Let's talk about empathy: highly sensitive empathic attunement, those who have no empathy at all, empathy's impact on co-dependency, empathy through the feminine/masculine framework, and how it can feel impossible to manage empathy in times of global suffering.

A masculine-dominated culture is asked to stop hustling and stay home instead? As the world asks for feminine traits to take the lead in uncertain, community-focused times, those obedient to the masculine face fear and anxiety about a new way of being.
Let's talk about it.
This episode I'm paying tribute to legendary sports broadcaster and WRHU mentor Ed Ingles who passed away this week. I discuss how his mentorship helped me overcome my own self-imposed silence and get me on the path to self-discovery, self-expression, and self-healing, as well as the patient, nurturing ways this broadcasting legend empowered college students to follow their dreams.

Why it can be helpful to understand food through the lens of addiction, how relational wounding and sexual repression may influence our food relationships, and why consciousness and shadow integration may help satisfy our hunger.

Different therapists take different approaches to therapy. I explore how some approaches are inherently rooted in masculine qualities while others in feminine. Why does this matter? Is there a right time for these certain interventions? How can these different approaches be used in service to balance?

People experiencing oppression are not generating illness from within, they're being poisoned from the outside and then punished for how they respond to that poison. If we, as therapists, don't let that part of the conversation into the room, we're going to pathologize the wrong part of the equation, we're going to make our client the "Identified Patient," and we're going to perpetuate their oppression.

What is moral injury and why are oppressive systems working so hard to convince us we're just "burned out" instead?

The modern world is not as sane as it thinks it is. One of the most powerful men on the planet called empathy "civilizational suicide" while he exploits human and natural resources…
To help illustrate, a binary: masculine and feminine. Not gender-dependent but rather spiritual polarities contained in all genders; ancient archetypes inherited from our collective unconscious. Moon and sun, nature and the artificial, Dionysian and Apollonian, yin and yang; two sides of the same coin. Both needed for the multitudes to be found; both needed for us to be whole.
But the masculine has dominated the western, Imperialist way of life to the point of its worst qualities suffocating us; righteous individualism, scarcity, greed, rage, cruelty, profiteering, violence, authoritarianism.
It’s other side? Community, creativity, compassion, patience, abundance, faith, love, intimacy, collaboration -- things we're convinced are weak, silly, or sinful so the masculine shadow can maintain its dominance. Can we revive the feminine while also repairing what's been damaged in its longstanding cultural repression? We'll accelerate our collapse if we don’t try.
