Integrating the ‘Id’: The Pipeline to Your Life Force Energy. w/ Dr. Sheira

I’m just SO excited to share this conversation with all of you. When Sheira Kahn and I get together to record a podcast, magic happens! It’s truly special. 

Back in the Spring of 2022, Sheira and I got together to talk about how to work with the inner critic in a powerful way. This is somethign we can all resonate with – the perennial question of, “how do we work with the chatty, sometimes intense inner critical voice inside?”

In this conversation, we take things one layer deeper by entering into the realm of the ‘Id.’ This is the primal, animal part of ourselves…but as you’ll hear, we have not been fair to this part of the human psyche. We have discarded it, and cast it into the shadows. In doing so, we have robbed ourselves of a much-need connection to the vital, life-force energy. 

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• Why it’s important to get to know our “Id”, our animal, instinctual nature
• What we weren’t taught in school about the “Id”
• How the “Id” interacts with the Superego and the Ego
• What the possibilities are for your life by interacting with the “Id” – magic can happen!
• Which parts of the psyche correspond to life force energy
• Why we’re so afraid of our “Id”
• How the Wizard of Oz is a tale of integrating shadow
• And so much more!
