This conversation is an intersection between science and spirituality as we examine the meaning of "dark attack." In this episode, we dissect hypervigilance and the need to habitually shield ourselves and scan the fields for threats. We move on to comparing and contrasting hypervigilance and situational awareness, journeying deeper into spiritual hygiene and what that entails. We consider the need for congruency and consistency in both our health practices and spiritual practices to cultivate the proper support for our entire being. We, then, discuss the inability of the traumatized individual to learn new behaviors and break "looping" patterns, touch on cognitive dissonance, "doing the work," have a raw and tender moment with Kenna (Jodi's daughter), a beautiful kitty-concerto from Beatrix, Dannica's cat, and wrap up on the topic of honoring our personal agreements to create safety. We leave this episode with a massive cliff hanger that we will resolve in Episode 11.
