1 hr 8 min - #60, Part 2 - Relaxing with the Parts That Can’t Relax
As the conversation continues, Jess sees Frank's agitation as a spot of color rather than a wash over the whole canvas. A connected exploration follows, including how we learn to surf the waves of our feelings and parts with growing and nuanced skill.
When parts ask, "Did I make a mistake?" can we rejoice with our contraction? Can we say yes to our nearly overwhelming feelings and beliefs and stories? How do we say yes to our no's? The episode ends with a content cliffhanger that Frank and Jess are excited to explore in the next episode.Recorded 1/24/24

36 min - #60 pt 1 Minding the Gap: Finding meaning and connection through agitation
When Frank enters into the space feeling agitated, it opens up a conscious dialogue about the gaps in our perceptions of ourselves and how others see us, what meanings we create when we are "struggling" with circumstances in life, and the difference between struggling or simply being present to all feelings as they arise. Lots of gaps to mind, each offering an infinite richness in their mystery. Join us for the open and courageous in-the-moment exploration of relationship and presence.

39 min - #59, Part 2 -- My Part's Worst Fear
In part two Frank’s and Jess’s parts quickly get all tangled up in a mini drama of judgments and apology after Frank retroactively says the thing he was afraid Jess might hear as criticism… and she does. Or, rather, her parts do! This gives us a chance to return to a question from episode 58: Can we choice-fully make meaning when our parts are triggered? We also look at what is the “Self” and is it a part or simply who we are?

34 min - #59, Part 1 — The Mid-Winter Meeting of the Hermits
Jess and Frank enter into a wintery conversation, one which Jess likens to two hermits meeting during a break from their separate retreats from the world. The tone is introspective and deliberate.
In the first section, both Jess and Frank allow themselves to let go more into a flow in the episode, allowing for a relaxing of their 'doing,' task-oriented minds, easing into a present moment conscious and interconnected "we" space. They open to the discomfort of this unknown, acknowledging and embracing the anxiousness about stepping into it. This leads to a mutual increased sense of aliveness in the moment, in which Frank feels encouraged to reveal his unfinished trauma around criticism. A trauma which causes him to hold concerns about others feeling criticized by him.
Jess asks him directly if he sees that dynamic show up on the podcast and his response is authentic and enlivening, and sets the stage for next week's episode.

48 min - #58, Part 2 — Finding Windows of Agency
As the conversation on meaning-making continues, Jess and Frank make room for disagreement to be a source of connection. While Frank explores the importance that conscious meaning-making holds for him right now, Jess gets clearer on her internal resistance to the idea of always having some agency.
