    After the School Shooting in Canada: A Moral Reckoning

    In the wake of the school shooting in Canada that took the lives of fifteen children, Ana offers a moral reflection on grief, anger, leadership, and collective responsibility. This is not news commentary. It is a call to conscience. Ana speaks directly to the societal questions emerging after the Canada school shooting: What happens when children are no longer safe in schools? What does moral leadership look like when institutions fail? Why do some people say, “It didn’t happen here,” and how does that trauma response reduce proximity of threat and normalize what should never be normalized? In this episode, Ana addresses: • collective grief after a school shooting • trauma responses and societal numbness • leadership failure and civic responsibility • the normalization of violence • why children’s safety is a human rights issue • how adults can respond without collapsing into despair Ana also offers a closing prayer for the children, families, and communities affected — a grounding moment for those carrying grief, anger, and moral shock. If you are feeling devastated, angry, morally unsettled, or disoriented after the school shooting in Canada, this episode offers clarity, conscience, and a space to grieve without becoming numb. This is about grief without collapse. Anger without chaos. And refusing to normalize violence. Ana also offers a closing prayer for the children, families, and communities affected — a grounding, somatic moment for those carrying grief, anger, and moral shock. This prayer is an invitation to hold sorrow without collapsing, to stay human in the face of violence, and to refuse normalization. ------------------- ❤️  Please donate  This podcast is independently run.

  2. Yielding Trauma: The Hidden Cost of Making Yourself Smaller to Survive

    4D AGO

    Yielding Trauma: The Hidden Cost of Making Yourself Smaller to Survive

    Some trauma doesn’t scream. It steps aside. It apologizes. It yields before anyone asks. It is invisible survival pattern where you give away space, voice, and presence just to stay safe. Once you see it, you’ll recognize it everywhere.  This is the trauma of women, refugees, racialized bodies, exiled and anyone taught that survival depends on becoming smaller. In this episode, Ana Mael introduces Yielding Trauma, a term she coined to describe a rarely named trauma pattern that lives in the body after exile, displacement, chronic danger, and long-term survival under threat. Yielding trauma is what happens when survival teaches a person to make themselves smaller before anyone asks—to yield space, time, voice, and presence as a way to stay safe. It shows up in how we walk, how we wait in lines, how we drive, how we over-serve, and how we apologize for existing. Often misread as politeness, humility, or passivity, yielding trauma is an embodied survival strategy rooted in war, forced migration, systemic oppression, gendered socialization, racism, disability, and chronic marginalization. Through lived war experience, clinical insight, and somatic observation, Ana explores how yielding trauma forms, how it shapes posture, gait, nervous system responses, and misplaced rage, and why moments like road rage or being cut off in line can activate disproportionate reactions. These moments are not about the present incident—they are echoes of years spent yielding to survive. This episode speaks directly to refugees, immigrants, women, BIPOC individuals, disabled bodies, survivors of abuse, and anyone who has learned to move through the world at an angle. It also offers therapists, clinicians, and educators a new framework for understanding behaviors often misunderstood in trauma recovery. Yielding Trauma names what has long been felt but rarely spoken: the cost of survival when belonging was not guaranteed—and the slow, intentional work of reclaiming space, dignity, and presence.

    From Denounced To Defiant: How Tyranny Silences YOUR Truth and Tools For Resistance

    Have you been punished for speaking the truth, labeled dangerous for naming harm, or feels the pull toward silence and disengagement in the face of global instability this episode is for you. What does it mean to move from denounced to defiant in a world sliding toward authoritarianism? Defiance doesn’t begin with shouting—it begins when the body stops obeying fear. In this episode, Ana Mael explores how moving from denounced to defiant disrupts tyranny at its psychological core and why embodied resistance is one of the most powerful threats to tyranny on a global scale. Building on the experience of denouncement, exile, and silencing, Ana examines how authoritarian systems rely on internalized fear, dissociation, and self-doubt to maintain control. This episode traces how reclaiming bodily presence, moral authority, and self-trust interrupts the psychological foundations of tyranny—long before it becomes visible through laws, violence, or repression. Through a trauma-informed and justice-oriented lens, Ana reframes defiance not as aggression or rebellion, but as the refusal to go numb. She shows how individual nervous system regulation, collective witnessing, and embodied truth-telling undermine authoritarian power worldwide, from family systems to nation-states. This episode is for anyone who has been punished for speaking the truth, labeled dangerous for naming harm, or feels the pull toward silence and disengagement in the face of global instability. It offers language, grounding, and clarity for staying human—and defiant—without burning out or bypassing fear.

  4. War Testimony: Un-belonging — Exiled in 10 Minutes

    JAN 25

    War Testimony: Un-belonging — Exiled in 10 Minutes

    Ana is delivering a war testimony of exile that reframes belonging as a bodily, ancestral, and political condition—not a social one. This is not a story about moving countries. It is a story about what happens to identity, nervous system, dignity, and spatial entitlement when belonging is violently withdrawn. She is naming something rarely articulated with this precision: Unbelonging is not absence. It is an active state imposed on the body. This piece exposes unbelonging as: a somatic condition a psychological adaptation a moral injury a political outcome an intergenerational wound Ana is not asking for empathy. She is documenting a structure of experience. 2. The Most Impactful Contribution of the Piece The concept of “Yielding Trauma” ( will be published next week! ) This is the most original and devastating contribution in the work. “Yielding trauma is when you give away space before anyone asks.” Ana identifies a trauma pattern that: is not commonly named in trauma literature is instantly recognizable to displaced people explains behaviors often misread as passivity, politeness, or humility She shows that exile does not only take home— it takes the right to occupy space without apology. Yielding trauma explains: why refugees shrink why survivors over-serve why exiled bodies move diagonally through life why shame precedes interaction why belonging feels “earned” rather than innate This concept alone is field-shaping. 3. What Makes This a True War Story (Not Just a Memoir) Ana refuses abstraction. She anchors the war in: the parking lot the bomb shelter the bakery the coffee shop the elevator the pavement This is crucial. War here is not described as ideology or politics. It is described as how a neck stiffens, where a body sits, how eyes stop lifting, how a voice repeats itself. The line that makes this unmistakably a war story: “I became exiled into homelessness in ten minutes.” Time collapses. Civilization collapses. Identity collapses. This is how war actually happens. 4. Key Teachings Embedded in the Narrative Ana teaches without instructing. Teaching 1: Belonging is a nervous system state Not a belief. Not a passport. Not social acceptance. When she writes: “My nervous system could not settle into it.” She teaches that belonging cannot be cognitively convinced—it must be somatically re-learned. Teaching 2: Shame is spatial This is rare and profound. Shame is shown not as an emotion, but as movement choreography: corner tables angled walking lowered gaze reduced sound bodily minimization Ana reveals shame as a map of avoidance written into the body. Teaching 3: Exile internalizes unworthiness Not metaphorically—literally. “This is how exile shapes you: not only through loss, but through the internalization of unworthiness.” She makes clear that exile succeeds when the person begins to poli...

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    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.

    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
