This is a space for deep conversations, sacred rage, healing revelations, and the unraveling of all the boxes we were told to live in.

    S1E9: The Somatic Experience: Listening to the Wisdom of the Body | Featuring Brooke Johnson, LMT

    Today's episode marks a special milestone—my very first guest on The LCMHC Mystic Musings. I sit down with Brooke Johnson, Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, and Somatic Experiencing® trainee, to explore the incredible wisdom of the body and the role our nervous system plays in healing trauma. Together, we discuss Somatic Experiencing®, body awareness, nervous system regulation, embodiment, and why healing often happens through more than insight alone. Whether you're a clinician, bodyworker, or simply someone curious about healing through a mind-body approach, this conversation offers a beautiful introduction to one of the most fascinating trauma-informed modalities available today.

    S1:E8: "It's Fine", and Other Lies we Tell Ourselves

    Minimizing isn’t just something we do— it’s something we’ve learned. In this episode, Christine explores how minimizing forms across generations, how it shows up through comparison and self-invalidation, and why it often begins as a survival response. Through the lens of the Atrium Somatic Resonance Method (ASRM), she introduces the idea that even when we make experiences feel small, their energetic imprint remains—held within the body and nervous system. This episode invites you to shift from: “Was it bad enough?” to: “How did it affect me?” A grounded, somatic, and psychospiritual exploration of what it means to truly acknowledge your experience—and begin transforming it. ✨ You are everything and nothing less.

    S1:E7: When the Mind Protects: A Trauma-Informed Conversation About DID

    Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized trauma-related diagnoses in mental health. In this episode of The LCMHC Mystic Musings, I offer a calm, grounded, trauma-informed conversation about what DID actually is — and what it isn’t. This is not a sensational episode.This is not a fear-based episode.This is a truth-telling episode. We explore: What Dissociative Identity Disorder clinically involves How dissociation exists on a human spectrum The neuroscience behind DID (what brain imaging actually shows) Why DID is an adaptation to early relational trauma How parts work differs from structural dissociation What healing actually looks like (hint: it’s not forced integration) Why DID is about protection — not pathology DID does not form because someone is weak.It forms because the nervous system is intelligent under impossible conditions. From both a clinical and mystical lens, we discuss how the mind organizes to survive what cannot be escaped — and why that is brilliance, not brokenness. If you live with dissociation, trauma, or parts of self that feel fractured, this conversation is for you. If you’re a clinician, healer, or simply curious about how the psyche adapts, this episode offers clarity without sensationalism. People with DID are not broken.They are adaptive.They are survivors. You are everything — and nothing less. — Christine Free, LCMHCThe LCMHC MysticBlending psychological wisdom and mystical insight. Website: www.merkabasacredhealing.comnstagram: @TheLCMHCMystic

    S1:E6: Stop Chasing Healing

    Healing has become something we chase. Perform. Optimize. Brand. But what if healing isn’t something you achieve? What if it’s something your system is already doing — and what actually matters is how you nurture? In this episode of The LCMHC Mystic Musings, I explore:• The commercialization of healing• Why grief doesn’t feel like healing — and that’s okay• The trauma-informed truth about adaptation• Why you are not broken• How to shift from chasing to tending This conversation is both clinical and philosophical — a reclaiming of healing as something biological, spiritual, and deeply human. You don’t need to be healed.You need to be tended. You are everything — and nothing less.

    Masks As Retainers: A Guided Meditation

    If you listned to Podcast S1:E5, we did a meditation all about releasing the old misaligned mask and coming back to realigment. You can learn more about this inspiration meditation in The LCMHC Mystic Musings Playlist and watch the Season 1 Episode 5 video :)  Enjoy a grounding, psychospiritual meditation designed to help you gently loosen the misaligned masks you’ve been carrying—whether shaped by neurodivergence, trauma, family roles, or spiritual identity. Through breath, visualization, and somatic awareness, you’ll honor the protective function of the mask, release what no longer aligns, and call in a new energetic “retainer” that supports your current truth. This practice blends nervous-system regulation with mystical symbolism to guide you back into embodied alignment, safety, and self-recognition.

    Are you a Good Witch? Or a Bad Witch?: Exploring Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon.

    In today’s episode, Christine explores the Baader–Meinhof Phenomenon — also known as the frequency illusion — and how this psychological pattern weaves directly into our healing, our subconscious, and the magic of what we choose to notice. This phenomenon is that strange experience when something you become aware of suddenly begins appearing everywhere. But what if we look at it through both a clinical lens and a mystical one? Christine dives into: ✨ How selective attention & confirmation bias shape our reality✨ Why the subconscious mind filters what we see and experience✨ How Internal Family Systems (IFS) and “no bad parts” connect to noticing patterns✨ How frequency, energy, and awareness influence the Baader–Meinhof effect✨ Why healing shifts what shows up in our external world✨ What happens when we intentionally choose to notice the good✨ The deeper metaphor of the “good witch” and the “wicked witch” inside us✨ How perception becomes a kind of magic — a frequency we project and receive This episode blends psychology, mysticism, and the quiet power of inner awareness.You may walk away asking yourself: What am I noticing?And what might be noticing me back? ✨ You are everything and nothing less.
