Oh my! This episode! Im going to have to listen to it again because there was soooo much to absorb! I’ve always struggled with a lot of embodiment coaching because I tend to find a trail of harm behind the coaches. As someone who is probably neurodivergent, lives with autoimmune issues, and chronic pain/health the idea of embodiment didn’t feel right. Many days I feel like my body betrays me so I have to work to just feel neutral about her. The idea of dancing around with my sisters in the wilderness naked and having a Instagram full of artistic nude/semi nude pictures and being obsessed with sex does not appeal or even accessibility. But her perspective on embodiment find very interesting and something I’d like to dig into.
I also immediately clicked on her list of Atypical autism traits immediately and almost cried because of how much I related to it. Finally words to connect to my experience!
Please sign me up NOW for any future opportunities to participate in conversations with Heather! I loved everything about this episode!
In addition to the "top five" discussion, the other thing that jumped out at me here was the idea of listening to how my body responds to particular thoughts or experiences. Anyone else here grow up being taught that trusting your own body was the exact opposite of how a Christian ought to respond? Learning to actually listen to my body has been hard work, but knowing that I can trust myself has been incredibly freeing!
Wellll that was powerful! Seriously looking into the training she offers, too (I'm a therapist) - glad Krispin recommends it! Did he compare it to any similar therapy modalities he's used / learned about? By any chance??
I’m a bit late to listening to this, but loved it so much! Does anyone else have trouble understanding what the top 5 experienced of “fully alive” should feel like? I can’t think of one...maybe that speaks to how disconnect my mind/body/spirit/emotions have been my whole life. I can *maybe* think of when my body felt fully alive perhaps (something sensory/thrilling) but my mind/emotions is a different thing and that makes me kinda bummed...it makes me wonder how disconnected from myself I am even now and wondering how to process that.
Wow!! I’ve been thinking on the me Jesus would be question, and it just hit me… Jesus would be WAY fucking kinder to me than I am to myself with all of my personal expectations. Thank you both for this!!
Thanks for the transcript! That's how I best process podcasts :)
Oh gosh the atypical autism traits. I had to laugh at "Hates injustice and hates to be misunderstood; this can incite anger and rage" because I admit I can get very rage-y when this happens!

This was incredible. I’m still processing it. Thank you, Heather, and thank you, D.L.! I will definitely want to hear more.

It’s ok. It’s a bit ridiculous! And YES! I agree about having inclusive spaces! Thank you for introducing her to this community!
