In this episode I share how my clients' evocative metaphor work included imagery around floating and water which led me to remember the work of Dr. Claire Weekes and her book, Hope and Help for Your Nerves Hardcover – January 1, 1969.

Oh the irony, I realized that in describing this idea WE didn't practice it. But I think that's not the easiest thing to do on a podcast because it needs empty air time.

This is my riff off of new research about Misophonia and how it's not about sounds but it's about the perceived violation of our bodily autonomy in some people, our bodies are mirroring the motor patterns. If we extend this metaphor, can we explore all other sensory inputs as well as the inputs of social, cultural and familial beliefs, thoughts and…

This episode I am riffing more on the "change is weird" theme I started last week. This week I had an experience with a flight being cancelled and I noticed how unusually calm I was.

This episode is a guided journey through processing an emotion. I recommend listening to it first before trying it, to acclimate your brain to the work that will be happening. While you are listening, pay attention to any judging or fear thoughts. Any thoughts that sound like, this won't work for me. I can't do this. I am bad at visualizing... and …

Episode 37 of Move With Deb, the Podcast is all about my inadvertent discovery of my own cognitive-somatic neuro-rewiring. Or as I sometimes lovingly think about it as training my dog of a mindbody. Or even simpler, I am untriggering myself. Language can be so imprecise in these moments and can be our greatest ally and tool. I hope you enjoy this e…

Welcome to Episode 35. I wanted to continue the conversation I started last week about Fear language in Trauma healing. But also what if there is danger? What if the systems we need to engage in for our lives to be operating with ease are rife with racism, sexism, fat phobia, trans phobia and so on? How can we use these tools and other ones in a sk…

Pain is a part of our protection system. I go through how the …

Dr. Sarno taught that unprocessed emotions, particularly anger and rage were responsible for chronic pain, back pain. Now with Trauma informed care and Polyvagal Theory the conversation has shifted to safety and fear. Underlying it all is this concept of Emotional Awareness. And more important (in my opinion) creating safety with Emotional Experien…

This podcast is very very late, because my perfectionist brain hijacked my body. The best news was although it was still happening, I knew WHAT was happening and so I had no feear.

This week's episode I explore the sensations in my body when I feel the perfectionist urge arise. I'm getting really good at decoding my body talk.

But I absorbed so many of those messages…
