In this jam-packed and very nourishing episode, embodiment coach Syanna Wand and I...
- discuss trauma as a chronic contractive state that doesn't allow for the expansion required to nourish ourselves
- talk about widening our windows of tolerance and how we work with our bodies to do that
- discuss heightened sensitivity (people who feel EVERYTHING) and how interoception can be scary and anxiety-inducing for people who want to feel in their bodies LESS, not more
- talk about feeling into the body when you experience health anxiety
- discuss the need-satisfaction cycle and how we get into habits of compulsively seeking fullness and aren't totally sure how to stop once we begin to complete the need-satisfaction cycle
- have an in-depth discussion about caregivers, attunement needs, and self-sabotage
- talk about nourishment barriers — the blocks we have in place to nourishment because it feels dangerous and how we can move through those with boundary work and safe dialogue
- have a gentle and compassionate discussion about victim mentality as a space of chronic emotional hunger
- explore how identity as belonging and connection intersect with victimhood, illness, and wellness
