Dr. Adam Zwig is a world renowned psychologist, musician, educator, and author. He has been featured on Billboard, SiriusXM Radio, CBS Radio, and many other stations, and in People Magazine, SPIN, Pollstar, and many other publications. Billboard calls him a “Renaissance man.” In this podcast, he merges psychology, communication theory, physics, neuroscience, and music to show how painful states of mind and difficult life issues aren’t pathologies but rather signs of personal growth trying to happen. Each lively episode contains an in-depth discussion and/or a practical exercise for processing and transforming problems like depression, anxiety, attention deficit, trauma, relationship conflict, and many other common issues. While conventional mental health practice focuses on trying to suppress what it calls, “mental illness,” Dr. Zwig demonstrates how to use these distressing experiences as the springboard for making profound positive changes. This is self-help and personal growth with a strong scientific foundation that leads to self-awareness, healing, and success. A personal note from Dr. Zwig: “I created this podcast to help your connect with the hidden purpose and meaning of your troubles. Doing so not only heals your problems, it connects you to your whole, true self.” Disclaimer: https://DrZwig.com/podcast-disclaimer

#60: How to Process a Body Symptom
When you experience a body symptom you most likely attribute it to an underlying physical process. You SHOULD think this way. Check out your symptoms with a medical doctor.
But there’s another, equally, if not more important, level of the human body—the PROCESS BODY. This isn’t a physical body you can see, touch, and quantify but rather an experiential body you can feel and visualize. It encodes and expresses the psychological processes driving your symptoms and illnesses.
To work on your process body, you must use your somatic senses and visualization to explore, unfold, and process your perception of symptoms in order to connect with their meaning and message. The more you’re able to integrate this message into your consciousness, the more you activate a natural healing response in your biochemistry.
Today’s episode guides you through an exercise for processing your physical symptoms.

Customer Reviews
What took me so long!
The generous sharing of healing techniques, unbiased research, easily understandable conclusions, and fearless proclamations makes Dr Zwig a hero to me. I’ve had decades of psychotherapy where NONE of these techniques were used and they were even discouraged for being ineffective and distractions compared to the “real work” of dredging up traumatic memories and supposedly draining the emotion from them by going into them over and over and over. Better late than never, Doc.
Tremendously helpful
Dr Zwig gives a newPerspective on what problems like issues and negative feelings mean which is different from the traditional psychology Academic viewOf how to deal withNegative things that happen in life. Instead of turning to medication denial distractions he shows how to Lean into the problem and make it work in our lives because they contain a clue to what can improve ourselves in our lives
Incredibly relatable
This podcast has been very easy to listen to and very helpful. I have been listening on and off for months now and everytime I come back I gain something. Almost like I come and listen when I feel I need and somehow the episode I listen to will help a current situation. Dr Zwig has a lot to offer without pressuring and trying to force a belief.
