    Ross Gay | The Poetry of Joy and Connection

    This week, Thomas sits down with acclaimed poet and author Ross Gay for a conversation on the intrinsic link between joy and sorrow, and the importance of finding delight in a world where doing so feels increasingly difficult. Ross’ work is focused on finding joy through human connection, from kinship and ancestry to the profound and powerful connection we feel when we help each other carry our sorrows. In this way, sorrow serves as an unexpected source of delight, a fundamental element of life that illuminates the precarity of joy, and thus its potency. Ross was also kind enough to share readings of some of his delightful poetry. ✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/qI0gXJRzqw8 Video episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET ✨ Order Thomas and Internal Family Systems founder Dr. Schwartz's new co-authored book, Releasing Our Burdens, here: 👉 https://www.releasingourburdens.com ✨ Sign up for updates by visiting our website: 👉 https://pointofrelationpodcast.com ✨ Ross Gay is the author of four books of poetry: Against Which; Bringing the Shovel Down; Be Holding, winner of the PEN American Literary Jean Stein Award; and Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, winner of the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award.

    Dr. Richard Schwartz | Healing Collective Ancestral Burdens

    This week, Thomas sits down with Dr. Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems, for an in-depth discussion on the power of healing in groups, intergenerational and ancestral trauma healing, and the relationship between therapy and spirituality—all topics that are featured in their forthcoming book; Releasing Our Burdens: A Guide to Healing Individual, Ancestral, and Collective Trauma. Thomas and Dr. Schwartz dive deep into the phenomena of ancestral and collective "legacy burdens", which are traumas from our shared past that unconsciously drive our current behavior and societal conflicts. They share therapeutic and spiritual strategies for addressing these inherited wounds, and discuss the urgent need for what Thomas calls a “collective healing architecture” to mend social fragmentation and revitalize our democratic systems. They also share insights on the importance of our interconnection with the natural world and the need for safe spaces to access “Self Energy,” where the profound impacts of individual parts work can amplify collective healing. ✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/NnAcV8Y_fqg Video episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET ✨ Pre-order Thomas and Dr. Schwartz's co-authored book, Releasing Our Burdens, here: 👉 https://www.releasingourburdens.com ...and join Thomas, Dr. Schwartz, and Sounds True founder Tami Simon on December 2 for a free LIVE event to celebrate their book's publication - From Burden to Belonging: Healing Trauma Across Generations We'll explore how we can release our burdens, become more resilient, and help create a more flourishing world.

    Jack Kornfield | Finding Your Self on the Spiritual Path

    This week, Thomas sits down with writer, trained Buddhist monk, and meditation teacher, Jack Kornfield, for a conversation about the twists and turns on the spiritual path and the quest for a defined identity. Drawing on hard-won expertise, they dissect spiritual bypassing, embrace the necessity of disillusionment, and share rituals and practices to help you reclaim the sacred. Both teachers have extensive experience with trauma, pioneering our understanding of how trauma healing and spiritual practice intersect. Jack argues that in fact, we cannot seek enlightenment without confronting our personal wounds, understanding the difference between trauma and suffering, and acknowledging our interconnection. He and Thomas explore the need for communal spiritual practices, the wisdom inherent in ancient traditions, and the importance of remembering that our essential nature is love itself. ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/4Fjz7WaTyX4 Video episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET Join Thomas this fall for ✨ The Path of the Courageous Soul ✨ A 5-month journey to transform trauma into wisdom, fulfill your purpose, and navigate uncertain times for personal and collective evolution.
