34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,200
And with that, let's get
untethered.
35
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:53,700
So Natasha I wanted to thank you
for for joining us today.
36
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:56,300
Yeah, thanks for having me when
we start.
37
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:58,700
Maybe you can just tell me a
little bit about highest like
38
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,600
healing and sort of what that's
all about in the services you
39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,100
offer.
Yeah, so I mean, I guess I'll
40
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:08,800
first just talk about energy
healing itself which is part of
41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,400
My work, and it is a very broad
term because there are so many
42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,000
like a lot of things within the
woo world.
43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,100
So to speak, it has a very broad
definition.
44
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,900
So a lot of people will really
don't understand fully what it
45
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:26,800
means.
Like psychic can mean so many
46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,100
different things and same with
energy healing.
47
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:32,800
So the kind of energy healing
that I do is really grounded in
48
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:38,300
practical ways to help people to
know themselves better to hear
49
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:42,500
they're into Ocean better to
know what they know so to speak
50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,200
and it's a way of clearing out
your energy knowing your
51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,500
boundaries being again like I
said being more clear about who
52
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:57,500
you are in the world and I found
this kind of energy healing
53
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:01,600
about 20 years ago.
And I happened to I've always
54
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,900
been drawn to energy healing,
but I started taking classes in
55
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:09,400
it and I noticed immediately,
how much better I felt Much more
56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,900
clear.
I was how I was able essentially
57
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:17,600
part of what I do is clearing
out the beliefs underneath.
58
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Why other people bring in that
energy identify the core wounds
59
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,500
underneath whatever is going on
in whatever.
60
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,700
The problem is that people are
having and then from there you
61
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,300
can learn to know what your next
steps are.
62
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:37,300
So for me, I was having a lot of
responsibility beliefs where I
63
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:40,500
felt like I had to To take care
of other people.
64
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:44,100
Or I didn't really know who I
was, unless I was attaching
65
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,100
myself to somebody else.
So once I had more of my energy
66
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:52,300
back, I was able to really deal
with what was going on with me.
67
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:55,500
And I was more able to detach
from that relationship in
68
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:59,100
particular part of the work that
I do, the reason why I got into
69
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,600
inner child, healing as well.
Was that when I started to work
70
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,500
with people I almost always like
99% of the time, we'll see the
71
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,300
inner child as being under.
The whatever the issue is.
72
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:13,400
So if you're having a
relationship problem or you are
73
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,200
feeling confused or unsure about
next steps, there's almost
74
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,400
always an inner child in some
form underneath that, that need
75
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,500
something from you.
So once I became more aware of
76
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:31,200
my own inner child in, you have
we all have many inner child
77
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,800
basis and parts.
Then I was able to know myself
78
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,000
better.
Which helped me to become more
79
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800
clear about when I needed it.
Wanted in general.
80
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,700
So with highest light healing
part of what I do is work with
81
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:46,100
people one-on-one, to help them
with whatever is coming up for
82
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,200
themselves in general.
It seems like a lot of the
83
00:04:49,207 --> 00:04:54,900
people I work with want to be
more clear about their next
84
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:58,200
steps or who they are.
In general, what they need in
85
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,600
general.
They want to hear their
86
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,700
intuition and then I also have
meditations.
87
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:06,500
I have an energy healing class
in inner child class as well.
88
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,800
I hope people will lot with
Girls, when they get activated,
89
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,500
when things come up in their
life, how to deal with that, all
90
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:18,500
of that is helped a lot by
knowing your energy better and
91
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:24,200
knowing energy, healing tools to
help you get to the next step of
92
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,400
growth and help.
You also just feel more
93
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,100
compassionate towards yourself
and allow whatever is coming up
94
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:33,800
to come up.
The more you have of yourself.
95
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,500
So to speak, the more you're
resilient, you are to be able to
96
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:39,500
handle whatever.
Coming up.
97
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,100
What are some common problems
that you're seeing?
98
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:43,900
That people are coming to your
with?
99
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:46,900
Like, in addition to
relationships, there's obviously
100
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:48,600
the brain-body connection,
right?
101
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,700
If you have anxiety, then you're
going to have insomnia, you're
102
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:54,200
going to have high blood
pressure, just curious like in
103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,000
terms of physical and some of
the mental issues that people
104
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,800
are coming to you with if you
could talk a little bit about
105
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,700
that.
I mean, I always preface this by
106
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:07,100
saying I'm not a doctor but I
have had, there's a wide range.
107
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:12,100
Like, I've had people who've had
Strange or unusual skin rash
108
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:15,300
that were able to be cleared
through more understanding about
109
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:17,900
what the connection is.
Again, I do want to preface it
110
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:21,900
by saying, I am not anti
medical, or I would never tell
111
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:24,300
somebody.
Don't go to a doctor to get that
112
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:27,500
fixed, but a lot of times people
will come to me if they've
113
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:30,100
already been to the doctor, and
it's not working.
114
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:33,600
But yeah, I mean, that actually
has been healed by energy
115
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,000
healing when I do the readings.
I separate our energy
116
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,100
afterwards.
Is to make sure that I'm very
117
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,400
adamant about boundaries that
I'm not taking on their energy.
118
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,900
They're not taking online.
So I often will forget the
119
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:52,000
specifics of what happened in
the session, but yeah, I've had
120
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,700
people come to me with chronic
fatigue and of course I mean
121
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,000
depression anxiety is a very
common reason that people will
122
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
come to me just to step back a
little bit because energy,
123
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
healing, I think is such a broad
topic, right?
124
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,700
But yeah, one topic that comes
up a lot.
125
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:11,700
Chakras.
And you have this amazing
126
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:13,400
meditation about clearing
chakras.
127
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,700
Yeah.
And I think it's something that
128
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:19,800
would really benefit people
because the frustration I have
129
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,800
with Healthcare again, I'm like,
you, I mean I'm not against
130
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,100
medication but the frustration I
have is this binary approach
131
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:31,800
about, you know, six verses well
and this piecemeal this this
132
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:35,300
artificial distinctions and
compartmentalization of the
133
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:38,300
human body, you know I have a
kidney problem or I have a heart
134
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:38,900
problem.
Mm.
135
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:43,000
But chakras are so important
because a lot of times that's
136
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,400
where you store your trauma.
Could you tell us a little bit
137
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,400
more about chakras and sort of
the room?
138
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,000
Yeah, I'm glad you brought that
up because that is actually how
139
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,800
I work with energy healing.
So, there's other modes of
140
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,000
energy, healing like Reiki, for
instance, is the one most people
141
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,900
are familiar with, but how I
work is chakra based.
142
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:06,500
So, I look at the energy stored
in the chakras through either
143
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:12,100
seeing pictures or getting Just
having a knowing of when I look
144
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:15,400
at the chakras.
What trauma is stored in them?
145
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,900
What pictures are there?
What?
146
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:19,400
Beliefs are there?
Whatever is being held.
147
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,900
But the chakras themselves are
there basically, they're
148
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:26,400
vortexes of energy, there's
many, many ones.
149
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,900
But there are seven main ones in
our body, the first five are
150
00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:33,600
actually a connected to the
spine.
151
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,400
So energetically, they are
attached to your body, your
152
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,200
physical body, as well.
All those ones are, but we also
153
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,200
have chakras in our feet.
Anyway, they're little energy
154
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,700
centers that, like you said, we
collect emotions and feelings in
155
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:52,900
them.
And depending on each one, it
156
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:54,900
has a center.
So, for instance, your fifth
157
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:57,900
chakra is in your throat, and
that's expression has to do with
158
00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:01,100
the events around expression,
there's the heart chakra, which
159
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:04,600
is obvious.
The solar plexus is about power
160
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,400
and control and will and also
just self power.
161
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,900
So, there's different topics.
So, to speak with each one and
162
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:15,700
the root chakra, as you
mentioned is around survival,
163
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,900
you can get a lot of
information.
164
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,400
Also by clearing out your
chakras because like you said,
165
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,000
that's where we hold a lot of
energy.
166
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,900
So, the chakra healing
meditation is really helpful
167
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:29,700
because even if you can't see or
know what energy is being
168
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:32,900
released when you do it, it's
still leaving.
169
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,600
It's just having the intention
to clear it out.
170
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,600
Not everybody is so in touch
with their energy.
171
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,500
But it's still happening.
Even if you don't feel lighter,
172
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,700
I will say the number one thing.
People say to me after a session
173
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:48,100
is that they feel lighter.
And that's just because the
174
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:52,100
energy is what they don't need
is leaving.
175
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,500
One of the main titles that you
have is that inner child
176
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,500
experts.
So could you talk a little bit
177
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:02,400
more about inner child, trauma,
and sort of how that plays into
178
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:06,400
the whole healing process?
Yeah, so essentially the inner
179
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:13,100
child is a part of Ourselves
that has to that stayed stuck in
180
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:16,300
an event.
They're staying this part of us
181
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:20,300
which you obviously, you can't
see physically but is very much
182
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:24,700
there energetically is in stuck
in a past time event.
183
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:29,100
And so you don't even have to
know or remember much of your
184
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:33,300
childhood to be able to heal it.
And that's something I love
185
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:37,600
about inner child work because
they will show up via triggers
186
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,200
or strong.
I'm feelings that you're having
187
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,400
and if you can learn to grow
this, why self the inner adult
188
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:49,500
to be the loudest voice in your
head?
189
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,500
Then you can help these past
Parts, these past inner, child
190
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:57,300
Parts, Kind of Rescue them to
integrate them into your system
191
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:02,400
because when they're not
integrated it we get more thrown
192
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,000
off of Center.
When something will come up,
193
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,600
until you got in an argument
with a friend, and you feel very
194
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,100
upset.
Abandoned and it's just, you get
195
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:13,700
lost in that feeling.
You feel extremely Amanda, you
196
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:17,400
can't get back to Center, you
feel, you know, ruins your day
197
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,600
kind of thing.
So then you can learn to Center
198
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,100
yourself, bring in self
compassion and speak to that.
199
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:28,700
Part of you, that is feeling
really abandoned likely.
200
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:32,400
It's a very, very young part of
yourself, and when that part
201
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,100
feels safe with you, then it can
be integrated.
202
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:39,200
So then the next time that you
feel hurt from a friend or That
203
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:41,300
maybe some abandonment gets
triggered.
204
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:45,300
It doesn't overtake you as much
because you have that feeling of
205
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,700
safety, it's more integrated
energetically essentially, the
206
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:52,100
more you're bringing your
present, self present, loving
207
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,100
self to the past, the Lester,
ruled by the past because that
208
00:11:57,100 --> 00:12:01,100
part of you gets the message.
Oh, this isn't happening
209
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,600
anymore, I'm actually not in the
past.
210
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,900
It really is like you go back
into the past without having a
211
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:11,000
visual component.
On it, but it really will feel
212
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,200
like it.
And so, the more you're bringing
213
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,800
your present self into it.
The less you will do that.
214
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,100
So I explored it a little bit,
not obviously the detail that
215
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:22,300
you have, but when any
discussions I've had like, for
216
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:25,400
instance, I have a really bad
Sweet Tooth.
217
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,500
Like I just been a chocoholic
and I just can't get none.
218
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:31,100
I can't get enough of this stuff
even though I know what it's
219
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:34,000
going to do to me the next day.
In terms of not, just wait, but
220
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,200
just in terms of cloudiness and
things like that.
221
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,200
And I did talk to somebody Who
works in energy, healing.
222
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:45,400
And they had said that that
stems from some inner child
223
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,400
trauma or was basically like,
you know, as a kid it was just
224
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,100
basically like you're told, you
know, this is bad, this is bad.
225
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:53,800
And so it's stifled.
So I wanted to maybe if you
226
00:12:53,808 --> 00:12:56,800
could talk a little bit more
about maybe how inner child
227
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,100
trauma might play out in terms
of things like addiction, not
228
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:04,900
just to like chocolate per se
but technology or validation or
229
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:06,700
whatever.
Maybe if you need to go into
230
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:08,100
that a little bit more.
Yeah.
231
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:12,200
Well, there's Lots of different
reasons and ways that that can
232
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,700
happen, just to use your
example.
233
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:18,200
If you have an inner child part,
that has been told has been
234
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,100
shamed, essentially for having
dessert, or, you know, has
235
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:26,200
associated with that with being
bad or wrong.
236
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,800
It's that, as you have noticed,
it's going to live with you,
237
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,900
that if that doesn't get
resolved in the moment at when
238
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:37,300
you were a child, and in fact,
if it was reinforced, that it
239
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:39,100
was bad, that's still.
With you.
240
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:44,800
So you would want to bring
compassion and figure out more
241
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,200
from that part of yourself.
What's going on here?
242
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,400
I want to know more about what
you're feeling right now.
243
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,800
So you could next time you want
chocolate, it also sounds like
244
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,900
you've moralized it in this
particular example where it's
245
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:03,300
bad if you have it as opposed to
okay, knowing you know what, I
246
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,700
don't feel good the next day
after I have this.
247
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:07,900
So I don't want to be doing
that.
248
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:12,300
So I can talk to that part of
yourself truly with curiosity,
249
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:15,200
like and ask it.
What's going on for you right
250
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,200
now?
Seems like, maybe, what might
251
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:22,000
come up, is this feeling like
they have to steal, it lets part
252
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
of you has to steal it or get
away with something and letting
253
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,300
this part of, you know, you know
what, we're not back at home
254
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:32,600
anymore.
That's not what's happening.
255
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,100
And just really having a
compassion conversation in that
256
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:38,100
way.
So it doesn't feel like
257
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:40,800
something you're trying trying
to get away with or that you
258
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,000
just are taken over by.
Yeah, it sounds like in essence
259
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,400
you it's almost like you have
energy.
260
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,400
Healing is like pressing pause
with the remote control on
261
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,000
what's going on because think
about a lot of times when you
262
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,900
feel this compunction to indulge
in chocolate it's because you're
263
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,900
stressed out and you know, I
think it seems like that would
264
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:03,700
be helpful is to just take a
deep breath and then maybe do a
265
00:15:03,708 --> 00:15:06,000
meditation.
But yeah, mind and yourself that
266
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,500
the situation is different,
right?
267
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,700
It's not that Energy, healing
presses, the pause.
268
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:15,100
It's just building up awareness
and part of the inner child.
269
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:20,500
Healing modality is to build up
that loving inner parent which
270
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:25,200
will pause which brings a
calmness which brings this
271
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,000
awareness.
And that's always the first step
272
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,200
with any kind of growth is
awareness at least with
273
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,500
spiritual growth.
I believe is, you know, you
274
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:38,500
can't change what, you're not
aware of so that first step.
275
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,600
Up is to pause and see what's
going on and even building up
276
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,800
resilience for changing a habit.
Unless it's really a deadly
277
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,700
happen, like, you know, drug
addiction or something.
278
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:54,400
I always encourage people to not
make themselves feel like it has
279
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,800
to be eliminated or changed
immediately.
280
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,000
But first just bringing this
awareness.
281
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,400
So if you can pause a little bit
before it lets say you have
282
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,900
chocolate, if that's something
that makes you feel bad.
283
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:09,400
The next day to have that
positive, say like okay, What's
284
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,800
coming up?
Like I said, inquiring with the
285
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,500
inner child first, just you
could even say to him.
286
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:16,300
Like, I'm not saying you can't
have it.
287
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,200
Well, you can have it.
But first, I want to just talk
288
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,500
to you for a second and see
what's coming up for you.
289
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,300
And then if you still want to
after that, we can do that.
290
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,100
The more you have that trust,
the more able you are to make
291
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:31,900
more changes.
Because right now that part of
292
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:34,600
you thinks is merged with your
inner child.
293
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,800
Actually, you are merged with
your inner child, so that part
294
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,500
of you thinks they have to get
away.
295
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,700
Way with it.
And they don't really trust that
296
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:44,200
you will let them have it at
some point or that there ever is
297
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,600
a good time or that they're not
shameful for having it so
298
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:51,100
changing that Dynamic first will
help to make overall changes.
299
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Do you see a lot of people who
come to you with problems with
300
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,800
fiction?
I mean, yeah.
301
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,100
Food is is a big one.
I haven't had a lot of people
302
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:05,099
with more serious addictions,
but I do have a, I am a believer
303
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:08,300
and intuitive eating.
I'll just fold disclosure.
304
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:12,099
I'm Anti Diet culture.
So it's not that I'm like oh
305
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:15,900
you're bad if you are wanting to
diet or anything like that.
306
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:19,200
But I am a big proponent in
listening to yourself and
307
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:24,000
Building self trust and a lot of
diet stuff is restrictive and
308
00:17:24,300 --> 00:17:27,300
and of course sometimes you need
to restrict sometimes if you
309
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,700
have diabetes or some or high
blood pressure or something,
310
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:35,100
you're going to have to do that.
But the more that you are doing
311
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:38,300
it from a place of understanding
and compassion within yourself
312
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:41,800
the The longer term you're going
to be able to sustain something
313
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,400
like that and when it is for
other reasons than it can be
314
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,500
hard to build up self-trust and
be doing that at the same time.
315
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,300
Yeah.
I'm like you I mean I I'm not
316
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:55,200
Anti Diet culture but it just
seems like a lot of these
317
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,200
programs like Overeaters
Anonymous sometimes because
318
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,400
you're attaching such a stigma
to a lot of these things that
319
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,500
you've loved for so long.
It can backfire and a lot of
320
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:09,300
times that your body will
respond right selling Overeaters
321
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:12,800
Anonymous, I'll just interrupt
you isn't a diet that actually
322
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,300
is a pro.
I'm not totally familiar with it
323
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:18,500
but that's a program to help
people heal their relationship
324
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:21,200
to food.
So I'm talking more about
325
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,900
restrictive diets like Weight
Watchers or something like that
326
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:29,600
where especially women have been
really given the message that
327
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,700
they are only worthy and people
in general though if they are
328
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,800
thin which is not true because
you know, healthy people can Be
329
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,800
fat, healthy people can be thin
unhealthy people can be thin.
330
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,300
So, anyway, it's a whole thing.
But, yeah, I mean, I was just
331
00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:48,900
choosing that one arbitrarily,
but I'm just saying, like, a lot
332
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:51,600
of these things that we talked
about like calorie counting, and
333
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,000
things like that.
Yeah, because you're vilifying
334
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,800
something that also gives you
pleasure.
335
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,000
I think it's sending your body
makes signals 90 from for me,
336
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,300
like, when I tried to just go
cold turkey, with chocolate and
337
00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:06,300
then my wife and I went out for
our anniversary, I had my
338
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:09,200
favorite which is creme brulee,
and I was like pretty Watch out
339
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,800
of commission for the whole
weekend.
340
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:12,800
So I think it is really
important to listen to your
341
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,900
body.
Not make these bogey men that
342
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:19,300
your body is going to respond in
turn and just happens.
343
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:22,000
Completely break down.
If you do it now you know,
344
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,700
falling off the wagon.
Yeah.
345
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:28,600
Well we could talk a lot about
culture but I won't but it
346
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,400
basically is a shaming.
There's a lot of morality with
347
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,000
food and an inner child terms
that is shaming your inner child
348
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,100
for different kinds of Foods,
whatever it is for you.
349
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:43,100
And again I'm not saying that
there aren't, of course there's
350
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:47,100
times when you have to restrict
for health reasons.
351
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:50,600
But yeah there's just it's a
little very loaded topic, that's
352
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,800
for sure.
Yeah.
353
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,700
And again again like with
addiction I mean it goes Way
354
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:56,200
Beyond.
It's like I said before it's
355
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,000
like food and for me the other
one is technology and social
356
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,800
media, just trying to keep those
things in check because these
357
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,800
companies, their multi-billion
dollar companies that literally
358
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,500
have phds and scientists, Yeah,
we're creating these programs to
359
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:13,900
short-circuit your dopamine
experience and everything like
360
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:16,900
that and I do too.
You know, that's something that
361
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:20,300
I have to bring more
Consciousness to myself as well
362
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:24,900
with my phone.
It is especially handling, you
363
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:26,700
know, growing up with a
narcissist and healing from
364
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:29,900
narcissistic abuse.
I actually think of Instagram
365
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:34,300
and Facebook and all of that.
Is it brings out a it's like a
366
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:37,400
narcissist.
That is a narcissist magnet.
367
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,100
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean it's wanting you
368
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:43,400
know, getting validation them
taking it away and then a
369
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,000
changing the algorithm.
So that you're coming back to
370
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,300
get approval which is a big
Dynamic and narcissist abuse.
371
00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:55,700
But so it is like, it's ripe for
all of our very human desires
372
00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:58,800
for validation.
Yeah, it's really tricky, it's
373
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,400
an interesting segue because I
didn't want to talk about your
374
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,400
Instagram feed, which you have
some amazing content that some
375
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,800
of the topics you talk about.
Like intuition, I think is a
376
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,100
really big one.
And one of the things I was
377
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:13,700
interested in because I've dealt
with inner child trauma and
378
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:16,900
growing up with narcissistic
influences, just curious.
379
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:20,500
I mean, like, what do you tell
people who want to trust their
380
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:22,300
intuition?
Because obviously, that is going
381
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:25,100
to lead you to the right path?
A lot of times.
382
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:28,400
But there is this once, bitten
twice, shy mentality.
383
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,000
Because there's this, when you
had the inner child of stifled
384
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,300
or stymied, there's this sense.
Like you just don't want to go
385
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:37,700
down that path.
How would you encourage people
386
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:40,300
who have gone through this?
This to trust their intuition.
387
00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:43,200
My understanding is just with
intuition is just something
388
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,500
that, obviously, you can't go
blindly and trust your intuition
389
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:49,100
on everything.
But I think, if you want to get
390
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:52,300
the best results, if you want to
really invest your energy than
391
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:55,400
you need to follow that
intuition, it seems to me like
392
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,100
children of the ones with the
strongest intuition, because
393
00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:01,300
they haven't been beaten down
yet because they haven't faced
394
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,400
those consequences.
So, that's the time when
395
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800
intuition strongest, but you
have somebody who's gone through
396
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,200
a lot of that trauma.
Going to be sort of cut off, you
397
00:22:10,208 --> 00:22:13,200
know, that intuition.
So how do you encourage people
398
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,500
who have gone through something
narcissistic?
399
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:18,800
Abuse having Junior, child,
stymied to trust their intuition
400
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,600
again.
Well, so it's a lot of what I've
401
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,300
already talked about in terms of
building up trust and getting to
402
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:31,500
know the difference between
feeling impulsive and fear and
403
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:35,100
being merged with your inner
child and having more of that
404
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,800
connection to self where you are
hearing your Highest information
405
00:22:40,100 --> 00:22:42,600
when your nervous system is
really activated.
406
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,900
It is very hard to hear your
intuition.
407
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:48,500
So if a lot of times, I will get
the question, what is the
408
00:22:48,508 --> 00:22:50,600
difference between fear and
intuition?
409
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,800
And if you are in the middle of
your fear, like I said, it's
410
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,900
very hard to hear.
It is likely not your intuition.
411
00:22:57,900 --> 00:23:01,700
If you're feeling calm and
you're getting information,
412
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,500
like, don't go down that street.
That's a good indication.
413
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:08,400
That that's your highest self,
that's your intuition.
414
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,400
I agree with you though.
It is a good point that every
415
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:16,200
feeling of intuition isn't
always correct, but the more
416
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,800
that you are paying attention to
like a lot of times I will help
417
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,800
people to trust their intuition
just by starting to trust the
418
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,200
tiniest decisions.
They make, if somebody is very
419
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,300
used to doubting themselves
because of a childhood, like you
420
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:36,500
mentioned, I will just ask them
to notice every decision they
421
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:39,900
make that they are aware of.
If so what you want for
422
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:44,100
breakfast is that like you know
if you notice oh I definitely
423
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:48,500
want oatmeal, I know that notice
that and really valid a oh I
424
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,700
what does that feel like okay.
I do know what that feels like.
425
00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:56,100
I know I need to brush my teeth.
It may sound funny but that's is
426
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:58,000
you listening to your
information.
427
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,200
It is very small things,
sometimes people feel like
428
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,800
intuition is like some magical
thing that people hear from, you
429
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,000
know, a voice comes down from
the heavens or something.
430
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,000
But It really isn't, it's
quieter.
431
00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:14,100
But the more you are used to
what it feels like to trust
432
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:18,000
yourself as you build up that
self-trust, that's what your
433
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,300
intuition is, and it doesn't eat
and the more you will get
434
00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:24,500
comfortable even doubting it,
the more confident you are.
435
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:28,700
Actually, the more you can know
what it feels like to be like,
436
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:30,600
well, hmm.
The more confident, you will
437
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,400
feel doubting it if that makes
sense like I feel okay asking
438
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,200
myself?
Well, do I really feel that
439
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,000
whereas, before when I wasn't
Not as connected to myself, it
440
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,300
would throw me into a loop.
I don't know if I should trust
441
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:44,400
myself, I don't know.
Do I feel that?
442
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:48,100
I'm confused where as now
because I have a greater sense
443
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:51,400
of self, I can be calmer about
it and say like hmm let me check
444
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,800
that out and see if it is what I
want to do or I can give it some
445
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,900
time.
It doesn't have the urgency
446
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,200
behind it.
It sounds like they're can also
447
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,700
sometimes be an extreme of that.
You talked about this on your
448
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:05,300
feet is hyper-vigilance.
Could you talk a little bit more
449
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:08,200
about that like maybe getting
too focused?
450
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,300
Hyper-vigilance again, when you
come from any kind of trauma but
451
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:14,900
a lot of times it is with
narcissistic parents, you will
452
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:19,000
have a part of you that
developed as a child, that had
453
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,400
to be hyper focused on the
adults around you and read them.
454
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,600
So to speak in order to be safe
for instance.
455
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,800
In my case, my mom was often
very angry and would explode.
456
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,500
And there were ways that I knew
I could avoid that.
457
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:40,000
And so as a child, I had to very
quickly Lee figure out how do I
458
00:25:40,008 --> 00:25:42,600
behave?
So that she doesn't get angry.
459
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,000
And then once I wasn't in her
home anymore, I still had that
460
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
part of me, that felt, oh my
God.
461
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,600
In order for me to be safe, I
have to figure out what is this
462
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,800
person thinking, or what does
that person thinking.
463
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:58,700
That part of me, didn't get the
message that, oh, wait, no, no.
464
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:02,300
Other people can't determine
your survival like they could
465
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:06,700
have when I was a child.
And also, I don't need to be
466
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:09,700
checking in with them.
Anyway, like, What my
467
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:14,000
information is the most
important in terms of my inner
468
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,200
sense of stability and safety.
So it's a very common part that
469
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:23,100
I see that in so many people and
it is the I would say it's the
470
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:26,300
hardest inner child part because
it needs to heal.
471
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:30,100
I would say because it really
needs the reminder in the
472
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:33,000
beginning very frequently and
then sometimes not in the
473
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:34,900
beginning.
I still deal with that.
474
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:39,400
Part of me that after really let
know Oh wait, you're safe,
475
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,100
you're safe.
It's not.
476
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,000
Don't need to read the room.
I think you mentioned something.
477
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,700
Sometimes people can experience
like emotional flashbacks where
478
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:49,700
it's almost like they're
experiencing a lot of those bad
479
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:52,600
feelings even though there's
nothing necessarily triggering
480
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,000
it.
Yeah, well that comes emotional.
481
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,500
Flashbacks is from this great
book called, see PTSD from the
482
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:03,600
surviving to thriving this
therapist Pete Walker but that
483
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,300
is was really revelatory for me
because it yeah, you can just
484
00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:12,300
Feel of fissile if you had a gem
in energy terms, if you had a
485
00:27:12,308 --> 00:27:15,800
general feeling in your house
of, I don't know, like
486
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,900
abandonment or depression or
have this just a heaviness or
487
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:24,400
whatever it was like maybe it
was hyper feeling of intense
488
00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:28,600
activation all the time
sometimes that can just show up
489
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,100
in your system seemingly out of
nowhere it can have a source
490
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,800
where if you get in an argument
or something like that I don't
491
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,600
know.
Depending on what it was for you
492
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,400
getting cut off.
Off in traffic or some, it can
493
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,900
appear where you just like back
in that moment and you feel it,
494
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:47,600
emotionally and yeah, inner
child killing again, can help
495
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,600
with that.
The more that you're
496
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,700
establishing this presence of
safety within, tell me a little
497
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:57,300
bit more about podcast.
If you could yeah I love the
498
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:00,200
title and just been a nutshell.
If you could just tell me more
499
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,100
about it.
Yeah, so for me, that I really
500
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:07,600
wanted to talk about woo stuff
because it has such a negative
501
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,200
connotation.
To it in association with it.
502
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,800
And in my life, as I mentioned,
it really was, those quote
503
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,800
unquote will practices that
changed my life for the better.
504
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,900
I did go to therapy.
I love therapy for a lot of
505
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:24,600
people, but I have found that
not just for me, but for a lot
506
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,800
of people that talk therapy in
the beginning is super helpful.
507
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,800
That cognitive part can be very
validating to have a therapist
508
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,200
say to you like, yes, this is
what it is.
509
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,800
Yes, you had trauma.
Yes, this Opened.
510
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,300
But then the next steps with
therapy did not really help me.
511
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:47,200
Not, it didn't give me tools and
I think that is changing.
512
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,400
There are more therapist doing
other things, adding tools
513
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,000
social but things what I don't
like is that things like energy.
514
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,200
Healing have been written off as
not being helpful or it's just
515
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,100
for the special few.
You have to be gifted and also
516
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:04,200
pseudoscience, which is really
ridiculous, you know, because
517
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,500
it's so powerful.
Yeah, so yes it was really The
518
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:12,000
energy healing tools and the
inner child tools.
519
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,100
That help me to make real true
changes to bring me happiness.
520
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:21,600
To make me feel more self-love
and secure and all of that
521
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,500
stuff.
It really changed my life and
522
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:27,500
I've seen it change many, many
people's lives and it's not just
523
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:31,800
those tools but we talked to
people like astrologers and
524
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,400
people who do meditation, we
talk to a lot of different
525
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:36,700
experts the holistic approach.
Basically.
526
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:40,200
Yeah.
And there's something called
527
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,900
human design and the any of G
stuff like that.
528
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:46,900
That I think are all very
helpful and can only help the
529
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,400
journey.
And so I'm pretty passionate
530
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,500
about getting the word out that
these things can help and they
531
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:56,000
don't have to be something
you're ashamed or embarrassed to
532
00:29:56,008 --> 00:29:59,300
admit that you do it.
Really helpful.
533
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,700
So that's what we talked about
on the podcast, just how it
534
00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:05,900
affects our day-to-day life.
And if we don't have a guest, I
535
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:09,900
take a particular topic and talk
about like Gasps lightning or we
536
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:13,500
even talked about death in the
first episode and how energy
537
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:17,700
healing and inner child's work
can help process and deal with
538
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:19,700
all of these different topics.
Yeah.
539
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:22,800
And as I said earlier, I mean, I
think just from the title and
540
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,900
just the tone you guys have.
I think it's great because there
541
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:28,100
are people who are sort of on
the fence.
542
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:30,800
They're like, oh, you know, I
had a cousin who had some good
543
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,000
results, but they're like and,
you know, they're a little bit,
544
00:30:34,100 --> 00:30:35,900
it's a little too out there for
them.
545
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,900
So I think the fact that you're
calling it would just kind of It
546
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:41,700
seems like a tongue-in-cheek,
your kind of acknowledging that
547
00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:44,400
there is a little bit of
skepticism out there really.
548
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,200
Yeah.
There's a lot of skepticism and
549
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,200
we we talked about it with humor
and again, I'm not trying to
550
00:30:49,208 --> 00:30:54,500
convert anybody but I do love
helping people and I think it's
551
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:57,900
a real shame that people
wouldn't find these kind of
552
00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:01,700
tools because of the prejudice
against it.
553
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:03,000
Yeah.
And as you said earlier, I mean,
554
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
I think therapy and medication
to an extent.
555
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000
I mean therapy, can these things
definitely Their place.
556
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,700
But if you just limit yourself
to the tried and true, if you
557
00:31:12,700 --> 00:31:15,600
just go by the book, then you
really doing yourself a
558
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,600
disservice and I mean and I'm
like you I mean I'm not here to
559
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:22,300
get drag anyone Kicking and
Screaming to start doing
560
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:24,900
breathwork and meditation.
It's helped me immensely.
561
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,100
People have to be in the right
place to receive it, but I think
562
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:31,800
through these kinds of
conversations and just awareness
563
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,500
and it'll help, at least have
more constructive dialogues than
564
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:38,700
sort of having this Us Versus
Them approach, which Does nobody
565
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:40,400
any good?
Yeah, and I think a lot of
566
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,500
people again, I am Pro therapy,
if it works, it's great.
567
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:46,800
But I think a lot of times
people get turned off by
568
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,900
therapy, if they can't find
somebody that they relate to and
569
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:55,200
that's also true of course, with
working like with somebody like
570
00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:00,400
me, but even if you don't fully
resonate with the person that
571
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,300
you're working with, There's You
Come Away with tools or you come
572
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,500
away with like with breath work.
For instance it was a good
573
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:10,700
example if Don't love your
breath work practitioner.
574
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:15,900
That's not going to affect the
tools that you learned and doing
575
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:19,200
the breath work as much as it
does with the therapist, you
576
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,500
know, where you really do have
to align with them.
577
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:25,000
And they have to you have to
build this trust and you have to
578
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,800
get them.
And I mean that's really
579
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,700
important with therapy.
So there are what you know, you
580
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:33,400
can still learn the tools in a
variety of ways without having
581
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,500
to test so many different, you
know, go through whole thing.
582
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:38,900
