Absolutely wonderful conversation with TarotStache about Human Design, personality typing, knowing ourselves, and making space for deconditioning and growth. 

Was an absolute joy to be part of this discussion with such lovely practitioners about working with trauma.

"Welcome to the Season One finale of Couch to Couch. In this special episode, I invited three guests from our top previous episodes to discuss a common theme that had been running throughout Season One: trauma. The guests are Meagan Cumming RP, Jennifer Jurkofsky RP, and Ashley Ho RP(Qualifying). In today’s episode we covered everything from what trauma is, how it affects the body, and how it shows up in a person’s life, to how it's treated in therapy from three different perspectives..."

Loved being a part of this amazing series "Returning to Real" and getting to know these amazing women. 

"In the Returning to Real series, Carmen and Suzanne tap into the insights and wisdom of their guests. In today's conversation with Psychotherapist, Jennifer Jurkofsky  we discuss developing a connection with and returning to our true selves.  We delve into an exploration of various concepts, practices and modalities to assist people on their journey towards wholeness."

"What can we do to prosper when facing pain and suffering in our lives? More than a thousand studies suggest that a major part of the answer is learning psychological flexibility. Steven C. Hayes is one of the researchers who first identified that process and put it into action in the form of a popular acceptance and mindfulness method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In this emotional talk, Hayes distills the essence of psychological flexibility down into a few easy to understand sentences."

"The words themselves actually emit a unique vibration that the water is sensing. When water is shown a written word, it receives it as vibration, and expresses the message in a specific form, like a visual code for expressing words... When a complete geometric crystal is formed, water is in alignment with nature and the phenomena we call life."  -Emoto

"The stress bucket is a simple metaphor that shows how stress impacts on your wellbeing and how applying healthy positive coping mechanisms can help you feel less stressed and more in control."

"Human Design is a new system of self-knowledge that differs fundamentally from anything else that exists in the world today. It is not built on belief or faith but is a logical, empirical system which offers you the opportunity to experiment with its mechanics and find out for yourself if it works for you. It shows you a concrete map of your own nature and provides you with simple tools for how to be yourself and eliminate resistance in your life. Human Design offers you the opportunity to discover yourself and begin to understand and accept your very nature.  Human Design uses your birth data to calculate your design chart, or Bodygraph, which determines your Type and Definition, the key components of the system. The chart provides you with the simple mechanics of Strategy and Authority to experiment with, in order to live and discover your individual and differentiated nature."

While ultimately indescribable, this film points towards what realization of our true nature or Samadhi is.

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
