    #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 with functions 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. Doing so can lead not only to personal growth and wellbeing but also to improvement in and sometimes healing of your physical issues. drzwig.com - instagram.com/drzwig - youtube.com/drzwig - facebook.com/drzwig

    #59: Solve Your Relationship Conflict by Being a Musical Math Genius!

    It’s difficult to be objective about yourself, and when you interact with someone it can be daunting. You get caught up in the relationship process and lose yourself. This happens because a relationship is far more than just two separate human beings communicating by sending and receiving signals and messages. Together, you and the other person form a system in which the contents of your psyches lose their borders as they interact, merge, morph, conflict, entangle, disentangle, and behave as part of a whole. Your personal history, present consciousness, and future fate intertwine with the other person’s and create a third entity called, the "relationship.” The way to improve your relationship is to awaken to how your psyche gets entangled with theirs. This involves learning how to identify your own patterns of experience and behavior, and how they relate to the other person’s. To accomplish this, it’s instructive to understand how identifying patterns lies at the heart of both music and mathematics. This episode includes a discussion of the connection between music, math, and relationships…complete with some loud guitar riffing! Learning how to identify the psychological patterns in your relationships will lead to healing, growth, and wisdom. drzwig.com - instagram.com/drzwig - youtube.com/drzwig - facebook.com/drzwig

    #58: How to Transform a Relationship Problem

    “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction both are transformed.” – C.G. Jung. This episode guides you through a practical exercise for working on your relationship. Sit together and make a video discussing a problem you’re having. Watch the video. Then, both of you close your eyes and imagine you’re an old, wise man or woman. You’re clear-headed, objective, calm, and centered. You’re an enlightened elder who sees through peoples’ conflicts and dramas. You have a mature and understanding way of relating to human processes. You see and feel the big picture of life, and are beyond all the little-picture pettiness people get entangled in. You’re loving, free, strong, happy, and in touch with eternity and the true meaning of life and relationships. To do this, begin by seeing yourself as this wise figure. Take your time and create a really compelling vision. Observe every detail of how you would look as this wise man or woman. Then feel deeply into it. Afterwards, stand up and walk around the room embodying it in your movements. Finally, sit back down and watch the video together again. As you do this, be the wise figure and study yourself in the relationship. Do it in a loving, supportive, but insightful way. Notice if there’s something that’s hard for you to admit about your own behavior but is nevertheless true. After you’ve done this, have a respectful discussion about what you’ve learned. Doing this exercise will help you improve your relationship and find healing, growth, happiness, and success. drzwig.com - instagram.com/drzwig - youtube.com/drzwig - facebook.com/drzwig

    #57: How Objective Are You About Yourself?

    Being objective about yourself isn’t easy. You need a method to observe and facilitate your inner processes in a neutral, non-ideological way. Conventional psychology and psychiatry fail miserably at this but you can use processing methods to achieve it. drzwig.com - instagram.com/drzwig - youtube.com/drzwig - facebook.com/drzwig

    #55: Your Relationship Is a Movie and Band—What Role and Instrument Do You Play?

    Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art? Is your life like a movie, or is a movie like your life? Neither! Life and art are the same thing, and they both arise from your process. Your relationship isn’t "like" a movie—it IS a movie—a dream…and you play a character in it. Your character and that of your partner, create the story, and hopefully, it manifests a lot of goodness. But trouble can lurk in the shadows. One of trouble’s main instigators is when your character role gets cemented, set in stone, fossilized. For example, you’re the rational one and she’s the irrational one, or you’re the thinker and he’s the feeler, or one of you is responsible and the other is irresponsible. There are many character roles available: Dramatic and calm. Extroverted and introverted. Educated and uneducated. Spiritual and mundane. Pragmatic and idealistic. Leader and follower. Doctor and patient. Innkeeper and drunk! Relationship conflict arises when people become stuck in one of these roles. Switching them is a powerful, therapeutic change agent. Identifying the roles in your relationships and experimenting with swapping them will bring healing, change, growth, and happiness. drzwig.com - instagram.com/drzwig - youtube.com/drzwig - facebook.com/drzwig

    #54: How to Switch Roles to Change a Relationship Dynamic

    There are three levels of a relationship. The first one is what most therapists focus on—the communication level. This has to do with how well people share their feelings and listen to each other. Solutions on this level require you to learn how to communicate better. But oftentimes, this isn’t enough. You can learn all the “right" things to do but still suffer from conflict. The reason is that the other two levels have enormous influence on what happens. The second one is what today’s exercise focuses on—the internal level. Your partner, friend, boss, etc., aren't just real people out there with whom you communicate; they also represent psychological patterns in the form of inner figures/characters in a story in your own psyche. You don’t only relate to the other person, you also relate to this part of yourself without realizing. The most common inner figure that gets projected onto other people is an internalized parental figure. Change and growth happen when each individual becomes conscious of the other person as a part of their own psyche, and learns how to process it. The third level is the systems level. This is the level in which an individual refers to him- or herself as “we” instead of “I”—even if their partner isn’t present! The person identifies with the relationship as a system that acts as a being unto itself—one which is greater than the sum of the the two individuals. Transformation happens by working on the said and unsaid agreements that create something bigger than the two individuals. Everything you experience aims at your personal growth and expansion. If you can use your relationships in this way, it will lead to growth, healing, and wellbeing. drzwig.com - instagram.com/drzwig - youtube.com/drzwig - facebook.com/drzwig

    #53: Solving Relationship Conflicts by Accessing the Subconscious

    Relationships get stuck when one or both people aren’t conscious of their deeper feelings and needs. A powerful method for tapping into your subconscious where these unknown parts of yourselves reside, is visualization. People typically use visualization to help them get into a certain state of mind, improve their performance at something, clarify goals they want to accomplish, or even to try to heal physical illnesses. But a more effective approach is to visualize what you actually DO feel rather than what you want to feel. Instead of trying to create an experience, expose the one that’s actually there but hasn’t been consciously acknowledged, or at least hasn’t been communicated to the other person. Tapping into this inner truth will set you free. It might hurt, it could shock, or it may delightfully surprise...you never know. It might also bring out unconscious, knee-jerk reactions in the other person showing you that they may not be up to having a conscious relationship with you. Whatever happens, you will have set yourself on the path to healing, growth, and freedom from half conscious, half-truths about what’s going on in yourself and in your relationship. This will lead to self-actualization, wisdom, freedom, and success. drzwig.com - instagram.com/drzwig - youtube.com/drzwig - facebook.com/drzwig
