Ep 166: Why do I feel WORSE during my trauma healing?
Sunday Jan 08, 2023
Sunday Jan 08, 2023
In today's episode, I discuss the immensity of grief that can accompany a transition out of dissociative life into a reality of complexity and relatedness.
I believe grief reflects and 'makes real' our thresholds.
When clients move from living their whole lives in a dissociative reality, disconnected from the here and now and the relational experience, returning to life can bring with it an immense amount of grief.
"At the point the patient begins to abandon the instant and absolute 'truth' of dissociative reality in favor of internal conflict and human relatedness, the patient discovers that there is no path without pain." -Phil Bromberg
Paul Russell also states, "We have to presume that the pain accompanying this grief is extreme, among the most painful of life's experiences."

Ep 164: Embodiment of the divine
Monday Dec 12, 2022
Monday Dec 12, 2022
In today's episode, I discuss the process of embodying elements of divinity within the human vessel (aka the body).
The paradoxical thing about incarnation is that I feel like the incarnation of spirit into the body is almost always traumatic. This is because we are dealing with immense mysterious forces.
With this, I discuss the limitations and struggles we face when we are destined to attempt the incarnation of spirit in matter.
I quote at length the text The Religious Function of the Psyche by Lionel Corbett

Hi all. Danielle here. Wow...It has been a BUSY month with A LOT of things going on (aka travel, sickness, conferences, etc)...all of which kept me from getting behind the mic and getting new episodes out to you.

Ep 161: James Hillman and Archetypal Psychology
Sunday Oct 23, 2022
Sunday Oct 23, 2022
In today's episode, I discuss why I find James Hillman's, the founder of archetypal psychology, work so influential and important to consider if you are interested in depth psychology.
In this podcast, I discuss an important pillar of Hillman's called "Pathologizing," and I discuss its role in revisioning modern, and often one-sided, approaches to psychology.

Ep 159: Nervous System Dysregulation and the Archetypal Realm
Thursday Oct 13, 2022
Thursday Oct 13, 2022
In today's episode I answer a question asked on my IG feed:
"How do mood/personality disorders (like bipolar) interact with or affect how psychological archetypes play out in our psyche?"
I go into the nervous system patterns of bipolar disorder as well as Jung's map of the psyche where psyche and matter (body) are not considered separate.
***Given the sensitive exploration around mood disorders, please do not misuse the information supplied for substitution of licensed psychological medical advice.

Ep 158: Navigating Resentment
Sunday Oct 02, 2022
Sunday Oct 02, 2022
In today's episode I discuss navigating the somatic experience of resentment.
I present the idea that perhaps resentment is the digestible form of thwarted fight responses that had be be split off during experiences of trauma or abuse.
I present imagining resentment as a symptom that pushes against our defensives that have unconsciously been put in place to protect from the overwhelming intensity of deep anger or rage that once had to be dissociated.

In today's episode, I discuss why "faking it until we make it" doesn't feel great sometimes.
