In this episode, Maverick Joyce moves from a direct, hopeful reframe of rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) into frank conversation about the therapy field’s structural pressures.

In the first segment, Maverick begins with the RSD teaching: stop calling it who you are. RSD is framed as a real, visceral experience—but not an identity. Maverick describes RSD as a relational wound that can be healed through somatic work, meaning-making, and like-hearted community. Healing is presented as a process of “retuning the instrument” of the body – the nervous system—from being calibrated to other people’s opinions into alignment with one’s own inner knowing, self-trust, and purpose. Maverick explains how feelings become thoughts, thoughts become beliefs, and beliefs shape what feels possible—arguing that changing the somatic imprint of rejection is the pathway from coping to transformation and radical self-acceptance.

From there, Maverick and Andie explore what happens when therapists lose connection to the role of healer inside rigid, fear-based professional systems. They name how board oversight, scarcity, and competition can push clinicians into protection instead of connection—where wounds “ooze” into the work and the field normalises rigidity, policing, and mistrust. A central theme is insurance as a “third person in the room”: the requirement to prove “medical necessity,” pathologise clients, and prioritise coding and documentation instead of attunement and relational depth. They also touch on the broader culture of hoarding, modality status dynamics, and how underpayment and business-skills gaps get misdirected into scapegoating (telehealth, “saturation,” other clinicians) rather than collective action and sustainable models rooted in reciprocity.

The episode closes with final reflections on RSD, invitations to follow the podcast and explore resources in the show notes, and engage with Maverick’s offerings—including a Radical Acceptance of the Birth Chart series and a longer-term coaching cohort through Unlock Your Inner Genius.

This episode looks at part of Chapter 4 of Luz en lo Oscuro, covering identity, plurality, and navigating conflict when people have very different lived experiences. We look at Anzaldúa's concepts of New Tribalism, nepantleras, and a little bit of nos/otras, and how they connect with Critical Reflections, plurality, and transformation. This episode emphasises the importance of innovation during these times, as the goal posts are constantly moving -- so doing the same thing as always, isn't going to work.

In this episode I talk about the interrelatedness and synergy of Intersectionality and Critical Reflections, and build on the last couple episodes. I talk about my own experiences with Critical Reflections, and reflect on decolonisation and community building, and how they connect with Critical Reflections and Intersectionality.

In honour of the Full Moon in Scorpio on 4/23, this is an episode about transformation. I've been under the weather so it's a bit shorter and more of a primer, covering breadth rather than depth. I talk about transformation, decolonisation, and how critical reflections is a way of systematising transformation and community building in a decolonial way.

In this episode, I talk about how the episodes I've created already are interrelated and connected together, and how they connect to decolonisation and collective liberation. I talk about marginalisations and privileges and their relationship to colonialism and decolonisation, as well as different ways we can hold our marginalisations and privileges so that we can engage in anti-oppression work without being activated or personalising critiques on privileges. I talk about the art of transformation, the liminal spaces, and end with a reflection on Pisces and Aries energy, and the equal importance of light and dark in transformation.
