  1. Collective Rage: The Body’s Refusal to Submit

    Collective Rage: The Body’s Refusal to Submit

    Collective rage is not chaos. It is not pathology. It is not the problem. In this episode of Exiled and Rising, Ana Mael explores collective rage as a natural, embodied response to injustice, moral injury, and tyranny. Drawing from somatic trauma work, ancestral memory, and political psychology, Ana reframes rage as a sign of moral health—not something to suppress, spiritualize, or neutralize. As authoritarian dynamics expand globally, many people feel pressure to disengage, numb out, or mistake neutrality for safety. Ana explains why collective rage arises when dignity is violated, rights are stripped, and harm is normalized—and why attempts to silence or criminalize that rage are central tools of authoritarian control. This episode examines how the nervous system responds to injustice, why distraction and spiritual bypassing fail to extinguish moral knowing, and how collective rage has fueled every major movement for justice throughout history. Ana also names the real danger of our time: not too much anger, but collective numbness. This conversation is for anyone feeling anger they were taught to distrust, for those struggling to stay present in the face of global instability, and for anyone seeking a trauma-informed understanding of resistance that does not collapse into violence or apathy.

  2. Denouncement: How Tyranny Silences YOUR Truth Before It Takes Power, Part 1

    JAN 11

    Denouncement: How Tyranny Silences YOUR Truth Before It Takes Power, Part 1

    Tyranny does not begin with tanks or laws. It begins with denouncement— it is a political weapon. In this episode of Exiled and Rising, Ana Mael examines how patriarchy and tyranny use denouncement to silence truth, exile dissenters, and maintain control. Drawing from somatic trauma therapy, political psychology, and global protest movements in the United States and Iran, Ana explores how survivors, whistleblowers, women, and marginalized voices are cast out not for causing harm, but for naming it. This episode connects personal exile to systemic oppression, showing how family silencing, spiritual bypassing, and emotional shaming prepare people for authoritarian compliance on a national scale. Ana breaks down how denouncement impacts the nervous system, why speaking truth feels dangerous in the body, and why healing from exile is not only personal — but political, ancestral, and revolutionary. If you have ever been labeled “too much,” punished for setting boundaries, shunned for telling the truth, or felt the somatic aftermath of being cast out, this episode offers language, validation, and a path back to embodied integrity. Topics include: trauma and patriarchy, authoritarianism, protest and resistance, somatic healing, political trauma, internalized exile, spiritual abuse, and reclaiming voice after silencing. What we are witnessing globally is not only a rise in authoritarian governments, but a normalization of the psychological conditions that make tyranny possible. Denouncement is one of its most efficient tools. Here’s why this is urgent today: 1. Tyranny Thrives on Silenced Nervous Systems Authoritarian power depends on people who no longer trust their own perception. When individuals are repeatedly punished for naming harm—at home, in institutions, in communities—they learn a somatic lesson: Truth is dangerous. Belonging requires silence. By the time tyranny shows up at a national level, the body has already been trained to comply. Fear, freeze, fawn, and dissociation become survival strategies. A population in this state is easier to control than one that is regulated, connected, and embodied. Denouncement conditions the nervous system to choose safety over truth. 2. The Personal Is the Political Training Ground Tyranny does not invent new tactics. It scales familiar ones. Families that scapegoat truth-tellers Spiritual communities that exile dissenters Workplaces that punish whistleblowers Cultures that label protest as “divisive” These are micro-rehearsals for authoritarianism. When people are taught early that naming abuse makes them the problem, they are more likely to accept state narratives that criminalize protest, suppress journalists, or frame resistance as chaos. This is how private trauma becomes public compliance. 3. Denouncement Replaces Debate In healthy societies, power is challenged through dialogue. In tyrannical ones, power avoids conversation and moves directly to discrediting. We see this everywhere today: Protesters framed as threats rather than citizens Women labeled hysterical, radical, or dangerous for bodily autonomy Activists called destabilizing instead of ethical Truth-tellers accused of spreading disorder Denouncement short-circuits thinking. It removes nuance. It creates fear of association. Once denouncement becomes normal, people self-censor. Tyranny no longer needs to silence everyone—people silence themselves. 4. Trauma Makes Authoritarianism Feel “Safer” This is the part many miss. For...

  3. The WASTELAND Of Your Life Now: When Your Life Collapses and Your Body Can’t Rise

    JAN 4

    The WASTELAND Of Your Life Now: When Your Life Collapses and Your Body Can’t Rise

    Wasteland speaks to the seasons of life when everything falls apart.In this episode of Exiled & Rising, somatic therapist Ana Mael reads her new poem “Wasteland,” a raw and powerful exploration of collapse, service burnout, and the sacred liminal space between breaking down and rising again. Wasteland speaks to the seasons of life when everything falls apart: when we are exhausted from serving others, when our nervous system can no longer perform strength, and when the body pulls us into the in-between — not drowning anymore, but not yet able to rise. Ana reflects on: Somatic collapse and how the body enters freeze, exhaustion, and resignation The wasteland as an inner landscape of burnout, heartbreak, and depletion How trauma and over-functioning create spiritual and emotional exile The role of mud as metaphor for the freeze state, collapse, and nervous system protection Why the in-between is a sacred threshold in trauma recovery How grief, rest, and slowing down create the conditions for rebirth Feminine exhaustion caused by caretaking, endurance, emotional labor, and patriarchal conditioning Returning to the self after years of serving, bending, complying, and disappearing Ana invites listeners into a new understanding of trauma healing: that collapse is not a failure, rest is not resignation, and the in-between is not a void — it is gestation, the place where the nervous system prepares for emergence. If you are in a season of exhaustion, stuckness, or resignation… If you feel like you are hip-deep in the mud of your own life… If you are mourning the years you spent rising for others and resigning yourself… This episode is for you. You do not have to rush your rebirth. You are allowed to rest beside the mud. You are allowed to mourn the wasteland of your life.

  4. Decolonizing Prayer: What It Means in Healing Faith, Body, and Belonging

    12/28/2025

    Decolonizing Prayer: What It Means in Healing Faith, Body, and Belonging

    The Body Is Where God Speaks. In this episode of Exiled & Rising, Ana Mael — somatic experiencing therapist for trauma recovery and ancestral healing — explores what it truly means to decolonize prayer. For centuries, prayer was shaped by systems of domination — religions that demanded obedience, erased Indigenous and ancestral practices, and taught that the Divine could only be reached through worthiness or submission. To decolonize prayer is to reclaim it: to bring the sacred back into the body, the land, and the breath. Ana guides listeners through a gentle reflection on how prayer can become an act of embodied liberation rather than control. She explores how trauma, faith, and colonial conditioning often intertwine — and how we can begin to pray not from fear, but from belonging. In this episode, you’ll discover how to: Reclaim prayer as a living, breathing dialogue with the Divine. Restore your relationship with your body, ancestors, and earth as sacred sources of guidance. Recognize and release the inherited beliefs that say you must be “pure” or “worthy” to be loved. Learn how somatic healing and spirituality can merge into a prayer practice rooted in justice, tenderness, and autonomy. Ana teaches that to decolonize prayer is to return to intimacy with life itself — to remember that divinity was never outside of you. It’s within your heartbeat, your lineage, your breath. “The body is not an obstacle to God — it is where God speaks.”       Chapters (00:00:01) - What Decolonizing Prayer Means(00:13:28) - Decolonizing Prayer for the Soul

  5. Prayer for the Dark Night of the Soul: Somatic Healing Through Divine Presence

    12/21/2025

    Prayer for the Dark Night of the Soul: Somatic Healing Through Divine Presence

    De-theologizing shame by making God intimate and embodied. This prayer is a profound embodiment of Ana’s entire body of work — it’s not simply spiritual language; it’s somatic invocation.  1. Reuniting the Spiritual and the Somatic Ana is weaving together the language of prayer with the language of the body. When she says: “Move through me, speak through me, walk through me, heal through me,” she’s not appealing to an abstract deity. She’s inviting the sacred to inhabit the body — to let divine presence become movement, breath, and nervous system regulation. This is somatic theology — healing not through escape from the body, but through returning to it as a vessel for grace.  2. Restoring Relational Safety Her repeated invocations — “Let me lean on you… Let me be held by you… supported by you…” — are re-parenting moments. In trauma, safety is broken; the body learns it must hold itself alone. Through prayer, Ana restores the felt sense of being held, not only psychologically but spiritually. She is offering a reparative experience — one in which Divine Spirit becomes a co-regulator.  3. Transforming Helplessness into Communion Instead of fighting darkness, Ana models surrender as sacred collaboration. Each line — “rest in me… live in my bones… dance in my heart…” — turns despair into dialogue. She’s teaching that you don’t heal by forcing light but by allowing what is divine, ancestral, and alive to move through you even when you feel broken. This is how trauma becomes transmuted into devotion — not bypassed, but inhabited with grace.  4. Reclaiming the Ancestral Body By naming Beloved Ancestors, she opens intergenerational space: Healing isn’t solitary; it’s ancestral repair. She invites listeners to feel lineage behind them — support that trauma often erases. In Ana’s language, ancestors aren’t abstract; they are part of the nervous system memory — the strength behind your spine, “standing behind my back when I falter.”  5. Reframing Prayer as Somatic Regulation The repetition — move through me, walk through me, rest in me — mirrors the natural rhythm of the body’s regulation cycle: expansion, contraction, rest. Listeners experience calm not through religious belief, but through entrainment — the nervous system settles into the rhythm of Ana’s voice. She’s teaching that prayer can be a nervous system practice, not just a spiritual one. 6. Her Deeper Offering In essence, Ana is: De-theologizing shame by making God intimate and embodied. Decolonizing prayer by rooting it in the self and the an... Chapters (00:00:01) - Living With My Beloved Ancestors

  6. Why Withdrawal Is Necessary for Regulation : Winter Solstice Teachings

    Why Withdrawal Is Necessary for Regulation : Winter Solstice Teachings

    In this episode of Exiled & Rising, Ana offers a Winter Solstice teaching on withdrawal — not as avoidance, pathology, or failure, but as a biological and nervous-system necessity. For most of human history, withdrawal was respected. People retreated in winter, in grief, in illness, and in times of transition. Reduced contact, reduced visibility, and solitude were understood as forms of regulation and protection. In modern culture, withdrawal is often misunderstood and condemned. It is labeled depression, disengagement, lack of resilience, or a personal problem to be fixed. This episode challenges that narrative. ------------------------------------- ANA TEACHINGS & PROGRAMS https://exiledandrising.mykajabi.com/store   RESIGNATION SYNDROME RECOVERY https://exiledandrising.mykajabi.com/offers/SSApP35o/checkout Get the Book: The Trauma We Don't Talk About https://amzn.to/41SjKKL ❤️  Please donate  This podcast is independently run.

It is not an episode about self-improvement or resilience. It is an orientation toward rest, regulation, and permission. Winter Solstice reminds us that nothing essential grows in exposure. Growth begins in darkness, quiet, and reduced demand — long before it reaches the light. This episode invites listeners to: Reduce contact Simplify language Let plans go quiet Stop trying to be understood Stay close to what regulates the body and nervous system The light will return on its own. Withdrawal is not something to overcome — it is something to respect.

    SEASON 2, EPISODE 32 TRAILER

    From Witch to Bitch: Breaking the Spell of Shrinking for Men

    She Stopped Shrinking. They Called Her a Bitch. Ana Mael explores how patriarchal conditioning has shaped generations of women to silence their power, shrink their brilliance, and confuse survival with love. In this episode, somatic therapist and writer Ana Mael traces the evolution of feminine suppression—from the witch hunts that burned women for their wisdom, to the modern emotional burn of being called too much, too emotional, or a bitch.     -------------------------------------- ANA TEACHINGS & PROGRAMS https://exiledandrising.mykajabi.com/store Get the Book: The Trauma We Don't Talk About https://amzn.to/41SjKKL   ❤️  Please donate  This podcast is independently run.

Only a somatic therapy education, truth & storytelling.   https://donate.stripe.com/3cI9AS5Xfb9W6O832VfEk00     _________________________________   Ana unpacks the psychological, somatic, and relational impact of patriarchal dominance—how men are taught to equate worth with control, and how women internalize safety through self-erasure. Through raw storytelling and embodied teaching, she reveals what happens in the male psyche when faced with female expression, and what shrinking does to a woman’s nervous system, identity, and development. This is a call to remember the ancestral power of the Witch, to break the inherited obedience of the Shrunk Woman, and to reclaim the unapologetic voice once branded as the Bitch. If you’ve ever softened your truth to protect someone else’s ego, this episode will remind you that your expansion is not a threat—it’s a medicine.   The Core Paradox: She’s called a “bitch” not because she’s shrinking — but because she stopped shrinking. Patriarchy teaches women that their safety, love, and social acceptance depend on self-minimization: Be agreeable, not assertive. Be supportive, not ambitious. Be emotional, but never angry. Be strong, but never stronger than him. When a woman starts breaking those rules — speaking directly, naming the truth, setting boundaries, or owning her intelligence — she violates her conditioning. And patriarchy, unable to control her anymore, shifts from reward to punishment. So the word “bitch” becomes a disciplinary label — a form of social policing. It’s how society punishes women who expand beyond their prescribed size.  Symbolically: The Witch → a woman whose power was seen as dangerous and supernatural; she was destroyed for it. The Shrunk Woman → a woman who learned to stay small to survive; she internalized the fear. The “Bitch” → a woman who refuses to shrink anymore; she survives the system but gets punished verbally instead of physically. So the evolution goes like this: Witch — punished by fire. Shrunk — punished by silence. ️ “Bitch” — punished by language. Each phase represents a different survival strategy within...

    Reclaim the Right to Accountability, Not Resilience: Path To True Trauma Healing

    What does that mean? Resilience says: you got through it, amazing, keep going. Accountability says: you shouldn’t have had to “get through it” like that in the first place. Resilience puts the work on the survivor. Accountability puts the work on the relationship / family / community / system. So when people call you strong and stop there, they are choosing resilience over accountability. They’re saying, “Your capacity is the solution,” instead of, “Our repair is the solution.” IT MEANS: Please keep performing resilience so I can keep avoiding accountability.   That’s why Ana keeps saying: “You don’t have to heal alone.” Because being the strong one is healing alone. It’s the glorified version of healing alone. ______________________________________   ANA TEACHINGS & PROGRAMS https://exiledandrising.mykajabi.com/store   Get the Book: The Trauma We Don't Talk About https://amzn.to/41SjKKL   ❤️  Please donate  This podcast is independently run.

Accountability has been ignored. Resilience says: You got through it. Amazing. Accountability says: You shouldn’t have had to get through it like that at all. When people call you strong but never ask who failed you, they’re choosing resilience over repair. They’re saying, “Your capacity is the solution,” instead of, “Our care is the solution.” Ana Mael doesn’t just talk about trauma as psychology, but as an issue of ethics, human rights, and collective dignity. She talks about moral values, personal and collective rights, and why accountability is essential for healing and human dignity. This episode continues Ana Mael’s exploration from Strength Is Not Consent. If that first conversation exposed how the “strong one” label hides collective avoidance, this one asks the harder question: What do we owe one another after harm has occurred? And what does accountability look like — not as punishment, but as restoration of dignity and truth?   In this follow-up to Strength Is Not Consent, Ana Mael expands her critique of resilience culture by introducing a radical concept: healing as a moral and human rights issue. Speaking as a Somatic Experiencing Therapist, war survivor, and moral thinker, Ana argues that resilience without accountability perpetuates injustice — both personally and collectively. She examines how Western therapy often privatizes pain, turning survival into an individual performance, while ignoring the political, cultural, and ethical systems that caused it. Through body-based reflection and social commentary, she explores how true healing requires moral recognition, repair, and the restoration of dignity. This episode bridges psychology, philosophy, and human rights — asking listeners to rethink what justice means in the aftermath of harm. “Resilience is surviva...
