Two years ago I went through what I can only describe as a dark night of the soul. Divorce, financial loss, estrangement, war in the countries I am from, and the slow drifting of family. And recently — something has shifted. A profound sense of aliveness has returned to me that I had not felt in a very long time.
In this episode I want to talk honestly about how I got here, because for those of you with complex trauma and dysfunctional family dynamics, this is not a story of one day everything was fine. It is a story of layers dying, of shame being felt all the way through, of co-regulation, somatic resources, and the moment I decided I would not allow my childhood to rob me of my life. I also share what I have been doing practically — dancing, nature, breath, sound and movement — and why aliveness is not something you can force, but something you come back to through the body.
