In today's episode, I answer a question posed about episode 154: Dismemberment and Remembering of the Masculine.
In that episode, I read the Grimm's fairy tale The Handless Maiden, also known as The Woman Without Hands.
Someone asked the question, "what exactly do we do in the 7 years of being in the forest while growing back our hands?"
In this episode I use the text The Feminine in Fairytales by Marie- Louise von Franz to aid in my answering of that question.
I discuss the implications of psychological introversion, confrontation with genuine loneliness, and stepping away from the projected roles that have been placed upon us by culture.
In the forest, one is reclaiming a sense of spontaneity and trust in the self-regulating process of the psyche and 're-membering' themselves in the process; especially concerning the new potentials of the creative masculine energy within.
Again, here is a text version of the fairy tale: https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm031.html

In today's episode, my fiancé Rick Alexander and I discuss the influence that porn has on us individually and collectively.
We discuss the relationship, or lack thereof, to the feminine, the shadow, and to darkness.
We talk about shame and its influence within this pattern.
We talk about demons, darkness, and the perceivable loss of control one can feel when caught in this archetypal pattern.

In today's episode, I read the Grimm's fairy tale The Handless Maiden, also known as The Woman Without Hands.
I discuss the implications of psychological dismemberment and the process of remembering, especially concerning the new potentials of the creative masculine energy within.
This is a story about dismemberment as a result of the old masculine principle making deals with the devil. Yet that comes at a great cost; a father must chop the hands off of his daughter. This dismemberment catalyzes her painful, but beautiful journey of transformation.
In this episode, I discuss how my fiancé was able to provide me with "silver hands" during a period of deep dismemberment in my life. I also discuss the process of pulling back those projections and learning to regrow a genuine connection to the inner masculine so that our own hands may grow back.
Here is a text version of the fairy tale: https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm031.html
As promised, here is a lecture on the fairytale by Jungian scholar Dr. Raina Manuel-Paris: https://youtu.be/7VKEiNXRuGw

In today's episode, I discuss why trauma renegotiation is so confusing.
In particular, I discuss the relationship of space and expansion and how that gets confused in the system with danger and threat.

In today's episode, I discuss what happens when an experience of trauma dysregulates the internal wiring and high voltage energy floods the system physiologically.
I discuss the importance of slowing the renegotiation process down to get into the high activation energy stuck in the micro-moments of the experience.

In today's podcast I discuss the relational dilemma of modernity: everyone seems to be wanting a hit of the "highs" that one can feel when falling in love.
This is an archetypal experience, meaning it is in the realm of the gods.
We can become disappointed when our partners do not live up to those divine projections.
But of course they couldn't, because they are mere mortals, with flaws and mess included.
In this episode I discuss the nervous system pattern of addiction to this state of relationship and map that onto the archetypal realm of love and suffering implied in the human condition.

In today's episode I discuss boundaries, and not the type of boundaries we usually talk or hear about.
Boundaries describe the relationship between self and Other.
Well, what if trauma has interrupted the development of your sense of self? Can you actually set boundaries with another person if you don't have a clear sense of self?
I talk about boundaries around your sense of self including our physiological self protective responses.
I discuss what can happen when these are thwarted (defensive self protection and/or enmeshment with the outer Other and identification with the inner Other).
I discuss the importance in developing these in order to develop an adequate mirror of reflection for your process.

In today's episode I discuss what happens when we go into an inner process and solely expect to "feel better" in that process.
We start to lose perspective and start denying the value in moments of contraction and creating a capacity for conscious suffering.
We may be prioritizing an approach that promotes pleasure seeking (or an escape out of survival physiology) rather than a move towards completeness which is inclusive of the negative aspects of the process.
You can have a process that moves towards completeness AND moves out of survival physiology, but that takes time and patience for the process.
Contemplation: what are your expectations on your process of inner work?

In today's podcast I share one of the first religious/mystical experiences I had during a rock bottom moment in my life.
I discuss how this experience shattered my ego defenses and allowed a connection to something greater than myself and the inflated ego structure I had at that time.
I circle around Jung's theory of the Self and what that is in comparison to the Ego.
