In today's episode, I discuss a particular pattern in the nervous system called global high activation. In this state, one can experience a sense of exhaustion or chronic overwhelm from being physiologically in a constant state of high activation whilst that activation is being suppressed by a dorsal vagal shutdown. This is like driving a car with the foot on the gas and the brake at the same time. I have discussed this pattern in different podcast episodes, such as: Ep 151: Addiction to falling in love Enjoy the show!

In today's episode, I open up a conversation about what it means to be average. What are the true motivations behind being exceptional? Do we actually deeply fear being forgotten? Unaccepted? Unloved? The interview article with Marion Woodman can be found here. Enjoy the show! Be sure to rate, review, and share the show with those who you feel would enjoy the show! Thanks for listening!

In today's episode, I dive into how we can possibly learn to make contact with and support ourselves through recurring bouts of pain in a way that honor's the body's subjective experience. I use a client example to show how body armoring and muscle tension can correlate with each other and how we can respond in an alternative way to manual manipulation. Enjoy the show!

In today's episode, I discuss why this show isn't built upon foundations or intentions of fixing your problems. "Okay then, Danielle, then what is the show about?" I go into this a bit more deeply in the episode, and I use the James Hillman quote, "Evidently, a genuine solution must have the capacity to stabilize. It must sustain a condition, not merely dissolve it," to give flavor and context to my intentions behind the episodes! Enjoy the show!

In today's episode, I discuss the immensity of grief that can accompany a transition out of dissociative life into a reality of complexity and relatedness. I believe grief reflects and 'makes real' our thresholds. When clients move from living their whole lives in a dissociative reality, disconnected from the here and now and the relational experience, returning to life can bring with it an immense amount of grief. "At the point the patient begins to abandon the instant and absolute 'truth' of dissociative reality in favor of internal conflict and human relatedness, the patient discovers that there is no path without pain." -Phil Bromberg Paul Russell also states, "We have to presume that the pain accompanying this grief is extreme, among the most painful of life's experiences."

In today's episode, I discuss the process of embodying elements of divinity within the human vessel (aka the body). The paradoxical thing about incarnation is that I feel like the incarnation of spirit into the body is almost always traumatic. This is because we are dealing with immense mysterious forces. With this, I discuss the limitations and struggles we face when we are destined to attempt the incarnation of spirit in matter.  I quote at length the text The Religious Function of the Psyche by Lionel Corbett Enjoy the show!
