This Free Spirit

In this episode we discuss the somewhat mysterious world of our core belief systems. We look at what core beliefs are, where they come from, how they can create distress in our lives, and how we can begin working to unravel them. Learning how to observe and gently challenge our core beliefs might be the most important work we can do in our process of awakening and truly knowing the self.

In last weeks episode we left off feeling like we had even more to say about pain! We've decided it's one of our favorite things to both talk about and work on with our clients. So consider this episode a "part two" to the pain conversation. 

In this weeks episode we also took the conversation further by providing concrete DIY tools that will allow you to begin tackling the subtle art of greeting and processing your pain. 

Lastly, keep an eye out for this weeks newsletter where we'll highlight our DIY therapy tool and our mantra of the week. 

We'll see in you in next weeks episode where we'll be exploring the power of core beliefs.

In Good Health, 

Amy & Steph

Life is difficult. There is pain. There is pleasure.  While most of us are willing to thoroughly engage pleasure, pain is another story. Many of us spend a lifetime resisting the pain of living. What if we allowed ourselves to be with our pain? How would it change our lives? 

The truth about pain includes:
It is here anyway.
It belongs.
It teaches.
It humbles.
It opens.
It catalyzes joy.

Please enjoy!

In this episode we discuss the sometimes mysterious concept of "processing" in therapy. What exactly is processing? What are we aiming to achieve by processing our emotions and our experiences? And perhaps more importantly, what are some simple ways we can process more productively as we navigate life's turbulent ups and downs? We answer these and other questions in this casual and conversational episode. Please enjoy the conversation and visit us anytime at www.diytherapypodcast.com.

In this episode we're keeping things casual. This was actually recorded awhile back, during a time when we were both struggling to find our flow as new podcasters. We decided to just hit record and see what transpired... The result was this ebbing and flowing conversation around personal challenges, our cultural attachments to productivity, the importance of including soulful work in our medical models, and so much more. 

Thanks for tuning in and supporting the podcast. If you enjoy this episode or have questions or suggestions for us, we would love to hear from you! Please reach out any time at www.diytherapypodcast.com.

We'll see in you in the next episode!

Anthony Davis is a Craniosacral Therapist (CST). Anthony and I (Amy) have a deep chat about how we met, what craniosacral therapy is, and how effective it has been for myself and my son. We also talked at length about energy and the way that it moves through the body (or doesn't), how the body stores emotional pain, what books we have read that turn our spiritual gears, and so much more. This is a spiritual chat between two energy workers . I hope you enjoy!

In this episode we discuss the transformative healing power of perspective. Perspective can profoundly change the intensity of our suffering since it instantaneously grounds us in the reality of life's inherent ups and downs. Perspective is always available to us, and offers us the comforting reminder that everything is always changing and that even when we're not ok... we're always going to be ok.
