability isn't weakness—it's where the real wisdom lives.About Devin Scott:Devin Scott is a body-based coach and facilitator who helps people reconnect with their inner wisdom and move through life with greater authenticity.

In this profound talk from the Empowering Story Podcast, somatic expert Jean Dorf challenges the conventional wisdom around trauma recovery language. Discover why words like 'victim' and 'survivor' are not neutral labels but direct cues to your nervous system. Drawing from somatic work, lived experience, and his work with survivors, Jean offers a developmental perspective on how language can either support regulation or demand performance. This video is for anyone on a healing journey, therapists, and those supporting loved ones through trauma. You'll learn to listen to what your body truly needs, moving beyond the pressure to adopt a specific identity and toward a more authentic, integrated healing process. The goal isn't to choose the right label, but to understand when language stabilizes the body and when it creates hidden effort.   Key Takeaways Language Is a Nervous System Cue: Words like 'victim' and 'survivor' aren't just descriptions; they interact directly with the body, telling it whether reality is being acknowledged or bypassed.  The Risk of 'Performative Strength': Adopting 'survivor' language too early can lead to a state of containment through effort, characterized by tension and exhaustion, rather than the soft, expansive nature of authentic resilience.  Oscillation Is a Sign of Maturation: Moving back and forth between feeling like a victim and a survivor is not confusion. It's a natural neurological process of renegotiating identity and testing capacity.  Your Body Outgrows the Word: True empowerment isn't a conscious decision to change labels. It emerges when your body's capacity has grown, often signaled by spontaneous deep breaths and a lack of the need to prove your strength. "The body moves forward when it feels believed, not empowered, not reframed, believed." - Jean Dorff "True empowerment emerges when language follows capacity, not ideology. You don't decide to stop being a victim. Your body outgrows the word." - Jean Dorff #TraumaHealing #SomaticExperiencing #NervousSystemRegulation #TraumaRecovery

No safe space. Just silence, street code, and survival. In this raw and powerful episode of Self Reflection Podcast, Robert Harrison shares how that moment shaped his mental health, triggered PTSD, and eventually led him to turn trauma into purpose through therapy and trauma-informed fitness. If you've ever carried pain in silence, struggled with a father wound, or wondered how to transform trauma into strength — this conversation is for you.Robert shares the life-altering event that shaped his path — witnessing his best friend being shot six times as a teenager and carrying that trauma in silence. No therapist. No safe space. Just hypervigilance, survival mode, and the unspoken weight of PTSD. In a culture that discouraged vulnerability, he learned to cope alone. But what could have hardened him instead awakened him.From that moment forward, Robert chose a different story.Now a trauma-informed therapist and founder of Define Our Fitness, he uses weightlifting as a tool to regulate the nervous system, rebuild confidence, and restore emotional balance. In this episode, he breaks down how physical discipline reshapes brain chemistry, strengthens identity, and creates space for healing — proving that movement isn't just about muscles… it's about reclaiming your mind.But the conversation goes deeper.Lira and Robert explore father wounds and generational trauma — what it means to forgive a parent who couldn't show up, how compassion doesn't excuse harm, and how breaking cycles requires awareness, discipline, and grace. They discuss addiction through a lens of empathy, the moral compass and mental health connection, and why living out of alignment with your values quietly erodes your inner peace.Robert also opens up about his time in law enforcement as a Black officer navigating systems that didn't fully accept him — and how choosing alignment over security changed the trajectory of his life.This episode is about responsibility without shame.

Send us a textWhat happens when modern neuroscience, ancient plant medicine, and spiritual self-awareness collide?In this powerful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Dr. Leah Linder—naturopathic physician, reverend, and co-founder of Setas Seminary—to explore how psilocybin mushrooms are being used responsibly, ethically, and intentionally to support healing from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and cognitive decline.Leah breaks down the actual science behind psilocybin—how it reduces neuroinflammation, stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and helps the brain form new neural pathways—while also explaining why integration and nervous system regulation matter far more than the ceremony itself.You'll also hear why psilocybin became a Schedule I substance, how federal religious protections allow safe access today, and why healing isn't about being “fixed,” but about learning to listen to your body and rewrite old stories.This episode is grounded, thoughtful, and eye-opening—perfect for anyone curious about the future of mental wellness, consciousness, and sustainable personal growth.

"Healing is not about improvement of daily functionalities or reduction of symptoms. Healing is deeply relational, cultural, and it's a political act." - Yukako Sortino   On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Yukako Sortino, Manager of the Refugee Behavioral Wellness Program at Heartland Alliance Health, for a profoundly moving dialogue on trauma, resilience, and relational healing within refugee and immigrant communities. Drawing from her work in Chicago and her lived experience as an immigrant, Yukako invites listeners to reconsider healing as a collective, nonlinear journey that honors dignity, body, identity, and culture.   Yukako illuminates the "triple trauma paradigm"—pre-migration, migration, and post-migration trauma—emphasizing how experiences of displacement and systemic oppression are woven into the fabric of everyday life for many refugees and immigrants. She shares how the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®) influences her approach as a relational lens, not a rigid method—prioritizing paced, attuned presence, honoring survival adaptations, and centering co-regulation before self-regulation. Through a vivid case study and reflection, she illustrates how micro-interventions, group-based and somatic supports, and culturally rooted practices restore agency and belonging amid ongoing adversity.   The conversation also highlights the structural barriers and burnout faced by providers, advocating for rest as an ethical imperative and collective care as essential resistance. Listeners are called to see beyond clinical outcomes, to foster authentic community, and to recognize the vital role of therapist self-care and sustainability.   We invite you to listen to the full episode and follow Transforming Trauma on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. *** **SPACE:** SPACE is an Inner Development Program of Support and Self-Discovery for Therapists on the Personal, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Levels offered by the Complex Trauma Training Center.

How can healthcare professionals transform burnout and trauma into a revitalized life and practice?In this special episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, Dr. Andrea Austin reads from her book Revitalized, focusing on the chapter "The Revitalization." She reflects on her own soul-level burnout at the end of the pandemic, sharing a formula for change: inflection point + inner work + clarity = revitalization. Drawing from personal experiences and expert insights, she emphasizes embracing the past's pain as part of growth, avoiding trauma loops, and intentionally "doing the work" for self-improvement.You'll hear how to:Recognize burnout as a chronic issue requiring inner reflection, not just quick fixes, and frame it as an opportunity for revitalization beyond "bouncing back."Differentiate top-down therapies (like CBT and talk therapy) from bottom-up approaches (like EMDR, somatic experiencing, and art therapy) for trauma healing, especially in high-stress fields like medicine.Understand coaching as a future-focused partnership for unlocking potential, while knowing when to seek therapy first, given high rates of PTSD (40%) and depression (30%) among healthcare workers.Navigate "VUCA" (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) in healthcare, including life quakes like job loss or health crises, and avoid maladaptive coping like overconsumption or addictions.Build vulnerability in hard conversations, reflect on perfectionism, and beware predatory coaching programs while prioritizing ethical, supportive resources.If you're a healthcare professional grappling with burnout, trauma, or the desire for more fulfillment, this episode offers empathetic guidance, reflective questions, and actionable steps to craft your own revitalization.

When you are an adult child of emotional neglect, or were raised in an alcoholic, narcissistic, or unpredictable home, you are not aware of how your brain wires the nervous system to be locked in survival mode. Daughters and sons of toxic parents learned to survive through hypervigilance, scanning the faces, moods, and body movements of those around them. This type of scanning, codes the brain for survival and fear anticipation.  The problem is, adult children from abusive, neglectful or toxic homes do not know this has occurred. From within the ego system, the little self assumes that what it feels, anticipates and experiences is all there is. This is why so many well meaning, and fully committed adult children who seek inner growth, personal development and healing, are baffled by why they feel so stuck.  Being prepared saves your brain energy, but when you are emotionally wounded in childhood, you do not know how your brain keeps you stuck in survival, and unable to escape, thereby locking you into loops of self sabotaging behaviors regardless of how often you hear your conscious mind screaming for something new and improved.    You'll learn: • Why trauma trains the brain to predict danger (and pick the same partners/jobs) • How insecure attachment, fawning & people-pleasing sabotage manifestation • The role of the default mode network, metacognition & observer consciousness • Practical tools to down-regulate, update your "inner algorithm," and choose new codes • How to trust divine intuition without bypassing the science Next step Start healing your inner child today with Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program.
