    What if anxiety isn’t a symptom - but the original wound?

    Send us a text In this solo episode, we look at anxiety through the lens of primary pain: for some people, terror wasn’t a reaction to an event, it was the event.  Drawing on clinical work and lived experience, we unpack how nervous systems organise whole lives to avoid re‑experiencing what once felt unsurvivable, how those protective “products” create secondary pain (anxiety, depression, codependency), and why regulation alone is necessary but not sufficient.  We talk safety signaling, preparation before any deep work, and how to meet terror with reverence, pacing, and care, especially in developmental and complex trauma. If you’ve ever felt a “fear of the fear,” or you work with clients who do, this conversation is for you.  And if you want to join the 3‑day deeper dive into this topic, here's the link to register your place: https://www.events.incorrmethod.com/ll-summit-reg-nov25/

    Beyond spiritual bypassing: Integrating Spirituality and the Body for the best healing results

    Send us a text 🎙️ Podcast Title Beyond spiritual bypassing:  Integrating Spirituality and the Body for best healing results  How One Therapist Moved From Non-Duality to Embodied Wholeness 🌟 Podcast Description What happens when spiritual realization meets unresolved pain in the body? In this powerful and vulnerable episode, we explore the vital connection between spiritual practices and body-centered healing.  Shauna welcomes Ali, a seasoned therapist and coach with 20+ years of diverse experience, to unpack the limitations of purely spiritual approaches like non-duality when it comes to real, human suffering—and the transformational power of returning to the body. Whether you’re on a spiritual path that’s left your body behind, or a healing journey that’s seeking deeper soul integration, this episode is your reminder: Healing and wholeness lives in the union of both. 👤 Meet Our Guest: Ali Ali is a holistic therapist, cognitive hypnotherapist, breathwork facilitator, and meditation practitioner with over two decades of experience. Having trained in the Three Principles, non-duality and somatic practices, she brings a rare integration of mind, body, and spirit. Her own healing journey through anxiety, disconnection, and spiritual bypassing led her to the profound work of inner child reconnection and the embodied wisdom of the “incorr” method. 🧩 In This Episode, We Explore: Ali’s personal and professional journey from nutritional medicine to deep spiritual and body-based work The promises and blind spots of non-dual spiritual teachings Why body-based healing is essential, especially for those with trauma, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm How the body holds memory and why reconnection can be painful but necessary The importance of integrating spiritual insight with embodied presence The practitioner's role in meeting clients with nuance, safety, and individualized support How reconnecting with the body leads not away from spirituality, but deeper into it 💡 Reflection Questions for Listeners: Have I used spiritual practices to avoid feeling discomfort or pain in my body? What might shift if I brought loving attention to my body’s unmet needs? How do I know when I’m bypassing—and what helps me return?  🧘🏽‍♀️ Final Word There is no need to choose between your spirit and your body. In fact, your deepest healing may come when the two are in loving dialogue. Listen in and be reminded: your essence lives not above the body, but through it. 🔗 Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Introduction to the Three Principles Understanding Non-Duality (Article)You Can contact Alli here :  https://www.facebook.com/AliScottCoaching  www.aliscottcoaching.com

    Understanding Emotional Shutdown in Trauma Therapy - Part 1

    Send us a text Are you a Therapist, Counsellor or Coach?  Are you passionate about helping your client find and heal the root cause of their suffering but find that they frequently get stuck in the therapeutic process ? Does any of the following sound familiar ? Clients who have an inability to discuss or bring awareness of difficult emotionsClients who are stuck in story, often blaming othersClients who have an inability to access their emotional content due to the fear of nervous system activation, resulting in you fearing to re-traumatise your clientAn inability for your client to identify the source of their suffering, therefore feeling hopeless and leading to comorbidity. Clients who become stuck and fail to fully commit to the therapeutic process with frequent DNA’sAs therapists, we know the answer is to find the source of their suffering and that source is deep in the unexplored depths of past experiences. These unique experiences are locked into the body and mind. The reality though, for most of our clients, is that being invited to the source of that pain is terrifying. For them, those depths are simply not a safe place to be and, as a result, the wonderful, benevolent tool - the mind, says ” No, we will NOT go there! “ When this happens, your client becomes stuck and therefore blocked from further therapeutic processing.  Facilitating our clients to safely & without re-traumatising, find the source of their suffering is vital to successfully complete their therapeutic process. We need a scaffolding process that safely facilitates the clients access and exploration of their wounded self. In this episode, we'll be focusing on moving beyond the narratives and getting deeper into the embodied emotional experiences for your clients. You'll learn the four components of emotional shutdown and the roadmap for understanding why it is so difficult for our clients to move beyond 'story'.

    How We Manage Our Trauma & Childhood Wounding with Armandee Drew

    Send us a text When we think of experienced trauma, we often associate it with extreme difficulty, very limited life experiences, a breakdown even, but what about when trauma is insidious & low lying. When it doesn’t have the big stories of breakdown attached. Instead it’s pushed away and managed day to day, you tell yourself it’s not important, it could be worse but still, it pops up in everyday life. What then?    My guest today is Armandee Drew and this was her experience of trauma until one day… Armandee is an executive trauma informed leadership coach. She & I have been working together now for a few years both personally & professionally and I’m delighted that we are able to bring this discussion to you.    I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.  With Love, Shauna X To watch the video recording of the episode follow this link: https://youtu.be/woy332kb6Rc If you would like to connect with Armandee or want more information on her work or the upcoming retreat in Atlanta, follow this link: https://www.armandeedrew.com/

A qualified child & adolescent psychotherapist, humanistic integrative counsellor and a play therapist, Siobhan is known as ‘The Creative Psychotherapist’.

    Jason Shiers: Hope Beyond the System's Diagnosis & What We Are Told

    Send us a text In today’s episode I’m joined by psychotherapist, Jason Shiers. From the age of 10 years old, Jason had 15 different diagnoses in the mental health system and was told by professionals that he had depression. They even questioned if he was ever going to get better. But he knew that these ‘diagnosis’ were only a description of his symptoms. He also knew that the current systems were not set up to help him find the cause.  “I could sit in the dark, it was comfortable there but no one knew where the light switch was. No one ever pointed me within or what that meant. I didn’t know that joy existed”  Today Jason is the founder of ‘Wide World Coaching’, creator of the ‘Infite Recovery Project’ and host of ‘Misunderstandings of the Mind’ podcast. So, I think you’ll agree this is an amazing story of transformation.  At the very end of our conversation, I asked Jason “if you had of heard our conversation today, all them years ago when you were in that darkness what would you have thought?” He said this: “I would like to think that I would have sensed that there was something different from what I know in the suffering. A different place to look, a different way to see things. Hope…”  I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.  With Love, Shauna X If you would like to connect with Jason or want more information on his work, follow the links below https://www.infiniterecoveryproject.com/ https://www.wideworldcoaching.com/ https://www.misunderstandingsofthemind.com/

    Blocks to Healing - Pt.3 Hierarchy of Pain

    Send us a text I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey. In the last 2 episodes we’ve talked about primary & secondary pain. Today, to finish off the series we’re going to look at ‘the hierarchy of pain’  All three of these are interlinked and are a particular phenomenon during the healing journey but where we begin today in this discussion is the dissolving of the secondary pain.  I’m going to read for you part of the 7th chapter of the book and while you are listening or watching on youtube, again my intention is for you to think about your own inner world - Can you see your own hierarchy of pain?  I’ve also linked below to the complete chapter of the book. When you have listened to this episode I suggest reading that chapter and working through the short exercises that are included. This will help you immensely on your healing journey.  With Love, Shauna X Follow this link to view Chapter 7 of my upcoming book  https://docs.google.com/document/d/148HhcxuDaa90kUJbobD71hdg09bXdb2NPhSNY_jWQSQ/edit?usp=sharing
