Why You Never Feel Good Enough (A Meditation to Heal the Roots of Unworthiness)
Épisode 149
vendredi 23 octobre 2026 • Durée 43:17
Have you ever wondered why, despite all the inner work you've done, some part of you still feels like you'll never be good enough?
These deeply held feelings of unworthiness are often rooted in painful emotional experiences that younger, more vulnerable parts of ourselves are still carrying. And even after years of therapy, self-reflection, and personal growth, those old feelings of shame, inadequacy, and unworthiness can persist.
But these emotional wounds can heal, and one of the most powerful ways to begin is by developing a more compassionate, loving relationship with the parts of ourselves that are still carrying them.
In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I'll guide you through a compassionate, body-centered parts work meditation using RIM (Regenerating Images in Memory) to help you connect with and begin healing the emotional roots of unworthiness.
Through gentle somatic awareness, deep listening, and emotional processing, we'll connect with the younger parts of ourselves that are still carrying these wounds, explore what they're feeling and needing, and begin offering them the care and support they've been longing for.
This is the second meditation in our 3-part Healing Unworthiness series, focusing on Roots, the second of the 3 R's of transformational healing.
As these wounded parts begin to feel seen, safe, and soothed, the deeply held feelings, beliefs, and protective patterns that developed around their pain can begin to change at their roots. This is how we can create deep, lasting change in emotional patterns that may have shaped our lives for decades.
Perfect for healing unworthiness, inner child healing, body-centered parts work, somatic emotional processing, self-compassion, and transforming deeply rooted emotional patterns.
This is Part 2 in The 3-Part Series to Heal Unworthiness:

Feeling Unworthy? A Guided Meditation to Soothe Shame and Self-Judgment
Épisode 148
vendredi 16 octobre 2026 • Durée 36:37
Do you struggle with feeling unworthy, being overly critical of yourself, or feeling like you're never quite good enough? These feelings are incredibly common, and they're often at the root of patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt.
Even when we recognize these patterns and understand where they come from, it can be incredibly difficult to change them. We can still find ourselves caught in the same old feelings of shame and self-judgment.
Nervous system regulation can help us begin to shift these deeply held patterns. By gently working with feelings of unworthiness while helping our bodies feel safe and supported, we can gradually become less reactive to old triggers and develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves.
In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I'll guide you through a regulating meditation using Havening to help soothe feelings of unworthiness, shame, and self-judgment. We'll work with these feelings while helping your nervous system experience greater safety and support, so you can begin to feel less overwhelmed by old triggers and develop more compassion for yourself.
This is the first meditation in my three-part Healing Unworthiness series, where we'll explore the 3 R's of transformational healing: Regulate, Roots, and Re-Orient.
Perfect for soothing shame and self-judgment, healing unworthiness, nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.

Why Feeling Unworthy Can Be So Hard to Heal
Regulating Meditation For When You Feel Unworthy (using Havening)
Why Haven't I Healed This Yet? A Somatic Healing Perspective (Educational Episode)
Épisode 147
jeudi 15 octobre 2026 • Durée 15:28
Have you ever wondered, “Why haven't I healed this yet?”
Maybe you've spent years in therapy, meditation, or personal development, working hard to heal your anxiety, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or feelings of unworthiness. You've developed a deep understanding of yourself and your patterns, but somehow, you're still struggling with the same things you've been trying to heal for years.
This can feel incredibly discouraging, but from a somatic healing perspective, it makes so much sense.
Many of our deeply rooted emotional patterns developed when we were very young and have become woven into our bodies, nervous systems, and subconscious psyches. And to truly heal these patterns, we need to connect with the deeper parts of ourselves that are still carrying the emotional wounds that created them. This is where somatic healing can be so transformational.
In this educational episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, part of The HOW of Healing series, I'm sharing a somatic healing map to help you better understand what's happening within you and how to navigate your healing journey when you feel stuck or ready to go deeper. We'll explore how nervous system regulation, somatic emotional processing, and developing a more compassionate relationship with your inner parts can help you create meaningful, lasting change.
Perfect for understanding deeply rooted emotional patterns, nervous system regulation, somatic emotional healing, and learning how to create deeper, lasting change when you feel stuck in your healing journey.

Psychedelic-Like Effects Without Drugs? A Surprising New Study (Educational Episode)
Épisode 146
vendredi 9 octobre 2026 • Durée 09:04
What if you could experience some of the profound emotional insights and altered states of consciousness associated with psychedelics, without taking any psychedelics at all?
A fascinating new study suggests that we may be able to do just that!
Researchers studying Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM), a body-centered emotional processing method, found some surprising similarities between RIM and psychedelics, both in participants' brain activity and in their subjective experiences.
And this is especially interesting for emotional healing because both RIM and psychedelics may help us access emotions, memories, and parts of ourselves that can be difficult to reach through ordinary conscious thought.
In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I'm diving into the findings of this 2025 study, including the psychedelic-like experiences participants reported, what researchers observed in their brains using EEG, and what this might mean for healing deeply rooted emotional patterns.
I'll also share my own experiences with both psychedelics and RIM, including why RIM has become my favorite emotional processing method and how it's helped me create meaningful, lasting changes in my own life.
If you're curious about psychedelics, somatic healing, altered states of consciousness, or how we can access and heal the deeper emotional patterns that shape our lives, I think you'll find this research fascinating!
Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM): What It Is + How It Works
Épisode 145
vendredi 2 octobre 2026 • Durée 29:55
Have you ever wondered why you can understand a pattern so clearly, know exactly where it comes from, and still find yourself repeating it?
So much of what drives our emotions, reactions, beliefs, and behaviors happens beneath the level of conscious awareness. And sometimes, no matter how much insight we have or how much work we've done on ourselves, understanding a pattern isn't enough to actually change it.
This is one of the reasons I love Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM) so much.
RIM is a body-centered emotional processing method that helps us heal old emotional wounds, process difficult emotions and memories, and change deeply rooted beliefs and patterns that may be operating beneath our conscious awareness.
In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I’m taking you deep into what Regenerating Images in Memory is, how RIM works, and why I believe it can create such profound change. I’ll share how RIM helped me transform my own anxiety, inner critic, and long-standing emotional patterns, and explain how RIM works with the body and subconscious to help us create change at the roots of our issues.
We’ll also explore the fascinating science behind RIM, including memory reconsolidation and new research into what happens in the brain during a RIM session, with some surprising parallels to psychedelic experiences.
If you've done a lot of work on yourself and still find yourself getting pulled back into familiar patterns, this episode may help you understand why and introduce you to an entirely different way of working with what's underneath them.
Perfect for learning about Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM), somatic emotional processing, memory reconsolidation, subconscious healing, emotional healing, and changing deeply rooted patterns

The INauthentic Self (A Healing Meditation to Get Real)
Épisode 144
vendredi 25 septembre 2026 • Durée 30:23
Most of us deeply want to be ourselves and to feel seen and accepted for who we really are. So why do we still find ourselves people-pleasing, performing, making ourselves smaller, or trying so hard to be who we think we should be?
The places where we struggle to be authentic often have deeper roots than we realize. What looks like people-pleasing, performing, or being “fake” can actually be a self-protective response, shaped by the places where being fully ourselves hasn’t always felt safe or where acceptance and belonging have felt uncertain.
In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I’ll guide you through a compassionate exploration of your inauthentic self and the deeper reasons you may find it difficult to be fully yourself.
By connecting with this protector part, you can create more safety and self-acceptance within, giving you more freedom to be authentic in your life and relationships.
Perfect for healing people-pleasing, perfectionism, fear of rejection or criticism, parts work, self-acceptance, and reconnecting with your authentic self.

Self-Love Affirmations That Don’t Feel Fake (Try “Iffirmations” Instead)
Épisode 143
vendredi 18 septembre 2026 • Durée 21:57
Self-love affirmations are supposed to help us feel better about ourselves … which can make it especially confusing when sometimes they seem to do the opposite.
When we repeat things like “I am enough” or “I love and accept myself” but don’t actually believe them, affirmations can feel fake or even create resistance in our bodies and psyches. That’s because many of our beliefs about ourselves are rooted much deeper than our conscious thoughts.
In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, we’ll explore a more authentic alternative I call “iffirmations,” which can help us get unstuck by opening our minds to new possibilities, creative solutions, and more supportive ways of thinking without forcing ourselves to believe something that doesn’t feel true.
And because iffirmations often feel more authentic, soft, and inviting in our bodies, they can help soften resistance and support nervous system regulation while creating a gentle bridge between where we are now and where we want to be.
Then I’ll guide you through a self-love iffirmation meditation to help you soften toward yourself, listen more deeply to what’s real inside of you, and build a more loving relationship with yourself from the inside out.
Perfect for self-love, self-acceptance, limiting beliefs, emotional healing, and a more somatic approach to affirmations.
Inner Smile Meditation | Cultivate a Loving Presence Within
Épisode 142
vendredi 11 septembre 2026 • Durée 28:08
Our relationship with ourselves is shaped, little by little, by the way we meet ourselves internally, and today’s meditation is a beautiful practice for bringing more warmth, kindness, and softness into that relationship.
In this Inner Smile Meditation, inspired by the traditional Taoist practice, I’ll guide you to turn the warmth and gentle energy of a smile inward and explore what kindness, compassion, and loving presence actually feel like in your body. As we move deeper into the practice, you’ll have an opportunity to really connect with and receive from that warmth in a deeply embodied way.
This is a grounding and regulating healing meditation for cultivating a softer relationship with yourself and embodying more warmth, kindness, compassion, and connection from within.
Perfect for self-compassion, emotional healing, nervous system regulation, inner connection, and cultivating a more loving relationship with yourself.

Orienting + Havening: My Favorite Quick Nervous System Regulation Tool (Guided Practice)
Épisode 141
vendredi 28 août 2026 • Durée 13:49
When you’re feeling stressed, anxious, activated, or caught up in your head, sometimes you just want a simple way to help your nervous system settle.
This is one of my favorite quick nervous system regulation practices, and I turn to it all the time. It combines Orienting, a somatic practice that uses present-moment sensory awareness to help your nervous system register cues of safety, with Havening, a therapeutic technique that uses gentle, soothing touch to help calm the brain and nervous system.
Instead of trying to think your way into feeling calmer, these practices work directly with the body and the senses to help shift your physiological state.
In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I’ll guide you step by step through this simple combination of Orienting and Havening so you can experience it for yourself. It only takes a few minutes, and it’s a wonderful practice to come back to whenever you’re feeling stressed or dysregulated, or anytime you’d simply like to feel a little more grounded, settled, and calm.
Perfect for nervous system regulation, grounding, anxiety and stress relief, getting out of your head and into your body, and finding more calm in just a few minutes.

Can't Regulate Your Nervous System? Here's the Mistake Most of Us Are Making [Educational Episode]
Épisode 140
jeudi 27 août 2026 • Durée 18:33
Have you ever wondered why you can know all the nervous system regulation tools, use them regularly, and still find yourself getting pulled into anxiety, overwhelm, triggers, or the same emotional reactions again and again?
It can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’ve been doing the work and genuinely trying to support your nervous system.
In this educational episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I’m exploring one of the most common and subtle ways I see people get stuck with nervous system regulation, plus explaining a deeper approach that can help us work with our emotions in a way that creates more understanding, healing, and lasting change.
We’ll talk about the important relationship between nervous system regulation and emotional processing, and how learning to listen to what’s happening within the body can help us work with the deeper wounds, beliefs, and patterns underneath our emotional reactions.
There’s no meditation in this episode. Instead, this is part of The How of Healing, my educational series where we explore some of the deeper principles of somatic healing so you can better understand yourself, your patterns, and what actually helps create lasting change.
