i love this conversation and would love to learn more from Sydney <3

Thank you for this thoroughly informative and enlightening discussion on mental illness and the spiritual dimension. I work as a psych and have an interest in psychotherapy. I am also a Christian and believe there is a spiritual world . Will be connecting with Jerry and Laura.

I have nothing but respect for the real teaching,I have followed a few different types of Buddhist and Taoist teachings,grown up adults partaking in agreement is one thing, abuse is another!! ladies please, please be careful. unfortunately there are a lot of frauds, please don't be complicit,come forward.expose any evil.true Buddhism is not about abuse.

I'm greatly enjoying a weird kind of somatic meditation. Having read recently about the value in lying on the floor with legs up the wall, I'm doing that, and, playing some favorite music. I allow my body to do as it wishes in response to the music, and I just keep smiling during about 20 minutes of this!

Great tips from Dr,. Marisa. Thanks

Awesome ❤

Love Jon’s honesty. We need to hear more of this, brilliant! He could care less about Marketing. The tide is changing, DR’s r a great resource educating public breaking the marketing BS

The audio quality when Sara speaks is very poor.

I would love to listen to an interview with Sarah Peyton talking about self-compassion as well.

'Promo SM' 💕

Great great interview teaching and help on healing..thanks

I don't look at people on the street or hardly anywhere because the emotional drain is debilitating and sucks the life out of me.

Way too many ads. TH-cam is out of control when it comes to ads.

This is crap. It's well known that emotional and psychological neglect is trauma. It's also known that how a child reacts and internalizes events is what creates trauma, not necessarily the event. Stopped listening 9 minutes in. She needs to converse with Dr. Gabor Mate.

Well - being autistic is nothing else that having your senses too open all the time. If you are familiar with the book Autism on Acid, Psychedelics help autistics to navigate the world better, by feeling less stressed when being so sensitive Neuronormative people primarily learn by imitation, adopting the metaphors of the dominant culture, and only much less frequently do they invent entirely new metaphors based on patterns of first hand non-linguistic sensory input. In contrast, Autistic people learn more from conscious processing of raw sensory information, creating a space for imagining new possibilities. To expand our horizons of symbolic thought, we are well advised to look at other cultures and at Autistic or otherwise socially “less well adjusted” people. Once we understand the foundational role of metaphors in human thought, we can understand how propaganda works, and beyond that, how hypernormative cultures / cults are able to generate a level of paradigmatic inertia from which it is very hard to break free, especially for “well adjusted” people. Holotropism - It concerns the brain, and neglects the heart. It doesn’t recognize that the mind is not separable from the body. Monotropism can only be a local and temporary salve. Neurology is often a trap that reifies a misleading narrative that our brains determine “who we are”, and this is reified by the compound word “neurodiversity”. We prefer the term neurosomatic diversity. That said, the holotropic mind tends to expect one thing to follow from another, like a fractal. This rests on a somatic understanding that consciousness is cellular. Polytropic people have more compartmentalised experiences and take part in activities that “add up” to a sense of wholeness. It is very helpful to remember this when we are faced with a double empathy problem. Anecdotally, polytropic people seem to get a good taste of the holotropic experience of openness with extensive meditation practice or a below-hallucination dose of LSD, psilocybin, etc., and then seem to be able to better appreciate our radically different way of being. Holotropic people have naturally wide open sensory gates. To participate in/as the immense world without becoming overwhelmed, we holotropes have two central methods: by hyperfocusing our attention on one sensory or cognitive path, and as, through synthesising our experience into coherence. A sense of wholeness occurs through both of these processes - less consciously in hyperfocus, more consciously in coherence. While it has been given little consideration in autism studies, embodied coherence is arguably our true gift, that we can both receive and give. When we are able to abide in receptive open awareness, we find we are wholeness itself. neuroclastic.com/life-is-at-bottom-diversity/

"All Westerners are eager to practice crazy wisdom, the problem is that they have the crazy part down but lack wisdom" - Pema Chodron These romantic myths of crazy "wisdom" are often just excuses for juvenile and poor behavior. Its also cool and trendy in the west.. Think of a juvenile narcissist like Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche who drank himself to death, spiritually and sexually preyed on his naïve and insecure students and even raped a handful of women - he's considered a crazy wisdom teacher but it really is just the horsesh!t and nonsense that arrogant, narcissistic and self-righteous cult zealots want in their "spiritual" journey. And if you go out to Boulder, CO where the Chogyam cult zealots congregate you find the crazy wisdom students of Chogyam Trungpa Ripoche creating a culture of predation, abuse, harm and dharma fascism - you find a city and "spiritual" culture filled with "Buddhist horror stories" as a psychiatrist who has worked there for 40 years has told me. I consider Boulder, CO the armpit of the American spiritual rat race based on my personal experience. I had to get the police involved to get Tim Olmsted, President of the Pema Chodron Foundation, out of my life.

I just wanted to share that during the grounding meditation it became apparent how much of my life I’ve spent with my body braced against the ground instead of trusting and relaxing into being in contact with the ground. It all seemed so clear in that moment that in order to experience more ease and safety I would need to allow my muscles and nervous system to try releasing the holding pattern it has developed against such a fundamental part of being alive here on Earth. Hope that’s meaningful or insightful or connecting for someone out there.

I didn’t find any practical things

Thank you for this informative interview. Willa is my favorite teacher.

This lack of body/mind separation has been my experience of late. My mind state basically tracks how my body feels. My best "results" when meditating come from moving to a focus on the body.

I just love her voice! Thanks for the interview!!!

Dr. Isis, it is an honor to have participated in your Mindfulness Self-Compassion class offered by Mindful Kids Miami. You celebrate the human spirit and embody the very essence of what you teach. Thank you for being a compassionate, inspiring, and gifted teacher.

Lovely miss..🙏👍

Thank you for your help in this wonderful episode. I need you both on my life right now x

Psychology has brought the Mental Heath practices miles and miles from when I first began exploring my issues, in 1970. Finally, successful treatment can now be accessed. Now, we need to get more people involved in treatment.

Very informative
